My 10 favourite Firefox extensions

Ok, I’ve tried to steer clear of these kinds of posts, purely because to me, they seem like the most boring thing to write about. Ever.

With that said however, it’s somewhat a rite-of-passage that blog writers do (top ten lists – and especially with this as the subject matter), and since I just trawled through my favourites (again) for my “essential addons” for my new installation of Firefox 3.5 RC3, I thought I’d accumulate them all in one post so next time Mozilla make a ridiculously late release of their milestoned browser, I can just rattle them off from one page here.

So, here we go (in order of installation preference):

  1. XMarks (previously Foxmarks)
  2. TabMixPlus (dev-build)
  3. Adblock Plus
  4. Flashblock
  5. Twitterfox
  6. AutoAuth
  7. Web Developer
  8. Firebug
  9. TinyMenu (great for netbooks with limited screen res [Win only])
  10. Personas (I use Tranquility)
