SEO quake and Firebug is the best for me. I am an SEO and CMS Editor at the same time so I find this extensions very helpful. Hope Taho Blogs Conducting a Feasibility Study

Nice list, Pearl. Some golden oldies, and plenty of choices which I haven’t dabled with before. I guess I have some good solid geeky browsing ahead.

There go a couple of hours then. ;) Thanks.

oh those are some nice ones.. I’ll definitely check out JsView… have used url fixer and split browser, they are nice. Firefox has us hooked to them now:)

Nice list, Pearl. I use just about all of those. Here are a couple more that I use and really like: Check4Change - lets you highlight text on a website and monitor it for a change in text. When the text changes, you are notified. Great for wanting to be notified when you have received assistance from tech support or a new comment was made. PermaTabs - not yet available for FF3 but I loved it in 2. It lets you lock a tab so you don't accidentally close it. JsView - easily see css and java files as well as the source code. Split Browser - great for splitting a blog article into two windows so when you're commenting you don't have to keep scrolling up to look at the article. Url Fixer - corrects misspellings in address bar (i.e. .cmo is viewed as .com) John Hoff - eVentureBizs last blog post..Adding The “Cool Factor” To Your Website

Hey Bobby.. I know what you mean, on my home computers I still use it for extra protection but on the work pc, it was just a nuisance as it blocked even some of my intranet sections so I had to disable it.

I’ve been generally happy with firefox 3 except I was a bit shocked and am very annoyed that that it set itself as the default browser and I think that was sneaky! I have a few domains that only work on IE but now clicking on those links open Firefox and the sites just hang in there without opening.

I used to use the no script extension, but it became such an aggravation that I uninstalled it. Most of my normal favorite extensions aren’t working for firefox 3 yet, but I’m sure they will soon. I have noticed that firefox is much faster than before!

I’ll try again today.. I think it’s the openid that might have had the problem or it could be something on my end, who knows…

the SU toolbar at one time was having problems with firefox but I think that’s fixed now so I’d say give it a try . For Alexa, I don’t have their toolbar installed at all, I use the firefox plugins to see rankings :) believe me, its much better that way …

that’s odd Pearl
I have no idea what the heck is happening…I have all my commenting options open including open ID..
as for firefox..I’ve never tried it….my computer went crazy with the SU tool bar and I cannot drop at all if my alexa tool bar is enabled..haa the joys of it all :0

oh noo.. you had problems with Firefox last year, didn’t you? I think you should do a clean re-install of this version, I’m sure you’ll like it..

hey Kim, I again got blocked by blogger for some reason, tried to comment on your new design – It’s looking awesome!

well Pearl I don’t use firefox or SU (they hate me there) ;)
maybe when I have a spare month I might attempt it :)

Hi Grace: haven’t seen you around for a very long long time and really great to hear from you.. hope all is well at your end..

you know after listing these, I noticed I missed rank checker, SeoQuake twitterFox, AlexaSparky, BlogRovR, BlueOrganizer and Mahalo follow :) Can’t believe I’ve gone nuts with these extensions :-) May be that’s the reason I couldn’t go with Flock, although I love flock too..

Grace — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 22:52:12 +0000

Love the list! I use the SU plugin, the PR and Alexa rank checker, so it jsut shows up at the bottom of the screen without me needing to go out and check, the link selection plugin where you just select with your mouse and all those links will open either in a new tab or window.

thank you for visiting ravon… I love Piclens, been sort of addicted to it lately.. :)

ravon — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 13:08:43 +0000

I love firefox! Answers is a very useful tool, and i like adblockplus. Piclens is cool for viewing pictures. There are simply too many good extensions to name.

thanks for stopping by Ken.. hope to see you around more often now that you are back blogging…tc

Cool list Pearl! Gosh, I guess your firefox is stuffed with those extensions. I only use 10% from your list. :)

that’s odd isn’t it Jonathan :) I haven’t even seen what’s in my sidebars for months now since I haven’t been actively blogging.. it sure is time to do some cleaning here, pretty soon I hope … thanks for stopping by

That’s a great list of extensions. I must say though it seems a little odd that you would use ad blocking software when you run a blog that one would presume earns you some money from ads.
