I used to be a big fan of Firefox, but sometimes too much customisation can be a bad thing. I’ve just started a forum thread to see what other extensions other readers are using, but I’m interested to know which Firefox Extension(s) you couldn’t live without and why.

I tend to use IE7 and Firefox 50:50 at the moment and I’m using the following Firefox Extensions:

• Add Bookmark here
• Adsense Notifier
• Colorful Tabs
• Colorzilla
• Download Statusbar
• fasterfox
• Google Browser Sync
• Google Pagerank status
• Image Zoom
• StumbleUpon
• Tab Mix Plus

   I could live without all customizations, but I do like having my delicious tagging buttons, a Hebrew calendar along the bottom, time from around the world, Google preview, and a theme with a color scheme that is easy on my eyes. The one thing I would hate giving up, though, is the color picker. It’s been great help when I redesign my blogs.

   If you don’t mind my saying, you’ve got way too much on this page, making for small type that’s hard for me to read, plus it was hard to find the actual post on the page.

   wow I haven’t even heard of most of those. I’m going to do a quick spotcheck to see if I should install some of them

   I’ve got about 8 extensions installed, but the two I couldn’t live without are:
   Bookmark Tags: Cleanly adds anti-social tagging capabilities to the existing firefox bookmark system.
   Flashblock: You have to click Flash objects to enable them.

   Ditto the signature addon, however it’s not compatible with FF3. Anyone know an alternative?
