  • ElBeh, on 10/10/2008, -13/+159Cool! My first ever submission to hit the front page!

    :)
  • Narcism, on 10/10/2008, -2/+92A dude with a hello kitty avatar...
  • ElbertF, on 10/10/2008, -1/+40But it's pink so it's ok.
  • ultrafez, on 10/10/2008, -1/+35You have to admit, it does take a lot to get onto the front page...
  • quomen, on 10/10/2008, -1/+33You're getting dugg up because you have a pink Hello Kitty avatar, and I'm betting that a few of the people are friending you and sending you shouts in search of a currently non-existent love life. Little do they know.. you're a MALE JEWISH TEEN FROM NEW YORK. Jacob Shamsian, I exposed your secret. The joke's on them!

    Or not.
  • GVR90, on 10/10/2008, -1/+32Congrats
  • GMofOLC, on 10/10/2008, -0/+25Dugg for "You Old Enough?"
    I don't know how many videos I've never seen because I don't want to bother with creating a fake youtube account.

    Edit: I just found out I have to register to download the extension.
    sigh
    I just can't win.
  • latrosicarius, on 10/10/2008, -1/+21very nice extensions :)

    i can't believe more people don't use Download Statusbar
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/26
  • ElBeh, on 10/10/2008, -4/+23Oh gosh no, I'm definitely not a submission whore and don't plan to be.
  • smackydoodle, on 10/10/2008, -2/+21If I were to install all of the awesome Firefox extensions these websites suggest that I just can't live without by now I'd have 973 of them.
  • Amadeus2490, on 10/10/2008, -1/+19Yeah, I was going to download You Old Enough?, but as soon as I saw that I have to register, it dawned on me how ironic it is to have to register for an extension to make it so you don't have to register.

    And then I had a a small aneurysm.
  • drakenlot, on 10/10/2008, -2/+20Congrats!

    Let's all throw a parade!
  • Markers, on 10/10/2008, -0/+13Congrats! Imagine all the sex you're going to have now... ooooh lala.
  • almighty, on 10/10/2008, -1/+12Ubiquity is the end all be all utility for Fire Fox. I can't wait until it's ready for prime time.
  • SSPink, on 10/10/2008, -1/+10Congratulations... I guess?

    Anyway, good find, this is literally the first "Cool FF Extensions That You Don't Know About" post that actually had cool extensions that I didn't know about.
  • AnonBuffalo, on 10/10/2008, -3/+12We have to register with firefox to try these... how annoying...

    Edit: Direct Link to UrlBarExt http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/UrlbarExt-Do ...
  • RaulMuadDib, on 10/10/2008, -1/+10Don't have to insult him.
  • erichw1504, on 10/10/2008, -0/+9Wow, sounds badass. Here's the link:

  • ChiKoo, on 10/10/2008, -0/+8I had no idea there were firefox extensions that were actually considered mainstream. We are freakin nerds.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2008, -1/+7I installed Errorzilla Plus, wish they had the Picture in Picture extension for Windows.
  • twiztidsinz, on 10/10/2008, -0/+6It's 'Experimental' meaning it hasn't passed and gotten an OK yet. It's so people like you don't add ***** to their browsers, have it not work properly and then bitch and cry that "ZOMG FIERFOX SUX!".
    If you don't have a mozilla login, make one.It takes all of 30 seconds and I don't even think you have to confirm it.
  • jszhang, on 10/10/2008, -0/+5You guys should say congratulations instead of making fun of his/her hello kitty avatar, people!

    Congratulations, Elbech !
  • frostbyt, on 10/10/2008, -1/+6I am going to add the TV manager when I gets home!
  • criaturaw, on 10/10/2008, -3/+7lucky bastard!

    ;-)
  • Whisperium, on 10/10/2008, -0/+4http://makemetheking.com has anonymous email boxes with RSS feeds. why not just do that? Easier than a FF extension at any rate, and then you can still check the box in browser.
  • erichw1504, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3Hulu or uTorrent
  • djemptyx, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3dugg. fantastic extension indeed.
  • Wiini, on 10/10/2008, -1/+4Someone needs to write a FF extension that checks anonymosu email boxes for stupid registration sites.
  • HigherLogic, on 10/10/2008, -1/+4TiVo.
  • andycr512, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3Windows users, don't forget Glasser. http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=63 ...
  • diemunkiesdie, on 10/10/2008, -1/+4For all the people who try to install these extensions, but can't because they dont have a mozilla.org account: http://www.bugmenot.com/view/mozilla.org
  • conspireagainst, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3Invalid file hash error when trying to install UrlbatExt (Mac OS 10.5 FF3)? Weird... cannot install TV Manager either, same error.
  • DangerMouse9, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3I want to make a firefox extension that will electrocute people over the inner webs.
  • drakenlot, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3Some people don't have money to throw at extra monthly payments.
  • holopanen, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3Fission is very cool.

    Here's other cool extension: LocationBar2
    http://en.design-noir.de/mozilla/locationbar2/
  • inactive, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3It does if you're insecure of your own.
  • kenij, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3They better not go mainstream, sellouts!
  • twiztidsinz, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3OLDBAR+Windows3.11!!!! WOOOOO!!
  • acero47, on 10/11/2008, -0/+3No, it wouldn't. The more extensions that get added into the minimal install of Firefox, the more bloated it becomes. Make the core as small as possible, and suggest extensions the user might like. I'd much rather be able to configure Firefox how I want it, than to have a buttload of crap I don't need or use slowing it down.
  • DangerMouse9, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3I didn't know software had a sexual identity.
  • Carl306, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3But what if they like men?
  • ElBeh, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3Hey, that's private information!

    Oh wait, yeah, it's okay. You can advertise for me.
  • RaulMuadDib, on 10/10/2008, -1/+4I use downthemmall.
  • Grazfather, on 10/10/2008, -0/+2Me too.
    BitTorrent if you're morally void like me.
  • DangerMouse9, on 10/10/2008, -0/+2No, only 11 in 12 people have. Those that have dug you down are still naive to the fact that the bird is greater than or equal to the word.
  • iherdn3rfz, on 10/10/2008, -0/+2dugg for Urlbar Ext. looks sweet.
  • sloonark, on 10/10/2008, -0/+2Then you could write a front-page article called Top 973 Firefox Extensions You Have Yo Have.
  • Burrito, on 10/10/2008, -0/+2I like that this information "outs" Jacob more than the Hello Kitty icon. My people are Internet people.
  • mahadiga, on 10/11/2008, -0/+2Congrats
  • imasuperDOTcom, on 10/10/2008, -0/+2Websites that make you verify your email address are evil.
