foxtrot0 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 ok well i am somewhat new to fire fox and would like to know what the most useful extensions are and why. My current extensions are: 1. adblock plus: stops all those stupid adds i cant stand them 2. download statusbar: no window up 3. stumbleupon: great for random surfing 4. page update checker: self explanatory 5. smiley extra: i have java script off for adding worlds to favs, and the smilies just own 6. smooth wheel: self explanatory 7. answers: if i need an definitions its pretty handy 8. cookie safe: self explanatory 9. link alert: nice to know where links send you 10. no script: to be on the safe side 11. adblock filter set: i think it helps adblock 12. popup sound: i like to know when popups get pwnt are there any other extensions that would help? and please give a reason. thank you very much for spending your time giving me advice!

Anesthesia Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 CustomizeGoogle is good, as are Flashblock, IE View, ForecastFox, Greasemonkey & Menu Editor. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runesmithie Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 The main ones I'm using right now FlashBlock: I feel AdBlock is too excessive and I only really care about blocking flash ads ErrorZilla: Useful error pages :D Google Notebook: Useful for jotting down notes with websites Slashdotter: Gotta have my OMG PONIES!!! in YRO TabBrowser Preferences: Tab options, couldn't live without this Image Zoom: Image zooming ;) Popup Count, Google PageRank: Useless stats that are interesting :) I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.

Guest Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 My personal favorites are: Answers (great useful tool to look up words in your browser >> quick and simple) SmoothWheel (Self Explanatory) Leet Key (always useful if you want to turn something into 1337 speak :P) Image Zoom (Self Explanatory) & BBCodeXtra (which Cameron explained) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vape Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I use .org/wordpress/chatzilla-on-xulrunner/]Chatzilla, but as an XULRunner application rather than as a Firefox extension - that way, when I restart Firefox I don't have to restart Chatzilla :D Where the bloody hell are you?

pedm Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/recommended/ for the recomended scripts, most of which I use. I just used bbcodexra to paste that script, and also have htmlxtra, both great. PDM PDM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can try anyway by entering chrome://chatzilla/content/ into the location bar, but according to that page it won't work. Where the bloody hell are you?
