Favorite Firefox extensions
What is everyones favorite firefox extensions? I'll start, my three favorites in this order are:

1. DownThemAll- download manager that can mass-download all links/embedded objects on a page. for example, a page has multiple pics you want, and instead of individually saving them all, you can tell it to download all the pics on the page by selecting them in the menu. pretty cool.
2. FasterFox- speeds up firefox. just runs in the background
3. BlogThis!- if you use blogger, you can right-click on the page and choose BlogThis! from the menu. A blogger window with the title and link are set up automatically. Nice if you come across a good article you want to link to.

Yeah, I use the silver theme and I love it. What exactly does the add-on do though?

The add-on is basically a built-in english/chinese dictionary that'll translate stuff if i'm not mistaken. it was kinda a joke, don't know for sure if i'll even use it much, but it might come in handy, I DL'd it anyway.
I love the silver theme, but it takes up a lot of space, the buttons and bars are just kinda bulky, but it looks cool. Can't decide whether I'm gonna stick with it.

I got a new one to add to the list, it's called "foxmarks bookmarks synchronizer" (sorry don't have a link, if you want it just go to addons.mozilla.org/firefox and search for foxmarks). what it does is you install it on all your computers as an extension, get a user name, and synchronize your bookmarks (including the shortcut bar at the top). You can merge or replace sets of bookmarks. It's very simple and quick, and makes life so much easier. It's now high up there on my list of favorites.

A must have is adblock. I am using it a lot in order to safely use Myspace with all the stupid ads with provacative pics. I just adblocked them and now I never see them - it is great.

FYI IE7 has addons which are extensions...a lot of the firefox ones are coming over....like stumbleupon etc.

Googlepedia is a cool one I've seen recently. Whenever you do a google search, it splits the page in half, displaying google results on one side, and wikipedia results on the other side

ErrorZillaMod, while not being the best named extension ever, is kinda cool too. Bascially, whenever you get one of those "could not establish connection with server messages" it replaces the custom error page which says only "try again" with stuff like google cache, wayback machine, and a few other options in case the page has been Dugg, or its just down for some reason.

EDIT: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2864/ just became my all-time favorite.
