20 Best Firefox Extensions for Power Surfing (2026 Update)
Which are the best Firefox extensions? Our first list in 2005 had 50 add-ons, from All-in-One Gestures to IE Tab and Linky. Firefox has since rebuilt its add-on system, and almost all of those old extensions stopped working in 2017. Firefox is still the best browser for power users who love extensions, especially now that it keeps supporting full ad blockers. Here are the 20 Firefox add-ons worth installing in 2026, grouped by what they do.
Quick answer: The best Firefox extensions in 2026 are uBlock Origin for blocking ads and trackers, Bitwarden for passwords, Multi-Account Containers for separating logins, Dark Reader for dark mode, Sidebery or Tree Style Tab for tab management, and SponsorBlock for YouTube. Install them only from the official Firefox Add-ons site.
Table of Contents
Privacy and security
- uBlock Origin – the most efficient ad, tracker and malware-domain blocker. Firefox still supports its full version.
- Bitwarden – free, open-source password manager that syncs everywhere.
- Firefox Multi-Account Containers – keep work, personal and shopping logins in colour-coded tabs that cannot see each other’s cookies.
- Facebook Container – isolates Facebook so it cannot follow you around the web.
- Privacy Badger – learns to block invisible trackers automatically.
- ClearURLs – strips tracking codes from links.
- Consent-O-Matic – answers cookie banners for you, choosing the most private option.
Tab management
- Sidebery – vertical tabs in a sidebar with panels and tree view. Firefox now also offers built-in vertical tabs.
- Tree Style Tab – shows tabs as a tree, so pages you open from a page stay grouped under it.
- Tab Session Manager – saves and restores whole sets of windows and tabs.
- OneTab – collapses all open tabs into a list to free memory.
Firefox now has built-in undo for closed tabs (Ctrl+Shift+T), so you no longer need the old Undo Closed Tabs extension. More tips in our guide to managing tabs in Firefox.
Reading and appearance
- Dark Reader – dark mode for every website, with brightness and contrast controls.
- Stylus – apply your own CSS styles to any site.
- Simple Translate – translate selected text or a whole page quickly.
- SingleFile – save a complete web page as a single HTML file for offline reading.
YouTube and media
- SponsorBlock – skips sponsor segments and intros in YouTube videos using community data.
- Enhancer for YouTube – control playback speed, volume and theatre mode.
- Video DownloadHelper – save videos you have the right to download.
Power user tools
- Violentmonkey – run user scripts that customise websites, the modern successor to Greasemonkey.
- Grammarly – grammar and spelling checks in every text box.
Tips for using Firefox extensions safely
- Install only from addons.mozilla.org. Look for the “Recommended” badge, which means Mozilla has reviewed the add-on.
- Check permissions. An extension that wants to “access your data for all websites” needs a good reason.
- Keep it lean. Each extension uses memory. Remove ones you have not used in a month at about:addons.
- Watch for ownership changes. Popular extensions are sometimes sold and turned into adware. Read recent reviews.
What happened to the classic Firefox extensions?
In 2017, Firefox 57 (Quantum) switched to the WebExtensions system shared with Chrome. Legacy add-ons such as All-in-One Gestures, IE Tab, Linky and Tab Mix Plus in its original form stopped working. Some returned as new versions; others were replaced by built-in Firefox features. Our older extension manager roundup shows how much has changed, and our look at popular browser toolbars covers the same story.
FAQ
Do Chrome extensions work in Firefox?
Not directly, but many developers publish the same extension for both browsers because they share the WebExtensions format.
Does Firefox still support uBlock Origin?
Yes. While Chrome moved to Manifest V3 and limited full ad blockers, Firefox continues to support the complete uBlock Origin.
Do Firefox extensions work on Android?
Yes. Firefox for Android supports a large and growing set of extensions, including uBlock Origin and Dark Reader.

Lightshot is an excellent Firefox addon, but it can’t copy to the clipboard – I believe that this is deliberately prevented by Firefox itself.
I used opera for a long time since the early versions when it had an ad banner in the menu bar +/-.
Opera had (has?) a button which changed the layout(?) of the page like background color, fonts and almost everything else like we wanted plus the integrated ones
This is really nice post works well and easy to configure…thanks for all info..
Great list – all the more so since it was initially posted in 2005 and many of the recommendations are still actively developed and continue to provide terrific functionality. I’ve been using quite a few of the ones listed, but there are a few that I think I’ll add to my ever expanding add-on bucket.
