    Question Firefox-what extensions do you use?

    Every time I go to the FireFox extensions page I seem to find sometheing else that's new and cool, so I was wondering...what are everyone's favorite extensions?

    Here's mine (notice they all have something to do with web design...hmmm):

    Web Developer - a webmaster's Swiss Army Knife. I use several tools on this toolbar daily.

    IEView - lets you right click on a page and open it in IE, great for cross-browser testing.

    FireFoxView - the opposite of IEView, open the current page in IE with FireFox.

    JavaScript Debugger - a powerful tool to see how your JavaScript (mis)behaves.

    ColorZilla - adds an eye dropper icon to the status bar. Click it and move the mouse around the screen and this extension reports the color that the mouse is touching (in RGB integers and in hex for using in web pages/css), the current X and Y coordinates for the pixel you're hovering over, and the element that you're inside (tag name and id, if specified).

    MeasureIt - like ColorZilla, this one adds an icon the the status bar. Click the icon and then click two coordinates (top left and bottom right) on the page. The extension will draw a blue rectangle around the area you selected and display width and height of the selection.

    Pong - pointless, but...ah...well...um...

    Going from tablebased design to css-based design last year, Web Developer's "Edit CSS" function has been the single greatest tool for me. Completely invaluable.

    User agent switcher, spell checker, PR checker not the tool bar, and the web developer.

    By far the most used extension for me is Plain Text Links

    I also have:

    ForecastFox (So i can know how nice the weather is I'm missing while Jag has me in my cage)
    Tabbrowser Preferences
    ReloadEvery
    FoxyTunes (gotta keep my tunes at easy access!
    Web Developer
    Google PR status

    Sorry I didn't link them all up but the names are correctly spelled (I think) so you should be able to search for them if you feel so inclined.

    FireTune

    Here's a new one for you: FireTune

    http://www.totalidea.com/freestuff4.htm

    Been using it for about a week, and I could swear it works...

    FireTune for Mozilla Firefox v1.x was developed for an easy and fast optimization of your browsing experience with Firefox. It is based on a collection of popular and well working optimization settings used and tested by the experts. Usually you have to optimize Firefox manually, which can be time consuming and difficult for the novice user. FireTune helps you here - it includes all the performance optimizations. The only thing you must do is: make your selection. FireTune does the work for you.
    If nothing else, it sure speeds up SSL (not enabled by default)...
