    You have used copyrighted material in your description (my name) and that is a violation of something, I know it is. Any who, such a violation calls for serious legal action included with tons of paperwork most of which makes no sense and your computer will be confiscated and your internet card revoked. My lawyers will call you.
  • titlesaysitall, on 10/12/2007, -6/+19@ActiveMatx You will hear from my lawyers too.
    @ mc7winkie, can we calm it down a bit there?

  • Peepsalot, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12Seriously. Coupled with firebug, the Web Developer extension has just about everything you could need.
    https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/60/

    Not sure why it's not part of the list. Or did I miss it somewhow?
  • wiedo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9what about: http://www.duggmirror.com/software/13_Must_Have_Firefox_Extensions_for_Web_Professionals
  • succubuskiller, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I agree. I have no idea they can forget the Web Developer toolbar. I also like to run FasterFox since it shows me the loading times of pages in the bottom status bar.

    Also it is not listed by I like to use Search Status as well as SEO for Firefox. Search Status gives an Alexa and a Page Rank bar without the whole Google toolbar, fits nicely at the bottom status bar. Also has a lot of options, Link report to give you a look out number of internal/external links on any page. Definitely complimentary to SEO for Firefox.

    Also Colorful tabs is useful since it is easier to distinguish tabs when you have a lot open.
  • kasted, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Wheres the developer tool bar? It has all this crap and thensome.
  • treyjp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3what? if you're saying it's ridiculous that greasemonkey is missing from this list, i agree. and web developer toolbar. and adblock plus. buried for inaccuracy :)
  • ziadoz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I agree about the web developer toolbar, its possibly the best web development tool available for Firefox. I disagree with adblock though, it doesn't help you develop a website.
  • SPThom, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I expected to see the same old, same old--SearchStatus, WebDev, etc.--but aside from IE Tab, this appears to be a pretty fresh list of extensions I haven't seen around before.
  • itsmrchris, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3yeah this list is definitely missing the web developer toolbar extension.

    Also, love Aardvark extension, Extended Status Bar, URLParams, and for text editing check out Testo

    they make my programming life easier!
  • Toast1185, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2The only reason I clicked on this was to figure out what a web professional was.
  • LucianSolaris, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3They're missing Adblock from the list (and filterset.g updater, optional).

    Adblock: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/10/
    Adblock Filterset.G Updater: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1136/

    Adblock should be installed on everyone's system. When I do computer fixes, i install FF with Adblock (the FIRST extention to get installed) and train the user how to use it. From the get-go people who higher me (the geek down the street) are browsing a prettier, less annoying internet.

    To webmasters who use legit, non-annoying ads (like google ads): Blame the other sites that use flash 'shoot the monkey' ads or flash ads with music/sound. Blame the sites that use siezure-inducing color-strobes. Blame the sites that use invasive popups (ff does a good job, but could do better) or use a script to linkify random words on your page into advertisement links. Had those sites not done what they have done, then there would be no need for Adblock!
  • digdug2020, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2If you want a good ftp client look no further than filezilla.
  • chazdixon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is *****! I installed a couple of extensions that i didn't already have and it crippled firefox 1.5

    Now i have to frikin re-install because i cant frikin open firefox and the frickin extension manager to uninstall the frickin stupid "Must Have!" extensions.
  • caldroun, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2If the Title says it all, and you took the time to write that...Don't add to it.

    However, I say dont ever say "The title says it all" Put something in there.
  • OsiVert, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Don't forget colorzilla either. Beats taking a screen grab and using the eyedropper.
    http://www.iosart.com/firefox/colorzilla/

  • Leech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1always the same extensions...
  • dogsop, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Or you could read it here:

  • lsmaster, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Thanks for the mirrors! I only took FireFTP off this list. Not that great, yet I'm not a pro!
  • topopardo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Pretty new extensions, but some are redundant. Webdeveloper copes with the window resizing, validating and some other useful tools for "real" professionals

    Nevertheless, some of them are pretty cool! SEO for firefox, for instance
  • treyjp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1where have you been? use adblock plus now.
    http://adblockplus.org/en/

    also, i agree about the number one important extension being web developer. how someone could miss this amazes me.
  • joebone, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Firefox DOES have a "safe mode" for exactly that reason, it disables all plugins so you can start again and uninstall the troublesome ones.

    Then again, considering you have to "frikin re-install" maybe its too much hard work to go to Start->Programs->Mozilla Firefox->Mozilla Firefox(Safe mode).
    Failing that you could just run the exe thus:
    "(Path to Directory)firefox.exe" -safe-mode

    P.S: Chill. :p
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Use IE if Firefox is too much for you. Snif...
  • jhuebel, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Because then they wouldn't have a spot for Leyla.
  • jdb252, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Thanks... Got ***** before I could see it!
  • swamyg1, on 10/12/2007, -11/+6... I have the firefox webdev toolbar, it's all i need.
  • vednode, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0http://www.sportslizard.com/blog/2006/07/13-great-firefox-extensions-for-web.html

    (That might not be it.)
  • lsmaster, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1We need a mirror of some sort!
  • vednode, on 10/12/2007, -8/+0(misclick)
  • MrRio, on 10/12/2007, -9/+0Googlepedia is good :D
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -16/+3Holy *****... one one extension I learned about in my first 20 minutes of playing around with greasemonkey.
  • ActiveMatx, on 10/12/2007, -25/+4Okay..... title says it all.
  • mc7winkie, on 10/12/2007, -39/+3You son of a bitch. How dare you question Titlesaysitall's rights. You dare to mock him. I hope he sues your croch of so that you may not procriate any ass holes like yourself.