Someone mentioned FEBE as a backup tool, now Chuck Baker has released 2 great companion add-ons, CLEO that can create an XPI add-on package of all of your add-ons and OPIE that allows you to import and export your installed extension preferences so you can easily migrate them to other computers.
Some other add-ons I like:
– MinTrayR – minimize FF to tray
– Stay-Open Menu – let’s you keep drop-down menus open even after you move you mouse away
– Stop Autoplay – disable autoplay of embedded music /movies
– Ghostery – blocks 3rd party web bugs
– Daily Dilbert (speaks for itself)
– BarTab – already mentioned but a great tool
cheers
Controlling firefox tabs extensions are the coolest one…
Just an addition since you mentioned “extended status bar” as being a previous feature of opera:
“Reload Every” was an opera (exclusive) feature as well. I used opera for a long time since the early versions when it had an ad banner in the menu bar +/-.
Opera had (has?) a button which changed the layout(?) of the page like background color, fonts and almost everything else like we wanted plus the integrated ones. Was it CSS’s? It was very good for me because I could read much better but I’m so used to FF I don’t want to go there and have 2 browsers. I wish FF had something like that because I don’t know what to search for in the ad ons. Cheers!
I also recommend ietab over ieview..just my opinion guys.
Cool, I want to some functionlity in my website too here a firefox user can make this experience
I like “PageSlices addon for Firefox”. Very powerfull implementation WebSlices ideas.
Nice list, I was searching for firefox addons then I found your site…extremely useful..thanks for sharing it :)
Take a look at FoxyBay http://www.foxybay.com, if you search eBay regularly this plugin is for you.
Whenever you gets the updates of Firefox (for only browser),most of the time there is chance of incompatibility of any of your favorite add-on.
So here is simple and effective hack for this problem…
Check this link out for more detail & simple explanation along with images
Make Any Add-on Compatible To Any Firefox: ProBlogBooster
thanks man, this helped me so much, i m looking for something like addon “reveal” and you show it here
thannnnks man, keep good work! :)
I would also recommend
WebRank Toolbar – Google Pagerank, Alexa, Compete and Quantcast Rank 1.1
A toolbar which will give you automatically website rank and pages indexed in various search engines. It is a tool for SEO and website analysis too. It includes:-
1. Google Pagerank
2. Alexa Rank
3. Compete Rank
4. Quantcast Rank
5. Pages indexed in Google
6. Pages indexed in Bing
7. Pages indexed in Yahoo
And click on each button to get more information about rank or pages indexed.
I like web to PDF converter for Firefox, allow to save web pages to PDF directly from browser.
I did not see an ad blocker – i use adblock plus
I may be silly, but i really like the “Colorful tabs” addon!
Also i recommend one called FEBE (not here though) thta can backup your addons booksmarks and such…
Firefox rules! ;D
Interesting list!
Do you know any extension that lets us open pages source codes in external apps? I’d like to open it on Notepad++, to have lines counted and highlights!
My top FF add-ons are not on this list. Check the below ones which I believe are the best.
-Abduction
-Any Color
-BabelFish
-FlagFox
-Image Assistant
-Line Marker
-Locationbar2
-McAfee SiteAdvisor
-PopUpSound
-Pronounce
-QuickPage Zoom
-Windows Update
-WOT
I found something I use , Scribefire Rocks!
Great list…
Though I have used some of the add ons you have listed. This is a huge list. Thanks a lot
I would add also :
Enables Firefox to search MSN, Yahoo and Google simultaneously via the engine
I have to mention BlueDot.
I use faves to save (one link at a time) link and post a quick note about it that I can retrieve from another computer later. Linkwad or Galleropa is for saving multiple tabs. Faves has a more active user group than mogda, yoono, etc.
ScribeFire/Performancing is excellent for research notes, but unless one has set up a blog, confined to one computter.
Once again, go visit http://faves.com/home …
last.fm is great. so is stumble upon, but I think that was in your list.
Instead of Stealther, I use Distrust. I don’t know if stealther works okay, but Distrust works very well. You click the distrust ‘eye’, and nothing get’s saved anymore, till you click it again, and then you are returned to the web site which you were visiting before (when your boss/teacher comes in xD)
FireGestures… best mouse gestures extension imho. Combined with autoHideStatusbar and Stumble, you can have a really neat fullscreen surfing experience. (You can use FireGestures to open tabs, cycle between them, close them, open Google or any webpage, save bookmarks, etc… You can even a custom script to ‘stumble’ with a single flick of the mouse!).
