Single Window - New links that would normally open in a new window open in a new tab instead.
Gmail Notifier - Tell you when you have new Gmail messsages.
Copy Image (don't know URL) - Allows you to copy an image to your clipboard (like in paint), from the right click menu.

More to come as I find more.
 
Oh Pul-eze. Gogf, you're a big fan of FF, and you only list two extensions? Even though I hate using FF (although I'll use it over IE), I've downloaded and know a helluva lot more (and better) extensions than the two listed:

  1. AdBlock - Filters out ads, one of the best extensions EVER. And still rules (even though I use Ad Muncher)
  2. Firesomething - Change the name of FF with a variety of funny names. (I've used this to erase the name of FF and replace it with the much better FB name)
  3. Flash Block - Kills Flash objects; must click on it for it to run (good killer in stopping a new breed of ads - Flash ads)
  4. IE View - Annoying pages that won't open in FF? Open them in IE with one single click.
  5. Linkification - Makes all text links into real links, even mailto links (looks odd if you're viewing mail and you see an email link)
  6. Popup Count - Count the number of popups FF has blocked.
  7. Search Plugins - Add more than just the Google search engine in with these plug-ins. (Although Opera's search.ini is MUCH easier)
  8. Tabbrowser Extensions - Kiiller extension that adds a whole new level of tab customization to FF.
  9. User Agent Switcher - Switch user agents with a mouse click. (Although that really shouldn't be a problem in FF, since pages don't sniff out FF)

Tabbrowser Extensions, by the way, probably blows Single Window out of the water.

Edit: Copy Image

On another note, why does the FF extensions page load so buggy in Opera? :mad: Opera's homepage loads just fine in FF, while loading FF extensions page in Opera is really screwy.

Gogf, Single Window didn't work for me. I have no idea why, I have 0.9 Firefox.

Use Tabbrowser Extensions, look at #8
 
only one i've used thus far is the one that notifies you of multiple tabs when you go to close a window. (Tabwarning).

i'll get others, like the gmail one, when i update to 1.0
 
Oh, and does anyone know how to use Adblock right? I blocked the one at the top of the page, but on other websites I don't want to have to individually block every ad. So is there a filter you can import or something to block ads and banners?
 
nice extensions, where did you find these the firefox website?

how come adobe acrobat plugins don't work on firefox?
 
i already have a search field, don't need a search bar too.
 
Web Developer - if you write web pages

BBCode - posting on forums such as this one

Image Zoom - self-explanatory

Copy Plain Text - aplications sometimes just don't understand that you simply want text to be copied; in that case this saves a intermediate copy/paste at a basic text editor

Target Alert - i hate clicking onto acrobat documents

DictionarySearch - self explanatory

Bandwidth Tester - if you run around witha laptop

Download them All - nice little download utility

CuteMenus - but the menus are so ... cute

All-in-One Gestures - ultimate in laziness

IEView - opens stuff in ie
