Re: which are your essential firefox add-ons?
duplicate tabs forgot/neglected-to-find this one before. adds some features konqueror fans will appreciate. more than just the name suggests, you can duplicate tabs, cloase all other tabs, ctr-select multiple tabs, detatch tabs, combine tabs, tidy all tabs in all windows to one window... cool huh? "handy" i think you'll agree. once u use, you'll not want to go back.

Re: which are your essential firefox add-ons?
i used to load firefox down with addons like it was another OS but i recently got away from that. these are the few addons i couldn't go without:
adblock plus
download statusbar
add to search bar
i really like noscript and i always put on any windows system but i haven't really found a deep need for it on linux

yeah, this thread was inspired by that thread, but i wanted it even tighter n tidier a list rather than everyone listing 50 addons. looking for a more essential survivalist minimal kit.
~edit~o wait, i think it was a different thread... there must be another kicking around.
