What Extensions and/or themes are you using regularly?

Myself...

Theme: Mythical Sirens (Yes it's girly but it's very colorful.)

Add-ons:
Adblock(Self explanatory to some degree but you can choose which ads you want to see and which adds you don't. You can also block ads on a webpage entirely.)
All in one gestures (By right clicking and drawing some symbols you can control aspects of web browsing. It's like a DS function for firefox. For example. Drawing a lower case 'h' will send you back to your home page. The functions are completely customizable.)
colorful tabs (Just colors your tabs. I like it for the subtle visual cue so I don't close the wrong tab.)
morning coffee (just downloaded this one. Giving it a trial run. Edit: I like this one. If you have a daily lists of things you check you can put them in this add on by day of the week or everyday and it will open all the sites in tabs for you. I only wish I didn't have to actually open the add on to add the web addresses. Overall, I am pleased.)
pdf download (Gives you the option to download PDFs either in Firefox or with and outside program. I don't look at a lot of PDFs but it takes a while to DL in Firefox so I might keep it as a convenience.)
Session manager (You can save a browsing window with all of it's tabs. I especially loved this in school because if I was drawing up research I could save the session and visit it later without adding all of this webpages to my favorites. I still use it like this.)


Firefox is by far my favorite web browser.

IE Tab is cool for sites that only render in IE.

Likewise, my friend made a cool extension that lets you enqueue mp3 links directly into Winamp. He needs to make a new version though.

Greasemonkey, PennyPacker, and Rikai-chan are the only three extensions I use.

Adblock of some variety. (Used primarily on my naff laptop to kill computer crippling flash adverts)
DownThemAll (useful for leeching embedded files and files en masse)

I think I have something else, but my memory fails me. And I'm not at a machine of my own currently.

Screengrab! 0.93
I don't use it so much recently because I am using Mike's computer (really need to set up my own and start updating yalogank again!) but it's a swell program. It, uh, takes screenshots. When you right click on the mouse, a new option appears on the menu: Screengrab. You browse through the self-explanatory drop down to save (as an image) or copy (to clipboard) the complete page, the visible portion of the page, or a rectangular selection (which you then get a chance to draw) of the page.

Greasemonkey: Allows you to grab the videos from Youtube and save them to your HD if you so wish.

PennyPacker: Built-in extension for commenting/logging Penny-Arcade strips.

Rikai-chan: Hover your mouse over a Japanese kanji and a little english dictionary will pop up.

I don't actually use any add-ons, but maybe I should start.

I don't use many, but some of these look like I might see about getting. Anyway, I use

Deviant Message
I often like to see when people comment, favorite, or note me on DA

Google Toolbar
It's actually kinda nice. It has a tab that lets me search specific sites for stuff. Example: I can put it on Cursed Gaming and search for WoW mods. Though I should note that what you can search is limited. I think the site has to create the extension for said mod for it to work. But it's nice nontheless!

LJ Quote

I don't know why I have it since I've used it all of once.

Where do you guys normally go to search for Firefox mods?

I got the Alt Message thingy from Idran. For the rest, I went to: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... on=firefox

You know... this might just be what would push me from Opera into FireFox...

But I'm still not convinced. Not having to actually go through the ardous task of logging onto DevArt is a plus though... :( Now, does it allow you to browse/edit these comments/deviations/etc. or do you have to go to DevArt to do that?

Not really. It just lets you know if someone has responded to you in any form on DA. Plus lets you know when your DA watch gets updated.
