Favorite Firefox Add-Ons

[VA1N]

This thread stems from another thread where we got off topic and started talking about different addons for firefox. I figured I'd make a thread about my favorite and have you guys lists yours. List 'em all if you like them...try to put them in order though, your favorites first, least last. Here's mine.

1. Delicious Bookmarks - Sign up for delicious (bookmark site) and download the delicious bookmark toolbar. This brings up a small section on the left of the screen where you can categorize bookmarks, share with others, etc. It's my favorite and I couldn't live without it. Bookmarks go from computer to computer also, even without firefox (through delicious.com).
2. Lazarus Form Recovery - ever type something into a form, hit submit, and get a java error? You go back to resubmit but your huge paragraph on the pro's and con's of naked women in gaming is Gone! Never again with Lazarus Form Recovery. Right click in the box, select Lazarus, and then select your text. Bingo, it's back. Help me every day when I make posts for the site.
3. Download Status Bar - I hate the way Firefox handles downloads. They bring up that damn window. This app gets rid of it and puts your downloads in a tiny toolbar at the bottom of the firefox screen.
4. Forecastfox - weather app at the bottom of the screen. Small and unobtrusive.
5. FoxTab - adds a 3d viewer for your tabs.
6. FireShot - takes a screenshot of the page you are on and even uploads it for free to a website. A lot of the images you see on the front page of gamersthrone.com are from using that. Very valuable tool for free.
7. SmarterFox - I'm still playing around with this but it's kinda neat. You can highlight anything anywhere and a little bubble pops up with youtube, wiki, google, and a couple others you can pick and it searches for that text. It's pretty useful when you don't feel like copy and pasting it to another tab.

Ok, your turn guys...

Cool thread, and what a nice image that is! I wish she was a Firefox add-on because I would install her in a heartbeat.

Anyways, I'm going to try that FireShot add-on. In addition to your list VA1N, I also recommend:

1. AddThis - AddThis for Firefox is the best add-on to make sharing and bookmarking simple. Have all your favorite web 2.0 social networking, bookmarking, blogging, and e-mail services at your fingertips. Share any page, anytime, with anyone.
2. Alexa Sparky - Get Alexa data in your statusbar!

Something that I've been looking for is a way to use Alt+Tab to switch between Firefox tabs instead of actual windows! Anyone know one?

lol, I can't use that. My company makes the ad's that adblock is trying to block. And looking at ad's is kind of a hobby for me. I like to see the different types. I know, I'm weird, but when you work with ad's, they take an appreciation all on their on.
