Differences between revisions 45 and 52 (spanning 7 versions)

One of the reasons I use Mozilla Firefox is its huge universe of extensions, scripts, styles, and other add-ons which can make it behave the way you want it to. I've customized my Firefox installation pretty extensively.

This list is current as of Firefox 14.0.

Extensions

Customization

dotjs
Scriptish, what I've started using as a replacement for Greasemonkey
Stylish and Stylish Sync

Web development

ColorZilla
Firebug
JSONView
Google's Page Speed: I previously used Yahoo's YSlow, but switched because Page Speed is open-source. Functionality is mostly equivalent, and I honestly don't use the extension enough to notice the differences.
Rainbow
Web Developer: has bugs that slows down Firefox significantly when you've a lot of tabs. Disabled, though still useful.

Other stuff

Privacy

Adblock Plus
Flashblock
PrivacyChoice TrackerBlock, which should be installed from PrivacyChoice

UI and Behavior

Aaapptabs: Hide back & forward buttons, URL bars when using App Tabs.
Easy App Tabs
Personal Menu
SPDY Indicator
Tab Badge
Upload Progress
Unhide Passwords

KDE integration add-ons

Oxygen KDE for styling Firefox a little bit better w/ KDE's Oxygen
KDE wallet password integration
xclear adds a clear button to URL and search fields, ala Qt/KDE text fields

Experimental

Suspend background tabs suspends timers, etc in unused background tabs.

Mozilla/Mozilla Labs

Older stuff

Extensions that I don't use anymore.

Autopagerize
BetterPrivacy removes Flash LSOs and other tracking cookies
Grab and Drag: for my tablet PC pipe dream.
Link Widgets
Operator: slow (difficult for an extension to parse DOM for microformats).
Collusion
Facebook Blocker
GrabMyBooks

Adblock Plus

My exceptions:

@@||duckduckgo.com^$document

and:

EasyList
Antisocial
Adversity
