What are your favorite firefox extensions?
Below is a list my favorite firefox extensions that simplify my life on a daily basis.
- Tab Counter by Morac - very useful tool that displays a number of currently open tabs. I normally try to limit my number of open tabs to a certain number, so that the browser doesn’t crash.

“Save Image In Folder” - allows you to set up any number of custom folders so that when you’re browsing, you can quickly right click an image and save it into the folder of your choice!
“Foxmarks” - keeps a copy of your bookmarks hidden away on a server, and synchronises between any computer you have it installed on. Bookmark something at home, go to work and the bookmark will be there too (after you open firefox and wait a second of course ;))
“Password exporter” - does exactly what it says on the tin!
“Better Flickr” - if you’re into flickr, you’ll love it…

Thanks for those! I’ve used the “Save Image In Folder” add-on before. I lost track of it after clean Firefox reinstall.
PS. I have fixed new lines, so your post should display properly now.
