Top Ten Firefox Add-ons You Must Have

 

1. Grease Monkey: This add-on is essential in taking back control of the WebPages you visit often. Want to always enable High Quality Videos on YouTube? What about going straight to source images when doing a Google image search. Grease Monkey uses custom java scripts to allow near limitless options. If you can find a script you need you can always just write one and customize it for your own purposes. After installing this add-on you want notice much but head on over to Userscripts.org and find the scripts you need free of charge.

2. Greasefire: Automatically searches for Greasemonkey scripts for a given site.

3. Automatic Save Folder: This nifty little add-on is for those of you who want to gain control over where particular files are saved to automatically. No longer deal with having to sort through one huge folder of files. With this add-on you can specify file extension types and what folders to save them in. For example you can tell Firefox to save all your jpegs to the pictures folder and .exe files to a programs folder. If you are constantly downloading files this add-on is a must have for staying organized.

4. Adblock Plus: Ads are annoying and we don't want to see any of them while we are visiting our favorite sites on the web.  Simply Right-Click and remove those pesky annoyances, the next time you visit those adds will be gone.

Another neat feature is the fact that it will remember your bookmarks taskbar and place the appropriate bookmarks on a fresh install.
