Firefox Extensions Rock!

You already know that we’re Firefox crazy here at the PowerPage, if you’ve also changed your default browser to Firefox, you must check out Firefox Extensions. I love the way that they self install. Just Select Tools > Extensions then click away! Some that I have installed:
Mouse Gestures – Allows you to execute common commands (like page forward/backward, close tab, new tab) by mouse gestures drawn over the current Web page.
AutoForm – A tool for automatic form filling
Autofill is a semi-faithful recreation of Google’s IE Autofill function in Mozilla Firefox (with some additional features).
DictionarySearch – Looks up a user selected word in an online dictionary
Bandwidth Tester – Tells you the bandwidth of your current Internet connection.
ForecastFox – Get international weather forecasts from weather.com, and display it in any toolbar or statusbar with this highly customizable extension.
Gmail Notifier – A notifier for Gmail accounts that does the job but gmail is soon to have an rss for your inbox so you can see your inbox through live bookmarks.
Oh, if you haven’t already installed the Firefox speed-up patch, RUN, don’t walk to install that bad boy.
What are your favorite fF h4x?
