Fasterfox, Adblock Plus, Download manager tweak and Tab mix plus is great set for me ;]

Although this seems kind of lame, I really am a fan of "Copy Plain Text" simply because it is useful especially when you have to copy sourcecode from the internet and don't want the formatting that typically comes with it.

am using firfox . firefox dont load update pages . it usually shows pages from history cache , what is wrong with my settings . please tell me

I use a theme black theme for my firefox it's called blueshift. Black and neon blue just as i like it. looks great with my computer who got neon blue light

i use adblock for removing annoying commercial and ads
and VideoDownloader for downloading interesting videos on YouTube and sites like that.
And finaly im using HTRACK plugin to download sites who i think have a nice design or a good feature that i can get inspired by for making new sites

I have quite a few extensions on my firefox. Multiple proxy managers, adblock of course, a user agent switcher, flashgot (really good), tab mix plus (tab manager, also really good), and a sessions manager which I HIGHLY recommend. You can save all your open tabs so next time you open your browser you can start from where ever you left off, really awsome.

Definately have to be stumbleupon.com and noscript. Thats bout it.

I use FF addons as follow:

1. Adblock
2. Adblock G filter set
3. Greasemonkey
4. 1FirstClick weater
5. Performancing
6. Gmail Space
7. IPinfo

and more....

Well, that quiet 'big' number of extension. Did you experience that these extensions have destabilise your firefox? I use plenty of them, definitely fewer than yours, however, I found it has made my firefox crashes (1.5). I've installed firefox 2 RC2 to avoid further crash...

yes it's stable, otherwise i wouldn't have added them on.
Most of them are small utilities, like the timer, which basically is a small icon on the status bar that tells me how long (or rather how VERY long) i have used the browser and need to stop and turn to something else

by the way, does anybody know how to disable the live bookmarks and make them NOT update at start-up? (I tried the mozillazine and other places but found nothing - maybe better luck here )

I only use DownThemAll, an extention that is both a download accelerator as well as a tool to download all the links/images or whatever on a page. I mainly utilize it as a download accelerator, so I can max my downstream when downloading large files.

I've heard that a lot of people use it to download all the images in a 4chan thread, but I've never done that since I don't visit 4chan ;p. I do know that it's helpful when downloading a free MP3 album online. I can just tell it to download all the MP3s linked on the page and away it goes! If you've customized DownThemAll to download certain content on a page, you can just right click and press dTa One Click to automatically download that specified content on the current page. Very useful.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned it so far.
