They forgot "Best addon ever". Which would be Firebug.
I can't do without my eBay companion thing, IE Tab, Video Download Helper and All in one sidebar, personally.
adblock plus with this subscription is by far the best

(install this first)
abp://subscribe/?location=http%3A%2F%2Feasylist.adblockplus.org%2Feasyelement%2Beasylist.txt&title=EasyElement%2BEas yList
(restart firefox and click on this link to add the 'blocklist')
stops annoying banners and crappy googleads, makes the internet clean!
I am sure web admins love you!Quote:

I think the situation is similar to pop up blockers that these days most people use. Only the most disreputable websites use popups theses days, and most people would agree that it is fair for users to block them. I think that it is reasonable to block animated flash adverts for similar reasons.
I don't mind seeing other adverts, and will click on them if they are for a product that I am interested it, but I object to them when they become overly distracting, or max out my CPU causing it to become hot and noisy.
Wot no PicLens :surprised:
My thoughts exactly. Flash should only be used for content and only when it needs it (like videos or games).Quote:

Yep. Strangely it's called Undo Closed Tabs. ;)
Cool they have updated that to work with FF3... It didn't work when I tried it when FF3 first came outQuote:

Edit2: w00t the dev build works http://tmp.garyr.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9178
It definitely works. I've got it sitting in my toolbar at the moment. Clicking it makes stuff happen. ;)
Tried the link from what appears to be the author's site? I've never visited that place. Mine is just from the Mozilla Addons pages, as linked previously, but give it a shot.
Definitely doesn't work on my pc... which OS are you using?Quote:

Vista x64. Can't see that that makes a difference saying as Firefox is 32-bit though. See my edit as you were replying.
Best one for me is Foxmarks. It's great to have the same set of bookmarks on my pc at work, my own pc and my wife's laptop.
The latest version of piclens is really unstable for me. keeps freezing. I've disabled it nowQuote:

Piclens is good, but only supports selected popular websites - it would be so much better if it worked on all websites
