With Firefox 2 packing many new features already, I've had to adjust my list to better represent the updates I want. The add-ons listed here will block ads, download videos, notify you when you have mail, or just help you make web pages. Each add-on listed below is an excellent addition to the browser in its own way.
Full list: Post the guide, not the link.

A few that I use in FF are -
Search and Go - useful for copying and pasting web addresses Gmail Space - which lets you use Gmail for storage FoxClocks - timezones around the world Cheers Riscy |

My recommendations: IE Tab (for pages that will not work in FF, such as those that use activeX. It is faster than opening IE) PDF Download (lets you choose whether to download or open pdf files which you stumble upon on the net) Customize Google FlashGot (for large downloads if you have a download manager) This post has been edited by Chad: Oct 15 2006, 20:28 |

Come on guys, try and keep this on topic. It's about Firefox add ons, not about what browser is best and who said what.
I'd add All In One sidebar to that list, it's great even if you don't use the sidebar since you can have a toolbar under the tabs or pretty much anywhere else. |

Ok guys, the thread is obviously about Firefox 2 and it's add-ons. Keep the 'get opera' trolling out.

I definitely agree with installing Adblock Plus, DownThemAll!, and Video Downloader.
