I added Rotate Image and Save File To. Save File To is the add-on I've been looking for for a long time. It's a pain to have to navigate to a different directory every time i want to save a file. Not sure how popular these are, but here are some add-ons i would never go without Image Zoom: Adds zoom functionality to firefox Download Statusbar: Removes the pop-up download window and moves the downloads to a slim stausbar Menu Editor: allows you to change what shows in the right-click context menu and the other menu's in firefox (great for those who have a lot of extensions) Pretty good list.

I also love the fact that your Google adsense is advertising "Fixes for Internet Explorer" and "get Enhanced Security features with the new IE 7" I wonder if that downloads Firefox instead of IE. Ha Ha. Great tips!

Because if that's the case, I'm using an add-on called "Split Browser" https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4287 which does exactly that. You can compare two tabs side-by-side or up-and-down (is this the right way of saying it?) and I think you can actually compare more than two tabs in one go, but I've never needed to use it myself. I found out about the add-on through Ghacks as well. This is the link to the original GHacks article: http://www.ghacks.net/2007/03/18/display-websites-next-to-each-other-in-firefox/ @Bruno: Do you mean comparing two tabs side-by-side?

Why it's only possible to display a single tab ? :/ for example, it would be useful to compare 2 hardware's specification. (sorry for my english level) thx, I add Check All,
