    NoScript is useful but I tend to leave it switched off; I also use McAfee Site Advisor.

    I add extensions one at a time and monitor the effect it has on Firefox - watch for any crashes or slow downs.

    Extensions I like:

    Scrapbook

    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/427

    Foxmarks

    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/241...

    Fireshot

    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/564...

    Reminderfox

    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/119...

    Super drag and go

    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/137

    a great way to test addons, is to download Firefox Portable and install addons on that

    NoScript add-on =brill

    Also

    Information

    The original preferences toolbar was designed to give the user more control over the pages viewed, and to allow the power browser to use mozilla with greater ease and efficiency than ever before. The PrefBar 3 takes this concept to a whole new level; along with the standard preference checkboxes, the new version includes utility buttons, user agent spoofing, web links, and more, served on a fully customizable toolbar with a side of white rice. It's even possible to use PrefBar to create "macro buttons" to run nearly any code you want..

    Since so many site use scripts, I think no script is a pain, I usually only turn it on when I go somewhere I'm not sure about

    add ons I have:

    flashblock - flash shows up as a button to click if you want to see it

    StumbleUpon - finds new web sites based on your preferences

    Del.icio.us - on line bookmarks in side bar

    myWot - warns you about potential dangers

    fission - puts the loading bar inside of the address bar

    aardvark - information about specific elements of a web page

    greasemonkey - change how you see sites with javascript, won't work with no script

    web developer - a lot of website options and information

    Piclens = amazing

    Its basically a picture and youtube video viewer that works on most social network sites and google images.

    I still don't see an exact point of it but the only way for me to explain how good it is, is for you to try it.

    Oh and IE and Safari users there are also versions available for your browsers too.

    Take a look at the link below.

    P.s. I would also recommend adblock plus and the google toolbar.

    It relies upon what kinds of issues your into. My upload-ons encompass: Foxytunes - hyperlinks with itunes, abode windows media participant etc to make it easier to alter songs etc. from the backside of the firefox window. information superhighway developer - fairly self explanatory quite. enables you to control CSS/HTML of sites, play with cookies, validate code, replace how archives is dealt with etc. consumer agent swap - significant use; tricking a communicate board into questioning you're Google bot, so which you would be able to view content fabric without registering. Sxipper - vehicle-fills kinds, logs you in immediately etc. FireFTP - FTP shopper for Firefox, very clever. Cookie editor - facilitates manipulation of cookies Tamper archives - enables you to control archives being despatched. yet as you could locate my significant use is for information superhighway progression as my upload-ons are geared in the direction of that. you will possibly desire to locate upload-ons that throughout the time of good shape your makes use of ;)

    I like cooliris previews...just touch the little blue box on a link and the page opens..move off the page and it closes and the original page just stays as it is..

    And piclens..great for searching for pics and displaying them in a wonder-wall fashion.
