Cool Firefox plugins

[Kooldino]

Figured I'd start a POSITIVE firefox thread here.

Post your favorite Firefox plugins and/or themes, what they do, and a link.

Here's a good one called IE View:




http://update.mozilla.org/extensions...&id=35&vid=145

Adds "View page in Internet Explorer" links to the content and link context menu. Handy for previewing pages in IE, loading up IE-only pages when you run across them in Mozilla, etc.

Kinda cutesey but cool theme (Noia 2.0 extreme):

Side note: I installed the Dictionary.com search tool recently, but it's not in my drop down search menu, but it is a right click option on words in a web page...

Focus Last Selected Tab 0.6

Brings focus to the last selected tab when closing the active tab (instead of the tab to the left of the one you just closed)

Single Window 1.0

A simple extension that allows Mozilla to fully utilize the built-in tabbed browsing behavior, compatible with Mozilla, Netscape, and Firefox. Singlewindow has only two options: * Single Window Mode -- Traps links that would normally open in a new window
0.9.2+ compatibile

Linky
Nuke Anything
Flash Click To View
WebSpider (think that's the name)

BugMeNot - Great for all those NYTimes etc. articles linked from Slashdot
MozEx - Lets you configure actions for different types of links. Now I can click on ed2k:// links and have them do something useful
RedCats (right-side column) - The theme to use if you're a cat lover, and a really nice theme anyway even if you're not. Shame it doesn't work for SeaMonkey...

The Mozilla Amazon Browser would no doubt be really cool if I did much shopping there.

Edit: Links added as promised, and descriptions too, you lucky people

Sidenote: Radial Gestures sucks.

PrefBar, e.g. for some of those stupid you don't have the correct browser sites....it has also some other nice features

http://prefbar.mozdev.org/

I'm using ist with Mozilla, but Firefox should also work.


Maybe this also works with Firefox...never tested it:
The ability to tweak hidden settings

Yeah, because "Find as you type" is so hard to use.

It's not. But when I have to flip through 10 pages of plugins and use "find as you type" each time for each plugin mentioned it gets tedious. Christ, it's easier for you to paste a link once, knowing exactly where to look, than it is for everyone else to search through 10 pages of stuff individually.

Hmm, I'm not really sure what you're talking about. You don't go here? http://texturizer.net/firefox/extens...ivehttpheaders
