Here’s some of the extensions I use with Firefox that make it much more useful than IE!
Googlebar: Adds a Google Toolbar to the top of the browser, Just as featurefull (and then some!) compared to Google’s own toolbar.
Bloglines Toolkit: Adds a small notifier that tells you if you have new Bloglines subscriptions available.
del.icio.us: If you don’t already use del.icio.us, read some of my previous postings about it. This makes browser bookmarking a dream!
BugMeNot: Tired of being prompted to create a login for a web page, just to read one article? Join several others that create “fake” logins and pool them into this resource. No more registering as Amanda Huginkiss who lives at 123 Main Street!
BetterSearch: This improves search pages on Google, del.icio.us, Amazon, etc. by adding thumbnail previews, site info and a bunch of other features to your search results.
Foxylicious: An even better way to sync your bookmarks with del.icio.us than the way I described here.
LiveLines: Adds a notification icon to the bottom of your browser window when a site has an RSS feed. You can configure it to subscribe to the feed via Bloglines.
miniT: Adds better tab functionality such as rearranging them via drag and drop and opening new tab windows after the current window instead of the end of the tab list.
GreaseMonkey: A fairly new extension, this one lets you add scripts to web pages that enhance their functionality. For instance, I use these scripts:
Book Burro: Adds a drop down menu on Amazon’s web pages that compares prices of the book you’re viewing at Borders, Powell’s and several other book stores.
RSS AdFilter: Filters out the ads you’re starting to see in RSS and Atom feeds.
And there’s a bunch more available.
