Dont forget the update yesterday to the LivePR pagerank bar for FireFox 3.
You can now just have a small PR bar that automatically gives the pagerank of a site without having to show that large Google toolbar
Since you can search Google and Yahoo directly from FireFox - just having the PR 3 is adequate for many Webmasters

Interresting how half of them are rubbish toolbars and the other half should be built-in features.

This was really useful - I'm just glad I have my Google Toolbar back! You should also check out SocialBrowse - it's twitter for links and its really addictive! You share links with the people that are following you as you browse and it all fits into a neat sidebar with no login needed - www.socialbrowse.com .

"ChatZilla - Add an mIRC client to your browser so you can chat in it directly without having to open any other applications."
Hein!? A mirc client? Are you crasy people? mIRC is another IRC client!

ChatZilla is not an "mIRC client", it is an "IRC client". mIRC is the name of another popular IRC client made by Khaled Mardam-Bey, that has existed since the mid-90s.
You know, it would be really nice if bloggers stopped posting copy/paste lists and started posting their own expert knowledge. The internet, once again is being turned into a mindless "me too" circle jerk.

I have to say that I'm not a fan of Firefox. It has never agreed with me.

Great List, Sean, you guys are the best. You should add Hyperwords also, it is one of the must have Firefox extension.

FYI- Firebug is not compatible with Firefox 3. I think 1.1 BETA might work though.

Check out the extension at watchmelater.com. It's like a Tivo for firefox!

Without question, Tree Style Tab should be on there. It adds vertical tabs to Firefox, a feature which should've been default — especially on today's many widescreen monitors.
You'll be able to not only view many more tabs at a time without bothering with awkward multi-horizontal lines, but collapse/expand at your leisure.
I have been constantly probing firefox site for my favourites.
But Tab Mix Plus is not yet out... :(

There isn't an official release, but I'm using a development build that works just fine. I don't have a link handy, but dig around a little. . .

There's a link on the tab mix plus page on where to get the 3.0 extension. Works like a charm. At least on OSX

No one said you MUST add them all/have them built-in. That's why they're called add-ons - they're optional (and personally I'm using just 5 if you don't count the theme).
"Monor 2008-06-26 18:18:47 Just use opera it has practically all of those features by default." What if I don't want them and furthermore what if I want to fully customize my browser? -> I go Firefox :P

Meh. Looks like you guys just took a look at what was already popular for ffx2 and then just mentioned how they've been updated. Not much new here.

I have been using McAfee SiteAdvisor. This one is useful too! The plugin by answers.com is also useful: alt+click gives you the meanings.

I would also like to point out two I have trouble getting along without:
Easy Drag To Go, which lets you configure the browser action for text, images, and links when dragged and dropped within the window (I just set mine to open everything in a new tab).
Save File To, which lets you designate common folders you use for saving and even lets you automatically include their sub-folders! Great if you frequently download certain types of files and/or have specific areas for storing them on your hard drive.

This is a great list. I was weary of upgrading to FF23 because I wasn't sure if a lot of my favorite extensions had been updated. I see that most of them have. I even found a few I wasn't aware of that interest me. Thanks for this!

what ever happened to using an app that was made to do a specific purpose? i can see how some of these would be useful on portable firefox in a locked down work environment. that hardly makes them must have. at home using an actual client for ftp, irc, im wouldn't kill you would it? one more thing... seriously colored tabs? if you can't see the favicon & a few letters open another window!

I find the idea of Colorful Tabs a weird one, because now not only do you have to remember the title of a particular page but what color it's been assigned to.

@Monor The new Opera sucks, to much errors then in previous versions and a lot of overhead. Think firefox 3 is much better.

I added the Firefox in my new netbook, and am happy with it. When you get your new netbook (www.netbookcomputers.com) make sure to put in Firefox.

firefox 3 was really great, so many feature. But some add-on doesn't work. It really regretful. I thought that the newer version will work for all add-on.
