On iTunes you can find anything but it costs you a bit. Anyway the idea is if you pay you will have quality merchandise. This is a rule for anything.

Foxy Tunes was already mentioned, but it's a must for anyone that uses iTunes while on the computer.

Also also can't live without DownThemAll, a mass downloader, great for when you get to pages with lots of pdf's, extensions, widgets, etc.

I have been using Search status for the last 18 months and it is fantastic.

I started using SEO for Firefox today and I am amazed how easy it is to use and how useful it is. The site it is on, also has a lot of other useful tools.

I'm hooked on the stumble upon toolbar, click stumble and it takes you to sites that others have rated as interesting. Be careful - it can be a huge productivity buster, but I have found a bunch of cool sites and tools.

Thank you for the great article! I love using Firefox and I could not operate my business without Roboform. Serving so many different clients means that I have a TON of passwords to remember so I let Roboform do all of the work! :)

Loved the recommendations. The comments would have been better if people responding had left links to the extensions they are recommending

Firebug - let's you dissect and inspect the HTML, CSS, Javascript with ease..

quite possibly the greatest thing since the browser itself ;)

The Web Developers Tool bar is essential for anyone mucking around with html/css/javascript

IE Tab lets me load the IE rendering engine inside a firefox tab (for sites that don't work in firefox or for checking my own sites' compatibility)

Gmail Manager checks all my gmail accounts and notifies me of which account has new mail and allows me to log in to that account with just one click.

Paste and Go lets me copy and past URLs into the address bar and goto that site without hitting enter (also does the same with search teerms in the searcbox)

FoxyTunes lets me control iTunes (and almost every other media player) from my status bar.

NoScript lets me generate a whitelist for sites that I'll allow to use JavaScript, Java, and Flash

Linkification turns plaintext urls and email address into clickable ones

I've 20 others installed but they're not nearly as exciting.

I highly recommend two more. 1) IE Tab, which uses the Internet Explorer engine as a tab within Firefox, for those few times when I have to view a site in IE (rare, but they're useful).

2) Foxmarks Bookmarks Synchronizer: This extension keeps bookmarks synchcronized between PCs (e.g., my home and work PCs). Very useful.
