Fav Add-ons for Firefox

Here are some of my favorite add-ons for Firefox 3.x, which I am referencing here so I can remember them the next time I install a new user a computer or a whole new operating system.

Scrapbook - Webpage copier for offline viewing (Great for preserving documents to read later)
DownThemall - Download filter and que for all/one tab(s)
Flashblock - Turn off the automatic loading of Flash animations. A play icon appears instead and you have control over activating which animations to play and when. It interfers only when the entire website is Flash-based, which is a stupid approach to web design anyway and the site probably does not deserve to be viewed.
Adblock Plus
Wired Marker - colored marking of web pages, stored in a scrapbook file. You can port this file to another computer for them to share your markups. I have not explored whether you can port individual markups or even certain pages of markups yet.
PermaTabs - Make certain tabs permanent, so when you start Firefox these appear every time. Also, when you use close other tabs permatabs are not closed.
Video Download Helper
Fast Video Download
Firefox Universal Uploader
Media Wrap - transparently wrap ActiveX (test site http://members.aol.com/jrzycrim01/mozilla/wmp/wmpaxtest.html) and it identifies locales such as PL (Poland)
Splash - sound, opacity, CSS customization, custom images, and much more. You can add {appVersion}, {buildID} and {userAgent} to the loading text.
Abduction - Screenshot of a web page or part of a page
Image Tweak - image viewing and resizing
Fox Saver - Firefox turns into a screensaver/photo viewer from any source
YouPlayer - play or download from Google Video, MetaCafe, MySpace and YouTube
Duplicate Tab - clone a tab along with its history
TabX - makes the close 'x' stay always visible
ColorfulTabs
Morning Coffee - load up set sites each morning in your tabs
Tab Renamizer - rename embarrassing tabs
Undo Closed Tabs Button
Remove Tabs - to the left/right of highlighted one
TabAway - double-click to close tab
Multiple Tab Handler - features to handle multiple tabs, especially closing
gui:config - This is an extension for advanced preferences. gui:config makes it easier to change preferences that can only be found in the “about:config”
Tab Sidebar - display previews of your tabs in the sidebar

As you can see, in my opinion Firefox still has a long way to go with prefecting the Tab management features and making it easier for programmers to update their Add-ons to stay compatible with the newest browser. I have lost a few add-ons along the way with the upgrades to Firefox, none of which were integrated into the browser. However, with the upgrade to 3.0x I have lost MANY, though maybe two have been integrated. This is the sad reality of the Mozilla Foundation. I still would never trade it for the slow-changing MSIE or the confusing and difficult interface of Opera. Firefox ROCKS the WEB!
