Your top 5 Firefox Extemsions

I have the following...

  • Imageshack Right-click
  • Quicknote
  • IE Tab
  • Adblock
  • Tab Browser Preferences
  • Adblock Filter Set

Top5 in bold, I will look into downloading Tab Mix Plus as it seems a popular one. Some great extensions being posted, will be looking at getting several of them!

Here are some of mine

Linky – allows you to select and open multiple links in tabs/windows, can also show all target image links in one tab

Flashblock – stops flash from loading (great for annoying adverts with hard to find close buttons)

Repagination – say you have the first page of search results (e.g. results 1 to 10) on something like ebay or google, this allows you to load all of the successive page results in the same window after each other e.g. (results 1 to 10) then below (results 11 to to 20) etc

Sadly I can’t get ForceTabs to work :(

My biggest gripe with firefox is that it is sooooo slow at saving individual images, are there any extensions that have something similar to the floating image toolbar that ie has that can save faster?

Depends what type of images you're talking about. DownThemAll will dump all images on a page to a directory quite easily - also works with links as long as they're directly to a hosted image rather than imagevenue etc.

If it's a load of thumbnails to imagevenue type pages then you can open them all up in new tabs and use Magpie to rip the images from each tab into a single directory.

Cant live without Adblock, Bookmark Backup(firefoxloves deleting bookmarks), and Tab Mix Plus.
Flashblock and Download Embedded (d/l embebbed content i.e. video from sites) are useful though.
 
Fasterfox..you lazy people...Fine tuned by hand.. :rolleyes: If I'd known about faster fox I would'nt have though ..

Most of thw Fwibble.org ones there, deserve an honourable mention for being handy little tweaks. Sessionsaver I could just not live without anymore. Should become a built in feature imo. Flashgot+Flashget for server abuse when downloading.

Since picked up Bookmark Backup, good idea for an extension.

what theme is that ?
Click to expand...

Do you mean my firefox or my windows?

If you mean firefox, I've just updated my theme LittleMozilla and its dosen't seem to have the different extension layout anymore :/

For windows I'm using a hacked HmmXP theme, combining the coloured buttons of HmmXP blue theme with the look of the Whistler one.

It’s not saving multiple images in particular that’s annoying me, if I right click to save an image (of any size) it takes a couple of seconds to open the download box (cpu usages shoots up) and then it looks like the download manager is re-downloading the image from the net, though after reading the mozilla forums it would appear that firefox is just extracting it from the cache

It’s annoying because with ie it’s instantaneous, save -> choose dir -> job done
