Firefox Extensions

**One4yu2c** · October 11th, 2006

For those of you running Firefox, what extensions do you currently run and/or recommend? Here's a list of mine:

AdBlock Plus
blocks ads

Adblock Filterset.G Updater
keeps AdBlock updated

Flashgot
works w/ external download managers

Mouse Gestures
web browse w/ mouse movements

ReloadEvery
auto refreshes web pages at set intervals, handy for forums that mark all topics as read after a set period of inactivity

Fasterfox
Firefox performance tweaks

IE Tab
embeds IE into a Firefox tab

AdBlock is the best. I love it and hate/can't surf the internet without it. I've also tried NoScript and it seems to work fine, but I got tired of having to worry about enabling javascript on every new site I went to and had never had a problem with malicious scripts before, so I scrapped that one.

I haven't tried IE tab, but that sounds like a good one too.

EDIT:
Just tried out IE Tab and it works AWESOME! What a great idea!
