Favourite Firefox Plugins

I just realised that being big firefox fans we should have a post with our favourite firefox addons and why you should have them.  So here it is, divided up by blogger so you get a different opinion as well as a large number of plugins.

Jon’s recommendations:
Well my first recommended add-on would be

• NoScript, definitely a must have for all firefox users.  However a word of warning it’s a bit of a pain since it blocks all scripts on a page by default, but I like that, I know that all that runs are scripts I trust and know.  It also blocks loads of ads too so it’s a win-win.  Some people don’t like the functionality that it blocks, but that’s because they don’t know how to use it.  If it blocks something you want then unblock that website by clicking on the noscript icon.  SIMPLE.

My next favourite addons would b:

• Foxmarks Bookmark Syncroniser, great for syncronising your firefox bookmarks between machines.  Install the plugin on all your firefox browsers, and set up an account for foxmarks.  Then save the settings to each firefox browser, and sorted, foxmarks will help you sync all your bookmarks up to start with, then keep them up to date whenever it changes, plus now it can also do the same with passwords.  Very handy.
• OpenDownload, I like the run functionality of IE, and now I have it in firefox too, only its a little more flexable too.

Well that’s some of my picks, I will probably add a few more later.
