  • eco57, on 11/20/2008, -0/+52A good half of these are "AdBlock Plus." ;)
    • kalagmail, on 11/20/2008, -16/+1Ads are irritating but many ads are useful.
      • lennybird, on 11/20/2008, -0/+15I cannot remember the last time I've purposely clicked on an ad.
    • PennFarmer, on 11/20/2008, -0/+8I must have missed all of the useful ones before I installed AdBlock
    • GOVATENT, on 11/20/2008, -0/+12PennFarmer: dude you should take AdBlock off. kalagmail is right. You could be missing out on your chance to get a free ipod nano.
  • loyalKNG, on 11/20/2008, -25/+0
  • AntifruStration, on 11/20/2008, -2/+6thats alot of addons
  • cheeseplease, on 11/20/2008, -0/+46The thing I like about these addons is that every now and then I think: "man, it would be great to be able to do x with my browser", then I search it, and there's an addon available doing exactly that. Firefox and the Mozilla community are a perfect example of why and how open souce can be superior.
    • JoeSpaceTime, on 11/20/2008, -13/+1You think in whole sentences, as if you're talking to yourself?

        HTML-isms don't work when brackets are filtered out.
  • lamiaconfitor, on 11/20/2008, -3/+2yes, but did they ever add a snaplinks update for mozillia 3.0?! nope.
  • Phalanxia, on 11/20/2008, -1/+9Ah, faithful Digg toolbar. What would I ever do without you?
  • hughtopia, on 11/20/2008, -0/+2I'm a big fan of TinyURL Creator.
    • dreimanis, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1I read somewhere, that these tiny urls should not be used, because once a given service is down, no links are working.
      • hughtopia, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1That's true. I don't use them for anything important. Just for shortening links for emails when I know the recipient has a crappy service that won't wrap a url to the next line.
  • DiggitalGhost, on 11/20/2008, -1/+2DIGG and Google TOOLBAR :P
  • clockdist, on 11/20/2008, -3/+3delicious toolbar FTW
  • TheJimid, on 11/20/2008, -1/+2I think the Digg Extension blows away the toolbar, but I'm just smart and stuff.
  • DisruptionFL, on 11/20/2008, -5/+5WOW finally no political crap stories on the front page!
    • Chrino, on 11/20/2008, -3/+2Indeed, these types of articles have been lacking. I haven't seen a "Top Firefox Addons" article in at least a week.
  • KillerSiafu, on 11/20/2008, -0/+2Ubiquity is by far the most innovative add on i've tried lately. I keep finding more and more uses for it! Good job mo-labs!
  • ImFrakkinIt, on 11/20/2008, -1/+1You really need a comma in your headline.
  • clarious, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1Though I have switched to Opera, I still miss firefox with its add-ons :( Why don't people at Opera do the same?
  • look4bears, on 11/20/2008, -0/+2this list is more of the same.
  • angrykeyboarder, on 11/20/2008, -0/+9Addons are the #1 reason to use Mozilla products.
    • skyshock1, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1The only reason I think. They've pretty much been bested in every other area by other browsers, but none have the awesome extension system.
  • mmx2000, on 11/20/2008, -0/+8"AdBlock Plus (though we hope you disable it on RWW and your other favorite websites)"

    Nope.
  • IShouldBeWorkin, on 11/20/2008, -0/+4Thank god for Adblock Plus and Firebug.
  • catsfive, on 11/20/2008, -2/+1Adblock Plus? Rilly?? Then the article asks, "Did we miss something?" YEAH, you missed something, like actually posting anything relevant we netizens haven't seen or heard of before. I read this on DIGG you morons, meaning that we've already seen whatever breadcrumb addonss your bleeding-edge staff are using about a year ago. Maybe you could post this instead to the quilting or macramé sites around the toobs. Maybe they'll appreciate your visionary insight. Until then, stop asking your underpaid staffers "Hey, guys, whatcha got installed on ur browserz?" Please.

    I hate sounding "holier than thou", and I'm not, but God, next time someone gets a genius idea for an article, maybe GOOOOOGLE some of that ***** up and actually realize that you have to write something UNIQUE for a change. I'm adding READWRITE to my hosts file.
  • someology, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1Also good: Distrust, Next Tab, Scribefire, zotero,
  • dreimanis, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1That's a crap list.
  • Ajzimm3rman, on 11/20/2008, -0/+0I LOVE FIREFOX!!!
  • Leadman584, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1FlashBlock and you can't be rick rolled.
  • panda6517, on 11/24/2008, -0/+0My roomate uses internet explorer. My girlfriend also uses internet explorer. So does my mom. WHAT THE ***** IS SO APPEALING ABOUT INTERNET EXPLORER, SERIOUSLY.
  • angelicaambos, on 11/26/2008, -0/+0that's why I love firefox!