Nice List!
I recently wrote my own list on my blog. You missed a couple of my favorites including FireBug!!
the best extension “cookies manager”, It’s fully customizable.
TopicInsight is a new cool search helper addon. I really recommend it. Very easy to find related web pages. I mean not only similar pages, but other ones too. Even those ones you’d never find the other way. It is still in the sandbox, but I had a chance to try it. It’s actually very useful.
why can’t I download the video as I used to in firefox2? I have to copy the link to internet explorer then download the video.
I’m still looking for something that auto corrects any text I type into a text box….. Anyone?
Tree Style Tabs is a much better way to do what Separare tries to do IMHO.
Is there a plugin which auto corrects typing in the browser? like the auto correct in word.
I suggest OutWit Hub. It allows you to:
– extract data tables such as the CNN or Forbes’ rankings and export them into a pretty Excel spreadsheet,
– download tons of pictures, mangas, wallpapers,
– grab and find numerous documents of the topic you want on google or other search engine,
You can find somes reviews at
Cheers,
This is my list of favourite Firefox add ons:
Thanks for this directory of extensions. I have tried some of them that i didnt know existed. Awesome.
NICE collection i currently use some but plan to use a few more from the list..!
Simply select any text on your screen, and you can get the search results immediately in Google (text, image, video, …), YouTube, Maps, Amazon, and more. No need to open new window (tab), unless that is what you want (see below).
Screenshot:
http://www.cleeki.com/firefox.html
I like Go Green Label….For environment!
FasterFox is a damaging addon for a few reaons.
It words by downloading data from links on the page you are browsing. That can include links which will perform actions, such as posting on forums or purchasing items (this will not usually occur in a well coded site, but it has been reported to happen).
It also loads content from people’s website continually, and becomes hugely expensive to the website owner due to the amount of bandwidth being used.
I would probably be a good idea to remove it from the list.
I think Google Toolbar isn’t a good idea if you want to be secure about your privacie life. all the bar you install on any navigator is watching where you go, what you like, and where you live.
With that, Google can influence you choosing his services because he knows how to speak to you.
Soory for my english.
If you need to do any css style sheet changes then editcss is a must. http://editcss.mozdev.org/
This is the best collection of the firefox extensions I have ever seen.
Great Job..
@ iusMateo
Ahah, poor Opera. It has much less functions that Firefox with 4 or 5 extensions. TabMix Plus, NoScript, Secure Login, FlashBlock and All-in-one-Sidebar, then you go with Autofill Forms and DownThemAll!, you get Opera, more or less, then you go with 50+ must have extensions (most of them not counted here) and you Opera 15.5 or something. Since they still are on Opera 9.5, it’ll take them a LONG time to get to Firefox.
OMG! You combine all this extensions in one browser and you get….
Opera =O
What about the following extensions?
Piclens: very very good. turns a borrrrring image search into a superb experience. must have add-on.
Stumble Upon: good for discovering new websites.
FlagFox: feel safer in the most secure browser. know where a web site’s server is!
Net Usage Item: measure ur broadband usage.
Cooliris Previews: for the people who like less windows and tabs.
Just got to the following site and search for the above extensions. sorry i could not get the links.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/
FireFox Rocks but there should be three or so leading browsers on the web with each having a 30% share of the market. We shouldn’t be trying to take over IE’s reign we should just be trying to dampen it down somewhat so that there is no market leader.
Yea, for Web Devs: Firebug!!!! Also, YSlow to see how to improve a site’s performance.
What plugin(s) do I need to install to be able to “clip” stuff from youtube, send it to my email add, hdd or wherever so I can play it instantly and not have to wait for it to slowly download?
Cheers
nice list — these belong on my site; you should visit it and participate – you could contribute a whole lot; otherwise, i’ll do it myself. don’t worry about being too thorough, all site members can edit entries..think digg meets wiki.
reliablesource.org
Also Quick Translation
The most easy to use translation add-on.
