Set Firefox on fire

User favourites

Over the past year, we've offered our favourite Firefox extensions to you in four different categories. From the simple genius of PDF Download to the more advanced tools, we think we've done a good job of collecting the cream of the existing Firefox add-ons. However, when we asked for your own favourite extensions, you responded heartily with excellent choices. We narrowed all of your suggestions down to a list of 10. As always, it's never too late to chime in with your own favourites.

Tell us about your own favourite Firefox extensions at the bottom of this page. If you don't have Mozilla Firefox, get the official release now.

Web Developer Once you find it, you won't know how you ever lived without it. A godsend for anyone who publishes Web pages, this Extend Firefox winner makes validation, design, and CSS work much more efficient.	Google Browser Sync This add-on from the search engine leader allows users to sync all of their Firefox browser settings, such as bookmarks, passwords, and persistent cookies, across multiple computers.
CookieSafe If you're the type who stays on top of your browser cookies, this simple and effective extension might be up your alley. It adds a small icon to your status bar that lets you allow and deny cookies globally or for specific sites.	Colorzilla Another fabulous tool for Web designers and graphic artists, this helpful extension offers colour readings for items within your browser. You can also measure distances between two points or get information about DOM elements quickly and easily.
MenuX For those of us who use multiple Firefox extensions, it's easy to be deluged by the wealth of new icons, sidebars, and taskbars. Mark Bokil's nifty add-on helps save valuable browser space with a library of small icons that control numerous browser and extension functions.	Download Embedded Similar to our Volume III pick Video Downloader, this add-on lets you capture various forms of content embedded in Web pages. Movies, MP3 files, and Flash games are only a few of the possible files types that can be downloaded.
Performancing Bloggers using a variety of platforms like the ease of use and speed of this publishing tool. Drag and drop notes from existing Web pages, take notes for later use, or post directly to your blog.	NoScript We like NoScript, too. That's why we included it in our Optimising Firefox downloads. Like many of the best Firefox extensions, this add-on does one thing very well: specify which sites can use JavaScript, Java, and other executable code, and shut down the rest.
Tab Mix Plus Included in our Firefox fixes extensions, this outstanding add-on also makes the grade with our users. Add close buttons to individual tabs or define keystrokes for navigating through and manipulating tabs.	FoxyTunes Another classic extension, FoxyTunes was good enough to make our collection of Information and Entertainment Firefox extensions back in December 2005, and it's the most popular add-on after SiteAdvisor. Control your favourite media player with controls built right into the browser interface.
