Okay. What are your favorite Firefox extensions? Why? What functionality does it add to the browser? Thanks!

Adblock and ChromEdit are the only ones you need!

Web Developer provides all kinds of shortcuts and quickies for, you guessed it, web developers. (Things like: resize the browser window to simulate how your site looks in varying screen sizes, outline various elements, turn styles and js on and off easily, hide images, validate HTML and CSS, etc.)

If you build websites, you'll want it.

the Edit CSS extension is wonderful. It's a sidebar that lets you edit any site's CSS and instantly see the result in the browser. Fantastic for prototyping.

I like "User Agent Switcher" let's your browser masquerage as anything you choose: good for anit-Mac sites (w/ IE 6 Windows XP), and for fun (w/ googlebot/2.1)

I like Adblock, and another one that lets you copy an image to the clipboard. I use it to more conveniently add art to iTunes. I forget what it's called, though, because I haven't installed it since I upgraded to the newest nightly.

On lab computers at school where Minesweeper and Solitaire are unavailable, I often put in the equivalent Firefox extensions
