Firefox Extensions

[Nemesis]

I'm gonna do it ... I've downloaded the AthlonXP version from moox, and am about to install it .... Now ...

What extensions are people using ... and why, please give links if you can.

There has been plenty of discussions on extensions in the "Firefox 1.0 - released 9th Nov 04" thread. Try a search in there.

I know ... but noone has listed the extension and why, hence this thread dedicated to the extensions only.

ok, the basics you'll need are: Java, Macromedia flash and Shockwave. other extensions and themes can be downloaded from http://update.mozilla.org

You'll need the sun java, but flash & shockwave comes with the installer.

none of those are "extensions" as such, nem is asking for reccomendations.. anyone that has installed FF will know where the default site is

nem. I've listed my current extensions here: http://s1lv3r.com/ext/index.php
You can install them directly from the page... much better than trawling through page after page of extensions. I'm making the assumption that you'll have similar tastes to me
Once you've installed any, do a "check now" from the advanced section in the options which will update them if they're not current.

Top picks are: Adblock, BBCode, Tab Preferences, Bookmark Sync and GMail notify. The others are more or less cosmetic rather than adding functionality.

http://www.extensionsmirror.nl is much more descriptive than the mozilla site and is generally more up to date.

<--- *edit, nem has the dubious honour of being responsible for my first golden ball thanks nem

Sorry to kinda hijack thread, but just wondered if anyone is having probs with WeatherFox (v 0.5.1) ??

It works at work on my Dell Win 2000 lappy, and used to work on my old Dell XP desktop, but won't on my new Evesham XP desktop.

I've downloaded it, installed it, set it up, but in my taskbar at the bottom, all I have is foxytunes ext, GMail ext and the resize thing in the corner.

Again, apologies for hijacking.....

Where did you tell it to place the weather information or is it not showing in your extension list at all? I have 0.5.1 running ok here with Noia2. Are you running a theme on FF?

I found the FireFtp extension worked well for uploading stuff to my website, simple '2 pane' jobby, but does the trick

[ikthius]

extensions I have:

Foxytunes: to play music through my browser, you need to have some kind of player though
Weatherfox: to display my local weather in the browser and get updates hourly
Gmail Notifier: to log into gmail autonatically without going to gmail, it will tell you if you have any new mail
bbcode: to add bb code to forums if you don't know bb code, but cable forum does not support it
tweak network: to make firefox browsing faster
adblock: to block ads, you can choose what to block.....this is one to have
html validator: in the view page source this goes through all html and validates it from w3c, helpful for your own webpages
colourzilla: a colour picker, helpful for web pages, goes throug rgb, hex


thats all i got

ik

p.s. I used to have fireFTP, but it was ok, not as good as Filezilla though, but filezilla is not an extension it is a stand alone prog from the people at mozila
