Firefox extensions

[celticdragonfly]

Dear Flist,

I am trying to set up Firefox on my computer with interesting extensions and even looking at pretty themes. Sadly, I can't seem to get past the main extensions and themes page on the addons.mozilla.org site. It goes off to load the page and never comes back.

So - if anyone has extensions that they CAN get to the specific page for, and that they think are good extensions to have, would you comment with a link to the specific page, and I'll see if I can get to that one?

Thanks

Here's the link to AdBlock, which I find essential:

Thank you. Any other recommendations?

Here at work, I have Image Zoom, Tiny URL creator, URL link, BugMeNot, and Adblock. I just added ForecastFox and zoomFox, but haven't tried either yet so I don't know how good they are. I also have these at home:

Copy Plain Text
TargetAlert
Add Bookmark Here
downTHEMall! <-- GREAT plugin
ieview <-- also essential

The BugMeNot one came from http://roachfiend.com/ and all the others came from the standard repository, I think.

when LJing, i use:
adblock
farktags (works with some lj formatting)
mousegestures (LOVE THIS!!!)
reloadevery

and play with a million more. what do you need/want FF to do for you? things i like might be useless to you, and not all extentions work together happily. what version of FF are you running? 1.0.6? give me some idea what you're after, and i shall find all manner of interesting things for you! if you can't load the page, i'll give alt links where possible, or email the file direct.

I am running the most recent version of FF. I don't know what I want it to do, I don't know what's OUT there. And I have to have the direct links, because the addons.mozilla.org page with the lists to the links - by category, most popular, best rated, etc - WON'T LOAD. Only the intro page will load, which just shows the top handful. Frustrating.
