Firefox addon's?

[kscwgirl]

Okay you firefox girlies out there.. educate me!! I've got morning coffee... what else do I need????

[Angie4b1g]

Colorful Tabs!!!

[EveRecinella]

Ad block plus and I LOVE COOL IRIS, oh and recover session is a must (I think that is what it is called), I also like permanent tab and the "undo closed tab" for when I accidently close a tab! lol

[EveRecinella]

Oh and there is a Kaboodle add on that puts the buttons right in your tool bar...that is cool...

[tuneskids]

I have my facebook toolbar (cause it is my second obsession), Kodak Companion (so I can share photos with the extended family), Adblock Plus, and Kaboodle (so I can easily Kaboodle my fave stuff! One click!!).

I am also cheezy, I have the PimpZilla theme, cause I think it's HOT. lmao Seriously, I hate boring and the norm. hehee

[ditzyscrap]

I've got lots, but the ones I use most often are:

Adblock Plus (love this...cause it totally speeds up some sites where the ads load sooooo slooooow)
Image Zoom (great for when an image is HUGe and you want to see the whole thing in your window instead of having to scroll around)
Minimize To Tray (I use this one ALL THE TIME...I can close my window but it just puts it in the task bar thingie on the bottom right of the screen, so I can reopen it and have all my tabs open still)
FoxyTunes (this one is cool...so I can see what song I'm listening to on iTunes while still in my browser - now if only I could get iTunes to minimize to my tray instead of leaving a task bar, I'd be happy)
IE View (for those times when a site/page doesn't work in Firefox)
Session Saver (another big one for me - if I don't close my window completely after it's in my tray, and restart, it will automatically ask me if I want to reopen the tabs I had open before I restarted...it also works wonders in a crash)
Kaboodle (quick way to add things to Kaboodle, just by right-clicking)

I've got a few others in there...ColorZilla, Web Developer, PDF Download (since Firefox sometimes has issues with PDF's...depending on your internet speed)...I love me some add-ons, lol!

[twentytinytoes]

I have kaboodle, and web mail notifier, I LOVE that one!

[kscwgirl]

Okay.... I'm looking in the addons and not seeing these things..... what am I doing wrong? LOL

I found Ad block plus......

[meems]

oooh image zoom sounds cool.

I have Colorzilla and MeasureIt, plus Ad Block plus, Morning Coffee, Kaboodle.

[LeeAndra]

I'm addicted to the Facebook add-on. A little window will pop up at the bottom of your screen everytime one of your friends changes his/her status, adds a photo album, leaves a comment on your wall, etc. I'm plugged into FB 24/7. :)

[SamaraGugler]

Let's see....

Pimpzilla theme
Pink Paula theme
Colorzilla (allows you to sample color from pages)
Fox Clocks (allows multiple cities)
Kaboodle
Permatabs
Cooliris

Looks like with all the other great suggestions that I'm off to add more!

did you try doing a search (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/)on the add on page?

[kscwgirl]

um. no. But I am now!!! Mimi saves the day.....

[mrsmbm]

I'm kinda nerdy, but I have the equake add on. It shakes my browser to the magnitude of the quake and let's me know where it was. I used to live in SoCal and earthquakes are like watching a train wreck...I don't want to see, but I can't stop looking away, kwim?

[tcscrapper]

I use...

Boost Toolbar (for Facebook)-- it ROCKS!
ColorTabs-- great for ID'ing the tabs
Download Statusbar-- let's me know at the bottom of my page what I am downloading and it's progress... a LOT better than another page to look at!!
Kaboodle-- I couldn't LIVE without this one!
PermaTabs-- Keeps certain tabs around for EVERYtime I load up Firefox... I keep all the BIG places that I visit on PermaTab and I never have to look it up... they are just THERE!!
SaveSession-- I HAVE to have this in case I accidentally shut it down and forget to close out or bookmark a page!

HTH!!

[lauren grier]

I use the scribblies plain theme (haha cause I'm FIVE :D :D ) I have colour tabs, and.. .uh.. kaboodle.. I think that's it really lol. I'm kinda lame when it comes to adding things. I had another toolbar but it annoyed me so I ate it.

I love the notifications! Saves me times during the day when I am online already, but not on FB, by notifying me when someone posts on my wall, posts new photos, updates their status, or sends me an email.
I too am connected 24/7, don't know how I lived without FB for sooooo long!!!

*on a side note, anyone wants to add me, PM me if you want and I'll hook ya up with my name!!*

Thanks gals for some cool new add-on suggestions!!

[Aggie Aviso]

I use Colorful Tabs, Permatabs, Morning Coffee, Clip-It, CoolIris (I love this feature).

[ditzyscrap]

Thanks to your recommendations I also grabbed Morning Coffe (LOVE that concept), Download Status, CoolIris and Converter (wasn't recommended on this thread but I'm ALWAYS trying to figure out some sort of conversion, so that was perfect, lol).

[juliemarie]

Besides some of the ones already mentioned, I use All-in-One gestures & foxmarks bookmark synchronizer (I use 2 computers and want my bookmarks the same on each)

[kscwgirl]

Can someone help my challenged self find the IE Viewer thingy?? I have a site that won't open in FF, and it's irritating the crap out of me. I have searched for it and can't find it......... take pity on me.....

[pbumbaca]

Here you go Sara:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419

[kscwgirl]