Please consider our iMacros for Firefox for your next update to this list. I use it daily!https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3863
proxies dont work anymore can someone give meh sumthin else non related to proxy? pleeeeze:)
Opps! I meant to say, “…I DON’T want to sort through in Google results…”
I guess Youlicit Firefox extension can fall under “Control Web Searches”. It’s a great tool for finding similar websites based on the one you’re on. You can save your findings as well just like Del.icio.us, but Youlicit takes to the next level by providing you relevant websites so you won’t have to search as much. I find myself using Youlicit at least twice a day to find something that I want to sort through in Google results. I’m sick of Google’s outdated results, to be honest.
firebug is much better than Web Developer
again, thx.
this will be my first site every day :)
Wowww.
So glad I found this, have installed a whole bunch haha
Thanks for putting this together :)
Please consider our Interclue addon for your next update to this list. Try it, I think you’ll like it.
My all-time top extension is Cooliris, for previewing links on a page in a separate window. Even though I don’t use Firefox on a regular basis, I sometimes fire it up specifically to use this plugin.
It is faster than actually following the link, which saves me a lot of time, especially if the link is not especially useful.
performaning’s pluin for blogs is the best ever i liked. Any ways i prefer to use flock browser over firefox.
Great list. Thanks for providing such a useful resource.
One suggestion please update the list according to latest extensions.
Thanks in advance.
I would recommend foxyproxy over switchproxy too.
Really nice list, thanks!
Firefox Extension Backup Extension (FEBE) and Fire Encrypter are also nice extensions.
The Diigo tool bar is also pretty cool~~
I would recommend foxyproxy over switchproxy; I’ve used both and foxyproxy has much more functionality – there’s also currently a way to implement proxy based on ip, and it’ll be integrated in the next version.
Great list. Thanks!
I have installed a few extensions from your listing, some of which I never knew existed! :)
tab mix plus includes the functionality of Sessionsaver, undoclosetab and Tab X.
one of my favorite extensions is easyGestures. it’s a mouse gestures extension but it has a gui so it makes it so much easier. i have like 8 different actions defined that i use regularly and about 7 more that i use once in a while. with regular mouse gestures (which i used to use) it is much harder to remember and perform that many actions with the speed and ease of easyGestures. it is also very customizable and lets u launch bookmarks or local programs or custom scripts, lets u transform it into a circular or linear menu with regular, little or no icons. theres a lot more options but u get the idea.
other extensions i like are:
CoLT (Copy Link Text)
editcss
enhanced bookmark search
googlebar lite
iget (start a download from an address)
Nuke Anything Enhanced
popup alt attribute (like in ie)
show image (like in ie if an image fails to load)
Super DragAndGo (drag a link to open in new tab, drag a text link to open the address or drag a word to search)
(all found on the mozilla site)
undotab can’t be use in ff 0.9 above
Hi,
I like 2 extensions form Firefox.
1. Html Validator (it have an internal validator and it can validate your source like w3.org)
2. Search Status (it is a litlle extension what check your webpage rank from Alexa and Google)
Regards
Very good list plus if you look at the comments, you can find few more!
Thanks. Thought I had them all, but realise I missed a few essentials…
Another extension that I really love is Super DragAndGo.
Its a really great extension that lets you drag a link and automatically open it in a new tab. When you are done, just close the tab with your mouse gestures and you are right back to where you started. Works on images too.
Nice list thanks… You missed a freind of mines extensions off..
https://www.activeinboxhq.com/index.php
Thanks for these, I tend to use the web developer toolbar, google toolbar and all in one side bar. Give them a wirl!
P2P for Firefox.
https://www.allpeers.com/
diigo is a killer — a big time saver for me
Well, you didn’t miss ANY of my favorites. AND, I picked up a few new ones to try. THANKS for the post!
can u suggest me a firefox plugin for capturing online web flash animations? i think firefox loses here with IE.
this a really extensive list. thanks… I am going to try some of them. My fav is the tab mix plus that saves my tab sessions. I also want to add Mouseless Browsing as a good extension that allows you to surf without a mouse if you have RSI.
Finally I found it, I was looking for the InFormEnter for my firefox but didn’t remember the name.
Thanks
Please do add Firebug. It’s unmissable!
Checkout the blueorganizer extension from adaptiveblue. Like one of our users said: Its like your bookmarks in high definition!
https://www.adaptiveblue.com/
Alex
Everybody … is there any extension to auto open many link from lists … ?
nice blog! keep it up!
btw anather handy extension is
Searchbar Autosizer:
with it you can alter the default size of the firefox’s searchbar.
As a web developer my best friends are
Web Developer
CSS Viewer
Aardvark
CheckPage links
etc …
I miss Foxy Voice, which doesn’t work for FF 1.5. Does anyone know of another FF text-to-speech extension? Thanks!
