What's in your Firefox?

I've only begun to discover the greatness of the Firefox browser but I thought I would mention some of the add-ons/extensions that I use. Yex pointed me to Firebug (Dave gives it some love too) and it looks like Scott Water has some cool ones loaded up that I'll need to check out as well. If you've got a "can't miss" extension that I should take look-see at then please shout it out.

Roboform - I've blogged about the greatness of Roboform before.  Now I can use it in Firefox.

Del.icio.us - This one I recently installed and going to give bookmarking a shot.  So far so good.

Firebug - So far it is pretty impressive.  I've saved a couple of sites that I need to view on how to really use it.  Thanks to my Del.icio.us extension, it was a breeze.

GMail Manager - EVERY e-mail account I have goes through my Gmail account.  This little plug-in replaces GMail Notifier.  Sweet Action!

IE Tab - A must have for any web developer.  Need to see what your work looks like in IE?  Open it up in an IE Tab and you're good-to-go.  You can also set it up to open all sites from a specific domain to automatically open in an IE Tab....can you say Sharepoint?

Live HTTP Headers - This is replaces a dear friend of mine ieHTTPheaders.  Again, something that most web developers could use.

Tab Mix Plus - This little baby put me over the fence into the Firefox crowd.  Puts you in full control over your tabs.

Web Developer - Needless to say, this is a great extension and I use it many times during the day.  The table and CSS pieces are enough to keep me around.

Also, I use the Classic Compact theme.

If you've got a sweet add-on I should look at, please let me know.

 Giddy Up!
