My Firefox add-ons, let me show you them

I really like Firefox. Mostly, I like it because there are some add-ons I’ve come to depend on. I can install them and have identical tools across platforms for work and recreational web use. Since I switch between Mac OS, Linux, and Windows (sometimes in the same day) that’s important to me.

So here are my add-ons. I don’t use as many as I used to. I’ve lost a few of my favorites in various Firefox major upgrades, which makes me sad.

I’m posting this partly to have a list I can go back to and download them, and partly to share what I use.

Clippings – I mostly use this in answering e-mail for Consumerist. Though just because I use pre-set responses doesn’t mean I don’t read and think about every e-mail that comes across my screen. I really do!

CoLT – This add-on lets you right click on a link and copy the text and hyperlink as HTML. (Or BBCode, or Wikipedia formatting, etc.) There are a few different add-ons that do this. I like this one.

ModPlugin – This is a very specific add-on, and maybe soon to be obsolete, but it’s absolutely essential for Freecycle moderators.

RECAP – Now that I’m a researcher for hire, I use PACER very rarely. But when I do, I contribute to RECAP’s rogue attempt to bring PACER into the 21st century.
