Firefox essential extensions
by Frank Spychalski filed under Computer

sorted by perceived usefulness

  • Adblock
    no-brainer
  • Webdeveloper
    easy access to a lot of useful things like CSS, validation etc.
  • Cookiebutton
    very easy way to lookup and change cookie permissions
  • Colorful Tabs
    makes it easier to keep track of multiple tabs
  • Firebug
    integrated DOM Inspector and Javascript Console
  • Selenium IDE
    record macros in Firefox, not working 100% :-(

Did I forget anything essential?

Update:

Thanks, yes I did forget Live Http Headers. Form History Manager seems useful, too.

I forgot All Customized Links, too. This extension allows you to add custom links to the context menu. I use it for some bookmarklets so I don’t have to move to the top of the browser all the time to click them…

    Configuration Mania was rather useful, but doesn’t seem to be available any more.

    DictionarySearch - highlight a word to look it up in an online dictionary

    Live Http Headers - mostly for web developers to check what http requests are sent.

    Form History Manager - useful to clear stored information for single forms or fields
