My favourite Firefox Add-ons

One of my many favourite things about Firefox is the add-on support. The only problem is that there are a ridiculous number of them available and it is impossible to know which ones are cool. Here's a list of my favourite ones:

  • TabMixPlus - Enhanced tab browsing options. I can't emphasize how much I appreciate this add-on. There was a small time when it didn't work with firefox 2 and I was lost without it.

  • IE Tab - This simple extension allows you to view a page using Internet Exploiter as a tab inside of firefox. Very useful for those sites that look all screwy in the 'fox.

  • DownloadThemAll! - A great download manager, very easy to use. "Add another chunk, Mr. Ahab, he's not coming down fast enough."

  • StumbleUpon - Say goodbye to work and hello to the top ten browsers list.

  • Selenium IDE - Warning: this is a nerdy one. Unit testing for html pages.

  • Tab Catalog - Nifty little add-on which shows you little previews of all your tabs. This is a nice built-in feature in IE, so its great to have it in firefox too.


Thats all for now, but there are tons of great ones out there. Check out Mozilla's recommended add-ons here.

Hey Mikey

Great blog you have here! Thanks for adding the feed.

Just to add one of my own favourite add-ons to your list:

del.icio.us is a brilliant social bookmark manager.. and the del.icio.us Complete add-on makes it even better.

And by the way, if you'd like to check out "Chris's Pick" go along to http://del.icio.us/chrisdawson ;)
