Which Firefox plugins do you find useful?
Which Firefox plugins do you use?
I use the following:
Session Saver: At startup, remembers the sites you last had open (and all current tabs).
NoScript: Disables javascript. Be careful, some websites need javascript to work properly.

I use SessionSaver too. Firefox would be pretty useless without it!

I also use:

Tabbrowser Preferences: Enhances control over some aspects of tabed browsing.

Copy All Urls: Copies all URLs of open tabs in structured form.

SearchStatus: Display the Google Pagerank and Alexa ranking.

Ive used this IE one that goes onto your firefox so you can view IE sites on firefox. It actually worked very well. But im still confused sometimes when it doesnt work. All you have to do though is restart firefox.

Wow, I did not really know that there was an IE style plugin for Firefox. This would eliminate me having to keep Internet Explorer around for "compatibility reasons".

Let me get the link to where to download it...

https://addons.mozilla.org/extension...cation=firefox

Not a plugin, an extention. I had gotten them mixed up. But anyway, thats it.

I will certainly check that extension out sometime. Hope it does what it says; it is sometimes annoying to have to keep 2 browsers around all the time.

Extension:
Stumble: awesome tool to lemme look around for suggested or top-rated sites.
IE Tab: Allows you to view a page in IE in a different tab
Faster Fox: makes it go faster and some other features.
Add N Edit cookies: well it's self explanatory. I still have to use this though, but i heard it's good from a friend to "do stuff with websites".

I also use Session Saver, it is very convenient when starting up your browser each day.

Session saver and Reload Every are very useful if you do any kind of autosurfing.

Yeah, definitely session saver so I don't have to reload all the web pages I was browsing every startup.
