| - | There are the FireFox Extensions that I have loaded at all times because they rock and everybody should have them. They are in no particular order.
| + | How to get my FireFox extensions collection: |
| | | | |
| - | I started this page before I was aware of [[Wikipedia:List of Firefox extensions]].
| + | # Download FireFox [http://www.mozilla.com/ here] or alternately get [http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable FireFox Portable]. |
| - | | + | # Get [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/pages/collector Addon Collector]. |
| - | == THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT ONE ==
| + | # Get [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/89648 Massive Extender]. |
| - | *'''[http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/xpi/current/flashplayer-win.xpi Flash]'''
| + | # Subscribe here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collection/nerd42 |

| + | |
| - | *[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/220 FlashGot] will allow you to download RealPlayer files. See [http://swen.antville.org/stories/735413/ this guide] on how to convert from there. I, personally, use dbPowerAMP music converter after FlashGot.
| + | |
| - | *[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8207 Open In Broswer] - let you open any type of file as a text file in FireFox
| + | |
| - | *[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2351 Toggle Word Wrap] - excellent for viewing plain text files that don't have line breaks in FireFox - it puts you in control of word wrap like in text editors.
| + | |
| - | *[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2062 Tab to Window] - lets you turn tabs into new windows without copying and pasting the URL. Unfortunately, it does appear to be reloading the page when it ought to just "pop out" the already loaded page.
| + | |
| - | *[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60 Web Developer] - does alot of web developer stuff including, for those of us with the newfangled wide flatscreen monitors, resizing windows to show what pages would look like on 800x600 screens.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | There are probably others that are worth getting too and if you know of any good ones (not crappy ones - good ones) then post on the [[Talk:Firefox Extensions]] page.

| - | | + | |

| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | == Compatibility Problems ==
| + | |
| - | *[http://spiderzilla.mozdev.org/ SpiderZilla] used to be on this list because it is a totally awesome tool but it needs to be fixed for compatibility with FireFox 3.
| + | |
| - | === Tab managing extensions ===
| + | |
| - | You can install one of these but not both.
| + | |
| - | *[http://tmp.garyr.net/ Tab Mix Plus] - gives you status bars on your tabs for how far your pages have loaded.
| + | |
| - | *[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2062 Tab To Window] - gives you the option to reload tabs in new windows from the right-click menu.

| + | |
| - | *Add an option to the menu that appears when you right-click on tabs that will change the tab into a new window without reloading the page. ([https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2062 Tab to Window] reloads the page)
