I felt a certain need to publish something, and something that my be remotely useful to someone. So here is a list of Firefox extensions that I find somewhat necessary for living.

Mozilla’s extensive collection of addons is the main reason why I haven’t been able to swap over to Google’s Chrome browser.

Adblock Plus

Starting with the basics. Every intermediate web user (or everyone that is registered at digg.com) already uses this plugin, and for good reason. The web seems a lot prettier with this plugin enabled. I myself am a web publisher, but rely very little on ads, so if I were relying on revenue from ads I may feel a bit differently about this.

For now, I’m a supporter.

Alexa Sparky

I don’t use this for the accurate traffic rankings. I just use this in hopes that it might influence my ranking even just a little bit

ColorZilla

I’ve only just installed this one, but looking forward to using it. So far it seems to work quite well.

Delicious Bookmarks

A necessity to my survival. It has never failed me either.

Digg Toolbar

I keep this hidden, so I’m not sure why I actually have it installed.

Firebug

I haven’t used this one yet, but once I start coding I know it’s going to be helpful.

Gmail Manager

This one is great because it works for Google Apps accounts as well!

Google Toolbar

I keep this one hidden, so I’m not sure if it’s doing me any good.

Personas

Since I found this addon I haven’t been able to let go of it. I even make some of my own.

QuickNote

I needed a note-taking addon for Firefox, so I found this one. I’m not completely convinced of it’s note-taking abilities, so I’m still looking.

Screengrab

As a wannabe designer-of-sorts I find this addon a necessity. Absolutely brilliant plugin that has never failed me.

SearchStatus

I use this to show Google PageRank and Compete Rank discreetly in the bottom corner of Firefox. This plugin hasn’t failed me yet.

TwitterFox

A necessity for a Twitter addict that happens to be a Firefox user. Love this plugin, although it could do with some extra features (retweeting for example). To be quite honest, the whole thing could do with a facelift to keep up with other applications, but it does work considerably well.

vi.sualize.us

Vi.sualize.us is a great site for image bookmarking that I’ve been using for a while (not enough as of recent however). Are you into photo bookmarking? Then vi.sualize.us is a good choice.

Web Developer

Again, I don’t use this plugin yet but I have it installed anyway. Hopefully when I get into coding websites I will be able to put this addon to good use.

And that seems to be all for now.
