    Talking Cool Firefox Add-ons

    Let us share cool Firefox add-ons here. Currently I am impressed with,
    1.Cooliris (www.cooliris.com) - it is an eye popping, jaw dropping add-on to browse photos and videos from websites like Flickr, youtube etc. as a '3D wall'. You can browse all the news photos and videos. You dont need to go to Reuters to see them. It also available for other browsers.

    2.Site Launcher - (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10127) - it is a cool way to open your favorite websites with a hot key.

    The ones I like to use are StumbleUpon, AutoPager, DownThemAll, and the Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer. I use several different computers and not all of them run Ubuntu, but they all have Firefox on them. Foxmarks is really handy to keep my bookmarks synchronized between all of the various Firefox profiles I have on all mt pcs.

    AutoPage is a really cool addon. Basically what it does is when you are at a website that has multiple pages, like when you're using Google for example, it automatically loads the next page but you see it as one continuous page.

    StumbleUpon adds a toolbar to Firefox along with a button that will take to to random pages based upon preferences you specified when setting up a user account. It's really cool and I've been sent to pages that I wouldn't have though about looking for.

    Finally DownThemAll is a download manager that really rocks.

    Tab Mix Plus - Does everything you could want with tabs whether protecting, duplicating, recovering a full list of closed tabs among many other things. So good I think it should be included into firefox proper

    Phoenity Classic (theme) - a colourful yet light theme.

    British English Dictionary - it helps my spelling and seeing a red line under colour gets frustrating

    Colorfultabs - does what it says on the tin

    Downloadhelper
    Download Statusbar

    Flashblock -> blocks flash unless you click to accept it