Thanks for taking time to compile a very useful list.
You should definetly add permaTabs to the “control firefox tabs” section.
Fun list, thanks. I’ve got several of these excellent extensions and I must say that my supercharged Firefox is one of my most important productivity tools! I’d add the new coComment extension to this growing list. Helps me keep great track of my blog comments.
In the ‘Control your Bookmarks’ category I would add Jeteye. Finally a way to easily group links and images in a taggable and searchable way. I’m totally hooked!
I’ll suggest TimeTracker, to keep track of time using Firefox.
It should go in the “Control myself” category :)
Would like to add cookiepie, a recently added extension.
It can be downloaded here
Now is easier to open different gmail accounts on each firefox tab.
Best screen capture extension (Firefox 1.5, no Java): Pearl Crescent Page Saver
https://pearlcrescent.com/products/pagesaver/
Best search engine ordering extension: Search Engine Ordering
https://maltekraus.de//Firefox/Search-Engine-Ordering/?lang=en
Best crash recovery extension: Crash Recovery
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=164513
Best automatic currency conversion extension: ViewMyCurrency
https://viewmycurrency.wordpress.com/
TamperData is handy for Web Development.
A
I maintain a list of extensions designed primarily for Web Developers.
I am surprised in a “constantly updated” site, that gmail delete button is still listed as it has been included in Gmail for some months. So this extension now only creates a redundant Delete button.
Firefox Showcase, one of the extendfirefox contest finalists. Better than foxPose and Separe and from my point of view even better for navigating through Tabs and Windows than Reveal.
Nice list! May I humbly suggest Hyperwords? http://www.hyperwords.net
Excellent find on the Forecastfox Enhanced. I love the ability to pick a URL for the radar image. Ive never liked the Accuweather radar images. Now I can pick my local news station to get the image, I can pick the display size of the image and animate it.
Great find and great work on the part of the author.
Scribe : Open and save form entries as files.
i found a very cool extension for filtering web sites it’s called ProCon, you can find it in the firefox extension site
ScreenGrab should only be recommenced for Firefox 1.0.x users who have Java installed.
Firefox 1.5 users should use Pearl Crescent Page Saver instead.
It uses the brand new Canvas feature instead of Java to save the viewable portion or the whole page with one mouse click.
Additionally you can use “firefox -savepng https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/” to save a screenshot from the command line.
Pearl Crescent Page Saver works like a charm and is localized in cs-CZ, de-DE, en-US, es-ES, fr-FR, it-IT, ru-RU, sk-SK and sl-SI.
first of all, the tabbrowser preference is broken. you can’t middle click the bookmark into a new tab anymore. i’ve emailed the author and he doesn’t respond. this only applies on brand NEW installs of FF1.5.
secondly, many users still rely on the ‘favorites’ folder for all their bookmarks and thus far, there hasn’t been a bookmark extension uses the fav folder like IE does. it should be fairly simple to write, if i only had the time! i’d hate to synchronize it everytime i add/remove a bookmark! the closest one is syncmark but 1.5 broke compatibility. i was using it for a while.
This tool enables you to add a custom search engine to Firefox with one click. You can include 1-25 sites.
Mozilla Firefox Custom Search Engine.
Tab X isn’t necessary with the existance of Tab Mix Plus, as TMP allows the addition of the X to each tab, while also removing it from the main Tab Bar.
I have my ‘X’ set to appear only upon rollover.
Tab Browser Extensions
https://piro.sakura.ne.jp/xul/tabextensions/index.html.en
This extension will do what tabbrowser preferences, tab mix plus, unclosetab, tab x, and duplicate tab all do, plus alot more.
I never understood why this is not on the mozilla site…it it one of my favorite extensions. Check it out.
Nice list…keep up the good work!
Folks !
What about Save Page As ?
I gonna nutz searching good or serviceable extension for Firefox 1.5.
Nothing works.
One works but bunks midway. When you copy web page or it’s text, the Save Page As tab doesn’t
work when u right click to use it.
Don’t tell me Scrapbook or Slogger or Toolbar Enhancements. My great FF was dead the next
minute with these.
I had to scratch it and reinstall back to life.
The whole / holy FF 1.5 community including it’s fathers who had gone bonkers about this great
browser seem to have forgotten about simplifying SAVE PAGE AS.
Everybody saves. I save. You save and the globe saves.
Any wonder boy here ? ? ?

