Essential Firefox Extensions

I recently had to install firefox on a new computer, and I realized I didn’t have a convenient list of the plugins I use on a daily basis. Since I figured others might benefit from this information I’m making it a blog post instead of just a note to myself.

Here’s my essential firefox extensions:

Some noteably cool ones:

CustomizeGoogle is one that every SEO should have. It not only numbers my search results, but lets me quickly take my searches from Google to Yahoo to MSN with just one click.

Google Global is another SEO must – especially if you have Canadian clients like we at brandlabs do.

Screen Grab is cool too. It lets me save a picture of the webpage I’m visiting without having to do that printscreen + paint stuff.

Web Developer is perhaps the most useful though. There’s no way I’d be able to function without it. I’ve become totally dependent.

It’d be neat if you could package and distribute a version of firefox with a bunch of extensions already selected, settings checked, etc. That way you could have the SEO version, the web developer version, and the my parents version. I think that would greatly expand the firefox market share.

What do you think? What are your can’t live without extensions?
