  • DarkElf109, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Funny, he doesn't list the Google toolbar
  • ricplan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Joder macho, has roto la banca....
  • sentersoftech, on 03/02/2009, -0/+1been a pleasure to read... I agree with all of the aboves.
  • tarun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hover over the extension list links, you'll get a brief description.
  • omnithrope, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Funny, he doesn't list the Google toolbar"

    Why's that? I used to work for a major credit card corporation, but I wouldn't have recommended that anyone get our credit card.

  • MellerTime, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"I don't really care for that list."

    Neither do I. Yet again we prove that if it has "Google" in the headline, diggers'll cream themselves over it.
  • foshizol, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wow, I thought this was a good link. Seems like there's a lot of haters on Digg. Maybe Digg could benifit from a moderator when it comes to comments.

    I like when other people suggest different extensions for Firefox because Firefox doesn't list a lot of these on their website. It's also kind of cool to find out what Google employees use. Just like I would probably like to find out what an M.S. employee considers a killer app.

    So from me ivancio you get a Digg+.
  • camintmier, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Should have added CustomizeGoogle (www.customizegoogle.com).
  • rm999, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1lol he probably would have been fired if he said CustomizeGoogle - I was kinda hoping it would be on the list
  • ivancio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It's true. I didn't realize LOL
  • n3tfury, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Funny, he doesn't list the Google toolbar"

    Funny, Google's search is already built into FF. big deal.
  • NeilM, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I don't really care for that list.
  • BugMeNot2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Unfortunately, many don't work with Firefox 1.5 Beta/RC.
  • andrewr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hahaha
  • MellerTime, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Unfortunately, many don't work with Firefox 1.5 Beta/RC."

    Hey, just like the Google Toolbar!
  • omnithrope, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"That's why it's beta/rc...be patient and stick with 1.07."

    Is that really "why it's beta/rc?"
    I thought it was to test things.
  • DarkElf109, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Why's that? I used to work for a major credit card corporation, but I wouldn't have recommended that anyone get our credit card."

    Gah. I was just trying to make a joke...
  • Dujoducom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Those are some nice extensions.
  • SultanofSEO, on 07/25/2009, -0/+0Google toolbar is good but alexa is better you get more information on traffic stats.

  • bones_, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Session saver is non-existant? or what?
  • PrometheuZ, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Unfortunately, many don't work with Firefox 1.5 Beta/RC."

    That's why it's beta/rc...be patient and stick with 1.07.
  • Misunderstood, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Yet again we prove that if it has "Google" in the headline, diggers'll cream themselves over it."

    I think its because it has Google AND Firefox. Ya get both crowds.
  • omnithrope, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Did you partake in the creation of the credit programs for the company? I'm guessing that if you make something, your going to want people to use it."

    I did indeed.
  • Crazen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Pretty sad that people put google in the headline just to get more diggs. Because he works for google it's supposed to be something more than just another extension list?

    Nice list though, too bad most of it is MIA or incompatible with 1.5

    Image Zoom and Add Bookmark Here should be added to any extension list
  • peace, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0
    I can't believe all-in-one-gesture extension isn't on the list.
  • Daecilius, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0kicks IE in the balls
  • Mesach, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@N3tfury

    Google toolbar does far more than just search. My favorite functions are the easy hilighting, and the form filling.
  • siouxmoux, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I did like the about this site extension. I have heard of the rest of these extenstions
  • KillaKev, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ForecasterFox is nice.
  • MonkeyFit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0IE tab should have been on that list. I haven't used IE since I got that extension. I even uninstalled the view in IE extension since it was no longer needed. It was fun going through MS Update in a firefox window. Though I'm sure that will wear off soon.
  • Crazen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Google toolbar does far more than just search. My favorite functions are the easy hilighting, and the form filling."

    Firefox does this already without the toolbar
  • KidVicious, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Why's that? I used to work for a major credit card corporation, but I wouldn't have recommended that anyone get our credit card."

  • MattCutts, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hey everyone, I responded to the comments here on the original blog post. I fixed up a few of the broken links on that page, too.

    I use Firefox all day long every day, so I haven't tried the latest FF 1.5 betas yet; if my browser was unstable, that would kill my productivity.
  • billdana, on 08/15/2008, -0/+0yeah i have been using fire fox from the starting and i like it more then internet explorer and these extensions are really good for the professionals .

    ""Google toolbar does far more than just search. My favorite functions are the easy hilighting, and the form filling."

    Please show me the Hilighting, FF 1.5 does not work with the Google Toolbar, and while you are at it, please tell me where the 1 click form filling is.
  • ivancio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0For those people (bones_) looking for Session Saver this is where I download it from: https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&id=436

    Also available for Mozilla: https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=436
  • Wolfbeta, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Who cares? Are you a google engineer?
    No, so what does it matter what he recommends?


  • blah509, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I really think the best extension to FF is Flock :).

  • peerk, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0I thought the folks at google were smart.

    Opera > firefox

    Don't even try to argue it. I think Einstein or one of those other brainy guys proved it.
