i only use 3 addons, it's all i need: 1) Sothink Web Video Downloader (the best video capture software out in my opinion-even has a stand-alone application) 2) Password Exporter 3) AdBlock+ **just a reminder---Easy Youtube Video Downloader (FF addon) is a scam, as i had used it once and the next phone bill I had a charge for $15 just for using it, so I suggest everyone stay clear of it--it used to say free, i see they have removed that from its description now**
For web development i use FireFTP: fireftp dot mozdev.org Webdeveloper: chrispederick dot com/work/web-developer/ ColorZilla: colorzilla dot com/firefox/ Firebug: and: all in one Web developer's toolbox addons dot mozilla dot org/es-ES/firefox/collections/mozilla/webdeveloper/
Not mentioned so far, Browse By Name (which prevents magic bar hijacking) and Text Link which is similar to Linkification.
Like the run command in Internet Explorer when you download a file. OpenDownload It allows you to open /any/ file (executables, etc.) from the inter- net into the default program assigned by your operating system, with- out needing to save it first.
