Which Firefox addons do you install?

Hi,

I use Firefox as my primary browser. I use Chromium too only because I have two Facebook profiles. The Firefox addons that I use are:
  • NoScript
  • Bluhell Firewall
  • HTTPS Everywhere
  • Web of Trust
  • NetVideoHunter

I use Bluhell Firewall in place of Adblock Plus because Adblock Plus makes Firefox run quite slowly. I've got only 2 GB of memory installed.

Which Firefox addons do you install?
 
  • Thanks

I generally just disable Javascript. This gets rid of most of the invasive adverts. I also don't value anything that requires Javascript to work so I had nothing to lose ;)

  • Add to search bar
  • Flagfox
  • Server spy

Junk is filtered by DNS, firewalls and scripts on a FreeBSD server (still 9.2, I'm not ready to install BIND + 10.0 upgrading from 9.2).

Re: Which Firefox addons do you install ?

I myself use Seamonkey (find it in the ports tree: www/seamonkey. I switched after Opera hit v15, as Seamonkey is quite close in philosophy to Opera), which is similar to Firefox in that it too uses the Gecko engine, and thus has cross-support with many Firefox addons.

The addons I use with Seamonkey, all of which are available on Firefox too, include:

  • Adblock Plus
  • ChatZilla
  • ColorfulTabs
  • DOM Inspector
  • DownThemAll! Download Manager
  • Javascript Debugger
  • NoScript!
  • Private Tab
  • Scriptish
  • User Agent Switcher
  • SecureLogin
  • and finally, Ghostery.

Since switching from Opera to Firefox when the former dropped Presto, I've been using the following addons:
  • Adblock Plus
  • Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon
  • NoScript
  • Ghostery
  • Dictionary Switcher (ergo: there's no excuse for not using a spell checker on forums ;) :pP)
  • Flash and Video Download
  • New Tab Homepage
  • Toggle Proxy (which effectively turns Tor on or off)
And I wish there was an addon that does tab stacking like Opera.
 
These:
Code:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/tineye-reverse-image-search/
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/epubreader/

And these settings in the about:config page:
Code:
browser.tabs.animate = FALSE
geo.enabled = FALSE
security.tls.version.max = 3
security.ssl3.rsa_fips_des_ede3_sha = FALSE
gfx.xrender.enabled = FALSE

And start Firefox with this in env(1):
Code:
export MOZ_DISABLE_IMAGE_OPTIMIZE=1

@vermaden, how did you get your list like that? I don't think Extension List Dumper does that.
My previous post is just a contents of a file opera-firefox-migration.txt I created after I realized Opera is dead ;)

I just gathered links and settings for Firefox to make it a little less of a PITA.

Android lacks a lot of addons and UI features from Desktop e.g., scroll position restore, undo closed tab, clear private data for a period of time.
  • Adblock Plus
  • HTTPS-Everywhere
  • Mobile Image Blocker
  • Tap Translate
Desktop mostly accumulated stuff over the years of browsing prn. It takes a toll on memory when the number of tabs goes above 200 as UnloadTab addon isn't very effective unlike plain restart. Bookmark All Tabs, to be a replacement for idle tabs, needs an ability to save history and scroll position for each link.
  • about:sessionstore
  • Adblock Plus
  • BitTorrent WebUI+
  • Bloody Vikings!
  • BugzillaJS
