I have just recently installed Firefox on my desktop and laptop and I need to spiffy it up a bit. I have imported my bookmarks and have added Kaboodle, but I know there is a TON more coolio things that I just must have.

Show me your fav addons!

Hugs,

My favorite is Pimpzilla. I use it at home for my 'theme' but there are so many themes you can definitely find one that suits you if you aren't into Bling! ;)

I also love the 'ie tab' option!
 
OK, you asked for it...

AdBlock Plus - blocks ads...I use this one to make DST faster for when I have to go there. :)

ColorZilla - color picker in your browser

Download Statusbar - all my downloads show up at the bottom of my screen instead of in a new window - love this one!

Fast Dial - when you open a new tab, this comes up and you program it to have all your favorite sites in it, so they're all just one click away! Awesome, awesome, awesome. I use this 100% of the time...they did an update the other day that caused it to not work and I was lost, lol. It's been fixed, though. :)

FireFTP - free FTP program inside my browser - again, love it, use it all the time.

Flashblock - blocks flash from playing unless you tell it to play - sooo nice to not see those annoying flash ads anymore!

FoxyTunes - allows me to control my iTunes (also works with TONS of other media players) from within Firefox, and also shows me title/artist of the song playing

IE Tab - opens a tab that "reads" like IE

ReminderFox - a calendar/to-do list feature that allows you to put in things you need to do by certain dates and mark them as finished - use this one ALL the time as well

Tab Preview - gives you a preview of the page you're on when you hover over the tabs you have open...so if I am here at SSD, and have gmail and my ct board open, I can hover over either tab to see what's going on there without ever leaving SSD's tab.

Undo Closed Tabs Button - allows you to reopen a tab you accidentally closed without having to go up into your history, etc. I'm really bad for closing things without thinking and then having to find it again, lol - this saves me a lot of trouble.
 
All in one gestures - allows you to open new tabs, go back & forward etc. by holding down the right mouse button, and going up, down, left, right etc.

Foxmarks - backs up your bookmarks. You can also synchronize them to another computer, or access them from another computer.
 
The download status bar is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. Now I know which folders I have unzipped and dealt with and which ones I haven't. Love it.
 
I have Morning Coffee, too...but I don't use it anymore. Since I found Fast Dial, it's not such a chore to open all my regular sites, lol!
