My firefox extensions

Since that last post mentioned two extensions I use, I thought I'd throw this out there.

Here are the extensions I use on this computer, my others have a slightly different setup but pretty much the same:

  • Adblock Plus -- I don't block the adsense ones, but I do block some of the more annoying javascript ones on some other pages, that only get in my way and/or make some sort of sound.
  • DOM Inspector -- I think this one is basically included with FireFox
  • Download Statusbar -- I found this one a few weeks ago, loving it. The downloads window always seemed to annoy me before, this seems like a happy medium.
  • LinkVisitor -- I don't really use this one much anymore (still enabled), I was using this while trying to clean up my history file (lots of "invisible" ad sites in there that bloated my history.dat file, making FF freeze anytime I happened to click the History commandbar). I mostly use this for the "mark all links as read" (which also adds them to the history)
  • Gmail Notifier -- So simple but so useful
  • Google Reader Watcher -- Same
What extensions do you use and/or love? I used to use FasterFox until I realized that it actually seems to slow FF down. Anyone know of an extension that just times the page load, and nothing else?
