Mozilla Firefox extensions

Nowadays the browser extensions shape our browsing experience. Here is a list of extensions I use in Mozilla Firefox.

I have also made public the list of my favorite addons on the Mozilla website.

• Firebug – The best thing for web development, irreplaceable really.
• Feedly – My favorite RSS reader and sharing toolbox. If you don’t use it, give it a go – I am still amazed.
• Readability – Convert the page to a more readable format and save to read later (on other devices as well). Good stuff.
• Firegestures – Execute browser commands using mouse gestures for faster browsing.
• AdBlock Plus – No annoying banners and ads, just content.
• Awesome Screenshot – Capture and Annotate – The name pretty much explains it all.
• HTML Validator – Run HTML / XHTML validation in the browser.
• Firecookie – Nice extension to Firebug dealing with cookies.
• YSlow – Firebug extension by Yahoo team with page loading performance analysis.
• ColorZilla – Color picker, palette generator etc.
• QuickJava – The name is a bit misleading, it provides status bar buttons to easily enable / disable JavaScript, Java, Flash, SilverLight, Images and CSS Styles.
• IE View – Just one click to view the same URL in IE.

Obsolete

Some extensions have become obsolete or I have started using another instead, but that doesn’t mean they are not awesome anymore. :)

• Ubiquity – Task-centric web browsing, awesome stuff, too bad that it’s not in development anymore.
• XMarks – Bookmarks synchronization – not required anymore if you use only Firefox, but can synch across browsers.
• Screengrab! – Save the page as image.
