web developer, yslow and firebug.. but I only use firefox for development.
damien: what does yslow give you that firebug doesn’t?
it isn’t my favorite, but i recently downloaded (and am really enjoying) Firenes It has over 2500 Nintendo games that you can play on your browser. And I remember playing many of these as a kid so it makes me reminiscent. Just get the addon, and choose from the ridiculously big variety of games to open in a new window and you can play with fluthering :)
Other addons I like: Stumble and Sxipper (for form filling and remembering username/passwords). OOooh and I also use Google Translate which can translate any page and/or sentence into English or whatever language I want really. That’s a useful one for sites in different languages of course.
All of these are compatible with FF3
@phoenyx: yslow doesn’t really add much, to be honest. Especially if you’ve got the web developer toolbar as well. But it does tie a few things together.
I have the Firenes add-on too its pretty cool but i find a large number of game wont work. Is it a mac issue or do you have that problem too Pnl?
@ bill – what games are you talking about? if you name a couple, i can check to make sure. from the ones i have tried, i have never had a problem. actually, ill join you in chat room, don’t want to thread jack
Del.icio.us bookmarks
Dugged
Firebug
Web Dev Toolbar
Flagfox
PicLense
Server Spy
The main add-on I use is Session Manager. If Firefox crashes, session manager can restore the window you had open before it crashed. And also, I like to have about 10 certain tabs open at a time, and with this add-on, I can restore them altogether at once, which saves a ton of time and hassle. Highly recommended.
@TrustingLife: Firefox automatically does that now. For example if FF crashes now, when it restarts it’ll ask me if i want to restore my previous session
videodownload helper – it let’s you download streaming media
@Mirza, that’s cool. And session manager is still great for people who like to open a bunch of tabs at once, like I do.
Reminder Fox, Wired Marker, Stumble Upon, a pink Firefox theme (thanks to Petey), and Boost Toolbar for Facebook.
