Good god man - I know the title of this article says ‘Firefox’ but the first line mentions ‘Red Panda extensions’ and I thought this was some sort of new GreaseMonkey thing and just spent 10 minutes searching the entire internet trying to find this damn Red Panda extension set……………

OK, so when you stop laughing and can see again, here’s my FIREFOX extensions…..

(I used to have GreaseMonkey and many others but they kept breaking as I upgraded the browser)

ChatZilla
Linkification
ForecastFox
AutoFill
Gmail Delete Button
Gmail Manager
Hit-a-Hint (for mouseless browsing)
Anonymouser
Search Keys (mouseless searching)
SwiftTabs
del.icio.us (just installed this - thanks!)

Correct me if I’m wrong, but that Tab X extension only makes sense on Linux, right? On Windows, you can just middle-click on the tab to close it - it’s only on Linux that it tries to browse to whatever is on the clipboard.

I think I’ll try it on Linux…

EDIT: just installed it. Looks very nice.

My favourite extensions that were not on your list:
Adblock;
Paste&go - makes one-handed www browsing easier;
gmail notifier;
tab x - adds a close button to each tab.

- Flash Block - great against those Flash infested websites
- Web Developer - very good for debbuging and other web developer tasks
- del.ici.ous - …
- SessionSaver - Saves your last browsing session;
- Livelines - Integrates the RSS features of Firefox with other web based RSS readers;
- Restart Firefox - this and Session Saver are a nice workaround against the dreaded Firefox all-your-memory-resources-are-belong-to-us bug;
- WebmailCompose - Very good if you use webmail alot;
- Tab X - Adds a close button to each of the browser tabs;
- Auto Copy - “Copies selected text to clipboard automaticaly. Just like Linux;
- Flashgot - Enables integration with themost popular external download managers for Windows;
- Google Bar for Firefox - Simply the best!;
- PDF Download - View the PDF as .pdf, as HTML or just download it;
- IE View - for those pages that still don’t comply with standards;
- Ad Block - Filters ads from web-pages;
