Six Firefox Extensions That Save You Time

If you are a die-hard Firefox user then I am sure you are always on the look-out for tips and tweaks to get more out of Firefox in less time and hence be more productive.

Keeping that in mind, I decided to list six Firefox extensions, which I use in my daily life and which have been extremely helpful in saving me a great deal of time. I hope you will find them useful too.

IMHO
The three extensions that NEED to come with firefox as standard are:

Adblock Plus
Adblock Plus: Element hiding Helper
Adblock Filterset.G Updater.

Upon install those three, and setting filterset.g updater. I have not seen an ad in a very long time if I can recall.

I think it even blocks Google AdSense ads too

yeah those are definitely good ones, i also use noscript, littlefox, googlepedia, and forecastfox

I don't know why the writer loves those low-profile (and porbably low-quality) addons...
The BIGGEST time saver in firefox is Adblock Plus.

Never heard of Hyperwords it looks kind of cool. Anyway I use Adblock Plus, DownThemAll!, Tab Mix Plus, and NoScript.

[ice_prophecy]

The moment those are updated for Firefox3, I will start using them again.

edit: I take that back, only tab plus mix doesn't work for me.

[IzKyD1331]

none of these are compatible with Firefox 3

[ice_prophecy]

Give it a month, they will be ported over. Firefox2-Firefox3 is still in transition.

Also, the extensions mentioned above all work with exception to a few.

I'd really recommend that you try some of them :)

whens the release date for firefox 3?

[verb3k]

Late June or July

[ice_prophecy]

The release candidate is already out. The major extensions already work with firefox3.

I am currently using it. Its working pretty much flawlessly.

It only crashed once when I forced an older extension to run.

They should add to that feature "Send to N4G", that would save allot of time.

[tplarkin7]

It's the reason I switched to Firefox.

[Sheddi]

NoScript is very usefull

[B Man]

it still deserves its own spot... at #1.

[Jdoki]

These may not be strictly time saving (and some have been mentioned), but here are my faves:

DownloadHelper (go to YouTube etc and download the embedded vids - very handy)
gDocsBar (more control over Google docs)
Google Gears (used to view offline content, such as Google Docs)
Google Notebook (copy and paste anything from any page for later reference)
Google Toolbar
Google Reader Watcher
PicLens
DownloadThemAll
AdBlock Plus(yay!)
Tab Mix Plus
StumbleUpon

My must have addons are:
1. Proxyfoxy
2. FlashGot (to integrate with d4x)
3. Adblock Plus

Anyway, I really think this is an interesting thread but it shouldn't be here in N4G.
