Firefox users: What extensions do you use and what would you rate them?
on: May 29, 2008, 08:04:51 am
Rate using 1-5, 1 being poor (but obviously you use it for some reason, it just bugs you) and 5 being excellent, N/A being not used enough to rate.  You can also include Themes you use if you want, separately, and at the end of your list.

I use:

Adblock Filterset.G Updater (Don't know, is disabled do to an incompatibility that I'm not sure is fixed yet)
Adblock Plus (same as above)
Adblock Plus: Element Hiding Helper (same as above)
Aging Tabs (just got, not sure if I'm keeping it or not)
All-in-One Sidebar (5 stars)
Bookmark Duplicate Detector (5 stars)
Broadband Speed Test and Diagnostics (5 stars, but I haven't used all of its features)
BugMeNot (4 stars, get from www.bugmenot.com )
Cache View (5 stars)
ChatZilla (5 stars)
CLEO (N/A, but it appeared to work well when I did use it)
CookieSafe (5 stars)
DownloadHelper (4 stars)
DownThemAll! (N/A, I use FlashGot + FlashGet)
Email This! Bookmarklet Extension (N/A, maybe used once or twice)
Extended Statusbar (5 stars)
Fasterfox (5 stars)
FEBE (N/A, works when used however)
FireFTP (N/A)
Fission (5 stars)
Flashblock (5 stars)
FlashGot (5 stars)
Forecastfox (4 stars, 5 now that I've disabled the weather alert popups - they slow games down when FF is on and it refreshes, plus if I want to look at the weather I can move my eyes myself, thx.  xD )
Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer (5 stars, awesome - well, sometimes gets a proxy config error now and then, so 4 stars until they fix that)
FoxyTunes (N/A)
Gmail Manager (5 stars)
Go to WindizUpdate (N/A, use IE Tab, works fine with regular Windows update)
Google Advanced Operations Toolbar (N/A, what I've seen is 4 stars)
Google Video Downloader (N/A, use DownloadHelper)
Google Web Accelerator (4 stars, b/c of some sites blocking you if you use it [it has an option for disabling acceleration on sites that you specify])
Google Preview (5 stars)
Html Validator (N/A)
IE Tab (5 stars)
MR Tech Local Install (5 stars)
NoScript (5 stars)
PDF Download (5 stars)
SearchWords (5 stars)
SeoQuake (N/A, seems to be 5 stars if you're into Search Engine Optimization)
ShowIP (5 stars)
Splash (5 stars)
StumbleUpon (5 stars, they also have a version for IE)
Tab Mix Plus (5 stars)
Tabbrowser Preferences (N/A, use Tab Mix Plus, so it's disabled)
Torrent Finder Toolbar (5 stars)
Torrent-Search Toolbar (3 stars)
TorrentBar (4 stars, 5 if there were more torrent sites to choose from)
translator (5 stars)
Update Notifier (5 stars)
User Agent Switcher (5 stars)

Themes:

Aero Fox (N/A, just got)
Aero Silver Fox (N/A, just got)
Bible Fox Blue (N/A, just got)
Black Aqua (2 stars, just got, yuck, prolly getting rid of it)
BloodFire (5 stars, just got)

Adblock Plus (5 stars): Well, ads suck. Especially those that can move and make noises. Adblock takes care of them most conveniently.  Also, the localisations are fun. And I use it to control Javascript on sites (meaning, I have a *.js* rule active, and on trustworthy sites I just create an exception rule).

Forecastfox Enhanced (4 stars): Easy to use, handy (especially when I didn't have an outdoor thermometer). And as I said in the other thread, I've fiddled the radar to show a regularly updated forecast map, which is quite handy.

Occasionally I also use rikaichan, Perapera-kun or some other kanji translator. I can't rate them due to the currently low usage. Though I suppose they're useful for figuring out a few kanji symbols. But for actual translation of text, no-no.

Redshift was a stylish, simple and appealing theme, but since it hasn't been upgraded to support FF3... no themes  :(
