For those that use firefox, what extensions do you use the most?

Recently lazarus has saved the day on numerous occasions for me.

It saves whatever thing you have been typing from blog comments to forum posts, very useful if something crashes.

Any other cool ones that you would recommend?

There's a tool called "MeasureIt" which allows you to measure the length and width of an area on the screen in pixels, which comes extremely handy when doing some quick web redesign.

The Webdeveloper tool bar and SEOBook's seo toolbar are two of my most used extensions.

Oh, except I do have the thingy which gives you a cool skin: www.getpersonas.com/en-US/

The FF Add-ons that I always use and/or don't mind being installed are: These aren't all of them, and I've omitted toolbars like SU, google, yahoo, or paid or private extensions although, i stopped using 1 paid extension years ago (related to adsense)

- Aardvark - (helps maps out your site visually)
- bit.ly preview (like enabling tinyurl preview)
- cache status (ever freeze up? this is why - and you can clear cache)
- fireshot - (screenshots at your fingertips, capture entire page and upload them)
- greasemonkey (for a few other scripts not listed - including search options)
- IE Tab (you never know - Commission Junction works better in IE)
- SEO Blogger (from wordtracker)
- SEO for Firefox (more information when searching google)
- Shareaholic (just in case there are no buttons on a page)
- Toodledo (in the cloud TODO List)
- twitterbar (post from my location bar)
- whos.amung.us users online counter (lets me know if something is happening)
- xmarks (bookmarks & synchronizes all computers)

Those names are the official names if curious - search them yourself
addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/

// added //

My favorites used the most from the above:
toodledo, whos.amung.us, twitterbar, cache status, and fireshot

I have the StumbleUpon add-on and also the Stumbled button. It works well to see if a post has been stumbled and by who.

SEOQuake is a good one that provides lots of info in both searches and on individual pages--PR, linking info, etc
