| - | 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]'''
| + | # Restart FireFox to make sure the above two addons installed correctly. |
| - | | + | # 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/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 use 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.
| + | |
| - | I'd like to see someone combine the two and modify the Tab To Window function so that it can pop out a tab into a new window without reloading the page.
