I looked at heaps of firefox extensions and tried every single one that sounded interesting to me. Now i present you with the top 10 firefox extensions that every firefox user should have installed and use at all time. I made sure all work with the latest beta as well.
I sorted them alphabetically, they are all useful and don´t deserve to be ranked.
Advanced Search Sidebar: Enjoy searching through multiple search engines with one query, sorting the results and having results conveniently listed in the sidebar again
CustomizeGoogle: Has lots of options on how to improve the Google experience, among others are the ability to remove Google ads, try your search on another search engine, uses Google suggest to suggest words automatically and displays how many results will be shown and many more. A must have for every Google user.
Fasterfox: Performance and network tweaks for Firefox. Fasterfox allows you to tweak many network and rendering settings such as simultaneous connections, pipelining, cache, DNS cache, and initial paint delay. Dynamic speed increases can be obtained with the unique prefetching mechanism, which recycles idle bandwidth by silently loading and caching all of the links on the page you are browsing. A popup blocker for popups initiated by Flash plug-ins is also included
FlashGot: Download one link, selected links or all the links of a page at the maximum speed with a single click, using the most popular external download managers. FlashGot offers also a Build Gallery functionality which helps to synthesize full media galleries in one page, from serial contents previously scattered on several pages, for easy and fast “download all”
GooglePreview: Inserts preview images (thumbnails) of web sites, Amazon products and stock charts into the Google and yahoo.com search results pages.
Added update mechanism for easy updates of future GooglePreview versions and fixed ‘layout of blogsearch.google.com was changed’.
gTranslate: With gTranslate you can translate any text in a webpage just by selecting and right-clicking over it. The extension uses the Google translation services to translate the text.
Linkification: Converts text links into genuine, clickable links
Sage: Sage is a lightweight RSS and Atom feed aggregator extension for Mozilla Firefox. It’s got a lot of what you need and not much of what you don’t.
ScrapBook: ScrapBook is a Firefox extension, which helps you to save Web pages and easily manage collections. Key features are lightness, speed, accuracy and multi-language support. Major features are: Save Web page; Save snippet of Web page; Save Web site; Organize the collection in the same way as Bookmarks tree; Full text search and quick filtering search of the collection; Editing of the collected Web page; Text/HTML edit feature resembling
StumbleUpon: StumbleUpon lets you “channelsurf” the best-reviewed sites on the web. It is a collaborative surfing tool for browsing, reviewing and sharing great sites with like-minded people. This helps you find interesting webpages you wouldn’t think to search for.
