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)
