Useful Firefox add-ons

First of all, if you aren't using Mozilla Firefox as your default web brower, you really should.

No other browser allows such ease in customization and all for free. Sure, other browsers seem to integrate better with your desktop environment (Safari for Macs, Konquerer for KDE, etc.), but I still think Firefox trumps. Furthermore, the upcoming 3.0 appears to be even faster and less of a memory hog. Unbeatable!

Below are some must-have add-ons that will surely improve your web experience.

Adblock Plus - Gets rid of flashy internet ads and banners and replaces them with blank space.
Adblock Filterset.G Updater - A necessary companion that keeps Adblock Plus up to date.
Answers - Just Alt+Click on any unfamilar term and it'll you'll get a small pop-up with a description.
Long Titles - Fixes a minor bug that allows you to see complete "title" tags on images, like at xkcd.
MinimizeToTray - Instead of taking a slot on your Start menu, Firefox instead stays in the taskbar.
Read It Later - Check off sites on a To-Do list that it saves it in a special bookmarks folder!
Tab Mix Plus - Subtly nhance and customize your Firefox tabs including a wrap-around feature.
