Hello fellow designers and developers

What are some Firefox plugins you absolutely *must have*? I'm looking to add to my very meager collection and would like to know what others are using.

Thanks!

Web Developer Toolbar

Ad Blocker Plus

UnPlug (although lately it's getting fooled by certain Flash content so I need to find a replacement)

WRT AdBlocker - website owners are still foaming and frothing that we're violating some imaginary obligation to see their ads. But I've been very actively using the web since the days of Mosaic and in all that time I have never ONCE bought a product or service because I saw an ad on the web for it. That's not how I buy things. I buy stuff because I've identified a need for it in my life and researched it appropriately. So ads have ZERO influence on me. So how am I stealing money from website owners by blocking ads?

pnelson,

You've been using the web since Mosaic? So have I -- I think there's a name for people like us... "internet fossils"

I've never bought a single thing through an ad either, although I have signed up for some newsletters because of them and learned about new services or products from my competition
