Firefox Plug-ins

adblock plus
Keep all those pop-ups and banner ads hidden automatically updates with new bad stuff

This allows you to change what the webserver sees your browser as this helps you with those sites that block Firefox.

Auto Copy
Just select the text and it gets copied to the clip board

autoHideStatusbar
Auto Hides the status bar to give you more room

Copy Plain Text

Works with Auto Copy so that when the text is selected it just copies the text not the formatting

Download Statusbar
Clean up that damn download menu and makes it a nice toolbar on the bottom auto hides when not in use

Nicely integrated FTP client

Adds the loading bar as the background to the address bar. (Safari thing)

Adds tab features and options

Tiny Menu
Shirks menu bar to just one link so you can consolidate everything to one line
