Usability

  • Tree Style Tab
    Tabs on the left
  • fox input
    Ctrl + i cycles focus through the page's text input boxes.
  • Classic Compact
    Allows compact UI with advanced settings.
  • Classic Theme Restorer
    Squared tabs, appmenu, add-on bar, small button view and many more 'old' features for Firefox 29+ (Windows / MacOSX / Linux).
  • FLST
    Switch between current and last selected tab with click or Ctrl + .
  • SmoothWheel
    Scroll smoothly
  • Show Profile
    Displays the name of the Firefox profile on window title or customized locations. Only useful if you have multiple Firefox profiles (I have many. See why here.).
  • ProCon Latte Content Filter
    Simple whitelist / blacklist site filter. Not really secure, but can help prevent you from browsing sites you don't want to browse within a specific browser profile.
  • Stylish
    Lets you easily install themes / CSS modifications for sites.
  • Restartless Restart
    Adds a quick method (File->Restart) to restart the browser.
  • Nuke Anything Enhanced
    Allows you to hide almost anything via context menu 'Remove Object'. Great when you just want to print a portion of the page.
  • BarTab Lite
    Keeps tabs from loading until you activate them.

Development

  • TotalValidator
  • Firebug

Other
