I would just like to share that I really love Firefox's Mouse Gestures extension (don't remember exactly which one it is). I only wish all my apps that required navigation (I'm looking at you Explorer) supported them.

Just to spark some discussion, which Firefox extensions are the most useful for you?

I don't use Firefox, but MyIE2 has mouse gestures, and I hate them with a burning passion.

Mouse gestures in Black and White. Good. Mouse gestures for your desktop. Horribly bad.

Session restore... it brings you to the page you were at last when you quit firefox. Very usefull for threads you want to check on.

Mouse gesturing is probably the main reason I use Opera.

Yup, Opera has had intrinsic way-useful mouse-gestures [and customizeable] built-in since.. heck i don't know. Can just do them in the page or on the addy bar or whatever, no sweat no special extensions or whatever.

I use Opera and love the gestures. Did Opera invent them?

Back to the question, I'd have to say Tab Browser Extensions is by far the most useful Firefox extension.

Pie Menus beat the hell out of mouse gestures.


Hard to tell which is the most important... Ill just list them all here.

Firesomething
Tabbrowser Extensions
Nuke Anything
Image Zoomer
Web Developer
Compact Menu
Flash Click To View
Toolbar Enhancements
User Agent Switcher
RadialContext
Live HTTP Headers
SmoothWheel
JSLib

...No particular order, just how they appeared in the extension list. Click here for a screenshot.

No. Xerox did back in the 80s.