Groowe toolbar firefox extension,has them all ,Yahoo,Google,Dogpile,etc. you name it,it has it..
Great list. Here’s my contribution:
X-Ray | Displays the HTML tags around the content on a webpage, letting you see how the document was constructed without having to go back and forth between the sourcecode and the rendered page in your browser.
:-)
browster.com – IE/Firefox-plugin software allows pop-up previews of webpages, and helps in browsing and loading pages faster.
I just wish they’d fix the Search Web rightclick so that it actually worked right… putting quotes around the selected text so every phrase you search for doesn’t put half the Internet in the results, and every name you search for doesn’t grab every geneology page.
As far as additional addons go… that long unused blue bar at the top would make a dandy place to put a newsticker, like on the bottom of the screen at FoxNews.
I never ever want to open a link in a new window, I wish I knew how to drop that option out of the rightclick list…
For most people, Platypus (platypus.mozdev.org) is a useful adjunct to Greasemonkey.
Yeah, Performancing is antoehr “must-have” extension
You might want to change your link from Adblock to Adblock Plus. Adblock is no longer updated and is completely useless on the new versions of Firefox, afaik.
i love the new performancing for firefox extension. it makes blogging while switching between tags so easy….. i also love the Sage RSS feed reader extension.
y would u install, load and use 4 different extensions if Tabbrowser Extension does all of them for you?
FilterG is great but it too powerful, can cause you not to see some of the image that website have it own that are not ads
I’d like to recommend MR Tech’s Local install in place of Restart Firefox. It has the “Restart Firefox” functionality, plus other functions to help manage extensions (such as alphabetical sorting of the extensions list, ability to override compatibility checking, auto-generation of plain text or HTML lists of installed extensions, etc.). Really a very nice piece of work.
Don’t forget conQuery. Adds your search engines to the context menu when a word is selected.
And menu editor. It allows complete customation of Firefox’s menus.
From the same person who brought Disable Target For Downloads, Context Search is another must-have tool for me, and should be for anyone who frequently uses the Mycroft search services.
You forgot one, well strictly not an extension but a plugin non the less : http://www.igloader.com/
Colorzilla
MeasureIt
EditCSS
all can be found on the mozilla site. They’re good for developers. Also I like OpenNewWindowFromHere
You should check out chipmark, it is an excellent bookmarking tool.
Viamatic foXpose is a brilliant extension to get an overview of your tabs
Let me be the first to say THANK YOU! Many very useful things here. Question: These DO add to the boot up time of Firefox, am I right? Takes up more system resources?
If you want to format a webpage for printing, you can remove clutter by using these two extensions – Nuke Anything Enhanced and Aardvark. Also, similiar to Paste and Go is Fetch URL. Xinha is WYSIWYG editor for commenting in blogs (its the tool I’m using to post this comment). Also, for bloggers is Performancing for Firefox, a full featured blog editor. Rounding off, I would like to add QuickNote, an extension that adds Opera’s Notes feature.
u forgot antipagination, very cool with scrapbook fro offline browsing.
I was using bookmarks syncronizer for a bit, but had troubles with it. Then I found FoxMarks (in beta) which gives me access to all my bookmarks in the same structure as my menus, and should (I haven’t tested this yet) sync my PC at work to match.
I recommend ietab over ieview anytime…
The first extension I always install is PasswordMaker from http://www.passwordmaker.org — it is a password generating extension that generates a different password for each web site you visit (based on a single master password) so you no longer really care if some web site has lax security and a hacker steals its password database.
What? POTO Sidebar is not in there?! :D
Great post!
I’ve installed a few extensions from your listing.. some of which I never knew existed! :)
Here are a few extensions I recommend (copied from my own list of extensions that I find useful):
I like Add Bookmark Here, which adds an similarly titled menu item to every submenu in the Bookmarks menu enabling easy bookmarking in any folder.
Then there’s Uppity, which adds an “Up” toolbar button that can be added to the navigation toolbar (and optionally the status bar, too), and makes navigating up a website’s directory structure as easy as clicking the button or pressing Alt-Up (Option-Up on Macs).
Finally, Tabs Menu adds, appropriately enough, a Tabs menu to Firefox’s main menu bar. This simple feature makes navigating the current window’s open tabs much, much easier.
I’d recommend the Perfomancing extension for blog posting, and the Xinha Here! for adding WYSIWYG editing to any web form.
I also recommend Xinha
