Wonderful list. I have some testing to do! I have a few other favorites worth looking at:

-Forecastbar Enhanced is another weatherbug like status bar tool that also offers animated satellite images when hovering over a radar icon
-Add bookmark Here^2 is great if you have a lot of bookmarks in folders.. each folder has a title
‘add bookmark here’ so you can just put it right in the folder you prefer without hitting the organizer
-IE Tab is a given for the dwindling number of site that just don’t render as well in firefox as IE
-Mouse Gestures Redox is as fine a mouse gesture application as you can get
-Read It Later is great for all those articles you want to get around to later but, not worth bookmarking.. just hit the read it later icon and go back at when you get the opportunity.

Wow, nice extensions. Colt and Text Links are my favorites as they are very handy. The rest are all good too.

@Daymoon – Unhide Passwords was also on our initial list. However, we had to remove it because it causes a problem with RoboForm, and since RoboForm is much more beneficial than Unhide Passwords, we removed it from the list.

Some of my top add-ons not on your list:

Colorzilla (great for designing web pages); HideBad (for privacy); Searchbar Autosizer (so the search box doesn’t take up too much space); Table Tools (sort and copy tables); Unhide Passwords (when I don’t need absolute privacy); and Uppity (to quickly get to the root of a site).

Is the Always Remember Password FireFox 3 compatible? I have had to use a hack for FireFox 3, and lose the hack every time I do a FireFox update.

Nice list! I especially find the copy link text add-on to be very useful. Great collection of Firefox extensions.

Some other cool add-ons are ScribeFire (very easy blog editing add-on), FlashGot (everyone knows download managers are greater than normal), DownloadHelper (for video, music, etc.), Web Mail Notifier (boring to check email???), Fire Universal Uploader, etc.

One I can’t live without is the SEO for Firefox plugin. Even though there are a few similar plugins available that might have more features, this one is the cleanest and easiest to use. It helps Internet marketers and SEO’s find things about a page/site very quickly.

The Download Statusbar is great. You can pause/resume downloads, which is awesome when I am downloading game patches at work. I can pause them when I get busy… Definitely worth while downloading this add-on! Nice list.

@James – NoScript is great. The reason it was not included is because its functionality is already included in Adblock Plus.

Have you evaluated NoScript? If so, what put it out of the running?

I really like what you’ve done here. It’s great, and I plan on testing at least a few of them out. ;P

@Rebecca – We have indeed evaluated ReminderFox. At the time we reviewed it, the only downside was that in order for you to get a reminder, the browser must be open. So, if you have your browser closed, and are reading email in your email client or such, you could completely miss a needed reminder. Therefore, we use a simple tool called RemindMe here. It resides in the Windows system tray, and performs the same function.

I found a few goodies in here that I hadn’t heard of before. Thanks! I’m also going to try out ReminderFox, a calendar plugin; ever hear of it?

Adblockplus is definitely a must-have add-on for me.
