I have to say I don't actually like Firefox, but I use it for web development. Why? Because of the plugins. Web Developer http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/ Full of useful bits and bobs, including resizing the window to fit various screen sizes. ScribeFire http://www.scribefire.com/ A free (for now) blogging plugin. Much more useful and powerful than fighting my way through the Blogger interface. Now, if either of those was available for Safari, I'd not be using Firefox at all. I certainly don't use FF for day-to-day browsing. |

No script https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722 Allows you to control scripts on a site by site basis. I wouldn't browse without it. |

Xmarks - synchronises bookmarks across all of your browsers and PC's - I've got a Desktop and a laptop - the laptop runs Ubuntu and the desktop dual-boots Vista and Ubuntu. I also use Flock on both as well as Vanilla firefox, so this keeps my bookmarks up to date. Adblock Plus, of course I'm also quite fond of Stumbleupon. It's great for visiting sites you wouldn't normally see. |

FlashBlock It blocks flash video and images from running. Instead you get a play button you have to click on to view the flash content. Download Helper Can download YouTube videos and the like. Download Them All Download Manager The other ones I use are already mentioned by other posters. |
