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)
