I actually had a request for a post on my firefox configuration. Here it is:
EXTENSIONS:
-Blank Canvas Gmail Signatures : used to make a cool custom HTML signature in gmail
-Bookmark Previews : I have it disabled right now, but it lets you view a screenshot of every bookmark you have.
-Download Statusbar : Basically moves the download window to a bar at the bottom of the screen.
-DownloadHelper : Lets you download videos from tons of sites.
-dragdropupload : Lets you just drag and drop files from your computer into upload forms. Saves a lot of time.
-FireGPG : Simple interface for using PGP encryption in gmail
-Fission : Makes the page download status bar go from the bottom of the screen to inside the address bar, like in Safari.
-Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer : Syncs all of your bookmarks to an external server. Really helpful if you have hundreds of bookmarks like I do and lets you access them from anywhere.
-Gmail Manager : My favorite gmail notifier, it lets you log in to multiple accounts and mouse over to see the first chunk of the email.
-Google Reader Watcher : Checks number of unread feeds in Google Reader.
-LogMeIn Remote Access Plugin : Allows for use of LogMeIn (I'll do another post on that service soon)
-Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant
-NoScript : A great plugin that makes sure you don't get hacked. It doesn't allow a site to execute any scripts unless you let it. For the first week it's kinda annoying, but once you whitelist all of the sites you frequent, it will keep the number of viruses you get really low.
-pageaddict : Used to generate statistics about browsing habits (I like that sort of stuff)
-PDF Download : Before you open a PDF, it asks you what you want to do with it. Reduces browser crashing because of PDFs.
-SQL Inject Me : A hacking extension that trys a bunch of common SQL injection techniques. Good for quick scans. Could be used for evil...
-StumbleUpon : VERY addicting, also great for staying current with internet memes and finding new cool sites. This is why I have 800+ bookmarks.
-Torbutton : comes with Vidalia. Basically allows for anonymous browsing.
-URL Fixer : automatically fixes domain spelling errors like .cmo instead of .com
-User Agent Switcher : Allows you to change the user agent of Firefox.
-WOT : Web Of Trust rates websites as safe or dangerous. When you are going through google results, this keeps you from going to virus ridden sites.
-Greasemonkey : allows you to run javascripts on every page you go to
I did GreaseMonkey last because I wanted to lost the scripts I am running on it. Here they are:
-Disable Text Ads : Does what it says on the box. Disables all google text ads.
-Text Area Backup : ever type out a giant block of text in a form and then lose it all by accidentally moving to another page or closing the tab? This saves it as you go.
-Google ads remover+ : Removes more Google ads.
-Profanity Filter : Parses the text on a page and replaces any red flagged words with whatever you want (default is ***). The only problem with this is that by default it red flags some words like 'nerd' and 'crap', so it needs some tweaking. If I have time I will post my version.
-NoDelay : Removes the counter from sites like RapidShare and MegaUpload. No more waiting for downloads to start.
-YouTube HQ + 702p : automatically shows the high quality version of youtube vidoes and if it is available in 702p, then it shows it in its full resolution.
-Facebook Remove Feed Articles : Removes all of the annoying ads that show up in your facebook feed.
-Googlenlarge : automatically enlarges images in google image search when you mouse over them.
And now, Plugins:
-2007 Microsoft Office system
-DivX Player Player Netscape Plugin
-DivX Web Player
-Foxit Reader Plugin for Mozilla
-Google Talk Plugin
-Google Update
-Java Platform SE 6 U11
-LogMeIn Remote access components
-Microsoft Office Live Plugin
-Move Media Player
-Mozilla Default Plugin
-PhotoSynth
-QuickTime Plugin
-Scorch Plugin : allows you to read sheet music online
-Shockwave Flash
-VLC
Are you sorry you asked?
