What are your favorite Firefox Addons?

I was just writing on my main blog about my quest to find an addon for Firefox 3 that will let me open multiple links in new tabs. You know, when you want to visit several sites on a blogroll … it’s nice to be able to open 10 or 20 links in new tabs at once.

I used to have an addon called Linky but that doesn’t work with Firefox 3 so I’m looking for a replacement.

My quest also made me wonder what your favorite Firefox addons are?

I don’t like to use too many addons as I find it slows down my browser, but there are a few that I really like to use:

Twitterfox – allows you to see new tweets in a browser popup.

Stumbleupon – the Stumbleupon toolbar. I only enable it when I want to stumble.

SEO for firefox

SearchStatus – displays the Google pagerank, Alexa and Compete ranks of sites being viewed.

Google toolbar

Google Gears – helps pages load faster

Entrecard toolbar- makes it much easier to view Entrecard sites

Adsense notifier – allows you to see your Adsense totals in the status area or top of your browser.

So what Firefox addons do you like to use?

   I just started using the Fireshot for screen capture. Once I switched over to Firefox I found that my F11 no longer worked & print screen couldn’t get it all…this tool is wonderful. i can even edit it right then &there.

   Some of the great addons I use:

   ScrapBook- excellent to bookmark, highlight, comment and save bookmarks for offline use as well.
   DeeperWeb For Google -the best (not just because it’s mine Top navigation tools, mapped information, sidebar with access
   to results such as answers, news, Wikipedia, videos, podcasts, slides, articles, experts… if you search on Google don’t miss this addon.
   OutWit- harvest the web. Transforms any page to excel file with all links++
   Cooliris- allows viewing webpage “behind” the link without leaving the present web page.
   FoxTab- very sexy and helpful –good for people that work with gazillion opened tabs and can use some visuals to get around

   These and other addons are the reason I use Firefox. It makes surfing so much more fun and productive.
