I made a list of some cool Firefox add-ons.

Best Firefox Add-ons

Please list some Firefox add-ons you use. That you find quite cool.

Also try Google's Web Accelerator. My network is quite slow and it saves me up to 2 hours for 24 hours of browsing.

[Rob]

Web Developer Toolbar and Firebug are the two main addons I use. They are perfect for web development debugging.

[BlueDreamer]

Same as RobH but I'll add the HTML validator which I find useful as a source code viewer as well.

[Rob]

Nice find! I'll add that to FF right now.

[ErisDS]

The two things I use in firefox are:

1. The web developers toolbar and
2. the smart digg button (tells you how many diggs what you are viewing has).

I have google notebook installed too but never got the hang of using it to increase productivity (probably should).

However these days I use flock, I like having facebook and feeds auto-integrated. The web developers toolbar works for it, so its just like a more feature rich version of FF!

I use the screengrab add-on. That's a lifesaver for when I'm stealing pictures of people's sites. It doesn't seem to like flash though.

Hurry up and get a mac! Then you can use things like Paparazzi!.

[Ewan Mac]

My favourite is Foxy Tunes. Lets me use winamp without jumping out of the browser or fiddling with shortcut keys... perfect.

why is so good FIRE bUG, i never understood. I used all version of Fire Bug addons but nerver work. Can you post another addon of FF what can show de class and div like web tools on IE?

[sunwukung]

Web Developer Toolbar for FF can do that

[Journey]

My favorite is seopen toolbar which provide useful tools for search engine optimization.

[Mesa]

Firebug
Fireftp
Web Developer
Page Saver (takes screenshot of entire site, not just screen)
PicLens (nice visual "wall" for images)
Google toolbar (if that counts, handy spell check)

Just got that validator, cheers. LOL their page has 3 erors DOH

[studio]

PageSaver I never heard of that. What if the site's height is bigger than the screen? This can come in handy for providing ss of previous projects. Thanks man.

I tried it out, it's an awesome tool that saves me a lot of time. One bad thing is it excludes Flash objects.. ;\

[iFreaker]

i wonder why no one mentioned colorzilla...
it helps out a lot too...

other than that the web developer toolbar and firebug

Colorzilla is great!
Yslow is pretty good too (analyses the load time of your pages , amongst other things).

[TruePresence]

Mesa, Page saver sounds awesome! I have spent so much time taking 2 or 3 screenshots then mashing them together in photoshop.

[Seth]

yea i use colorzilla, webdev toolbar, foxclocks so i know what time it is utc/gmt/zulu. measure it is also very handy. google tool bar is a good oine too. search status is great to see PR and Alexia, yslow is great little app in an app (firebug), twitterfox, screengrab and piclens are also great. you can tell why my FF3 runs slower haha. oh and can't forget about blank canvas for google signatures that's a must. I have others too. but those are the good ones

[Badmotherz]

In addition to Web Developer:

ColorZilla - colour selection/eyedropper tool.
Screengrab - takes lovely screenshots in jpg or png formats and removes the toolbars and chrome.
Measureit - does what it says on the tin.
And a recent find which is turning into a favourite Pencil - diagramming and prototyping tool that sits in FF's native environment. Really useful tool.

[ElanMan]

Thanks to the suggestions above, I've now installed screengrab and its great!
