How-To Geek
Favorite Firefox Add-ons
No this is not a list of “THE BEST EVER” extensions … I am so sick of those. I am just going to list the ones I use and never set up a PC without. After trying several I have come to be comfortable with the following list.
| Adblock Plus | Gets rid of annoying ads |
| Adblock Filterset.G Updater | Synchronizes Adblock with Filterset.G |
| CustomizeGoogle | Remove ads, Google tracking and much more! |
| DownThemAll! | Mass Downloader |
| Foxmarks | Synchronize bookmarks between machines |
| Greasemonkey | User Script Manager |
| IE Tab | Use embedded IE engine within Firefox |
| MinimizeToTray | Keeps Firefox running in memory, in taskbar |
| No Squint | Increases small text on websites and keeps the settings |
| StumbleUpon Toolbar | Self Explanatory – I customize to use as little space possible |
Of course I am always trying new ones as they come out and if I ever get time would like to create my own.
How about everyone else? What are some of your favorite extensions and why? I look forward to your feedback.
