Default Favorite Firefox Add-ons

I have had Firefox since 2.0 came out and am never going back to IE. One of my favorite points on Firefox is it's add-ons and extensions. I would just like to know what everybody's favorite add-on is?

Fasterfox: Makes my internet go blazes faster.

Fasterfox would be my favorite too. Before I downloaded this, my internet was slow as hell.

Get the Google Web Accelerator along with t. Goes even faster.

FoxyTunes and Greasemonkey would be my 2 and 3 favorites.

Of course, these sorts of extensions can also eat up the bandwidth of the sites you visit frequently, so don't set it too aggressively.

I'm referring to the bandwidth of the website - all sites only have a certain amount of bandwidth that they can use per month, and once they hit that limit they have to pay large bills or get taken offline. The prefectching option of many site accelerators can seriously degrade site performance and waste a lot of bandwidth, which is why we will be installing code to disable it, if it becomes a serious problem here.

I see. I don't really have T3.

Why aren't these forms able to understand html?

It's for security reasons. A hacker could manage to get your password if we allowed HTML. You may however use vBcode:

I see. Though it makes no sense to me, I will question no further.

Another one of my favorite add-ons is this one from Mozilla Japan. It puts the Japanese Firefox mascot, Foxkeh, in the background of all of your menus. It does nothing, but looks nice.

Stumble Upon is a great add-on that I am sad that I did not find earlier. Anyway, I have been interested in Foxmarks, but have had no reason to do so, as the computers at my school make it impossible to install Firefox for very long.

BTW, Jay, how does Foxmarks work exactly?
