[FM Discuss] Favourite firefox Add Ons?

[Tomi Toivio]

Ghostery is a nice privacy plugin, also shows nicely which trackers it is
blocking, which can be a revelation, since some sites have 30 or more.

And recommend using DuckDuckGo in the search bar? :)

The point is to have less extensions if possible. Because extensions might
slow down the browser. Might conflict with other extensions. Meaning more
extensions more chances to get one. Also, being developed by third parties,
it's not excluded they can rat on you. Some do it for a small profit. Some
do it out of curiosity. Most aren't even aware. So flagfox is cute, but not
so important. Google related stuff are dangerous both for bypassing
censorship and personal security. Better privacy can be dumped once flash
is uninstalled from a system. Also foxyproxy should be there only if one
has a particular need to use it and change among more proxies during a
single session.

You forgot CookieCuller.

Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus and Adblock Plus Pop-up Add-on. The
whole list of Ad-block are for people who don't care about their anonymity.
Also, if you like FlagFox in it's useless cuteness, you might need
IdentFavIcon too for the sites where the webmaster doesn't care about that
icon.

And RequestPolicy. But that's also for people who are less concerned with
anonymity. It's not so easy to work with it. It's functionality is already
in a much less friendlier form in NoScript. But it makes pages load faster.
A lot faster.

For offline reading you have MAFF and GrabMyBooks and a couple of PDF
converters.

You need a flash video downloader in case you did the wise thing and erased
Adobe products from your hard drive.

And a download manager. DownThemAll! is quite handy if you don't have an
external app just for that. So is Epubreader if you don't have another
dedicated app.

For article readability there's Tranquility. Because iReader doesn't work
with NoScript. Their bad.

Also Fangs can be an useful app when reading or designing a site. I'm not
sure it works with the latest versions.
