Firefox addons?
on: November 20, 2009, 09:01:26 AM
Just curious what addons people use. Ive started to notice more ads are slipping through the default firefox security settings and so would like to sort out a pop-up blocker etc. Figured Id ask the tried and trusted tek user base.

Also interested in other addons people use that do something useful that I hadnt thought of, but once I start using cant do without :|

Adblock Plus - the only reason I still use FF over Chrome
British English Dictionary - otherwise I wouldnt be able to spell dictionary :P
Google Gears - for speeding up google wave
Veoh Web Player - Not really out of choice but there were things I wanted to watch on Veoh
YouTube to Mp3 - For the odd random audio thing I want from youtube

I think it was something from a site I was on when firefox restarted, set to pop up on browsing away from the page, before adblock was activated. It was still ironic though :D
