Extensions makes Firefox more powerful and flexible, using extensions, you can customize Firefox's functionality according to your own desire. For example, people who are used to Maxthon (Myie2) may hope that Firefox is as close as possible to Myie2 as much as possible, you can do it through a variety of extensions. It may have to be acknowledged that Extensions developers do a lot of inspiration from myie2. However, all kinds of extensions that constantly emerge, actually make Firefox more powerful than myie2, easy to use.
I will introduce some of the extensions I have currently used.
Add Bookmark Here
This is a bookmark extension, which adds an option in each level of the Bookmarks menu, allowing you to add a browse URL to the current bookmark. MyIE2 also provides the same feature. In fact, Firefox has originally flexible way of adding bookmarks, you can drag the icon of the address bar and put it in any level of Bookmarks. Maybe there is such an option to be more convenient.

The EXTENSION is the same author. It allows you to send text or links selected on the page to an external program, such as NotePad.

FLST (Focus Last SELECTED TAB)
Still the same author's work. This extension can remember that you choose Tabs. When a Tab is closed, it will return to the last selected Tab instead of returning to the TAB on the left.

SwitchProxy
For domestic users, this extension is very useful. It allows you to easily switch the proxy server, access those that are blocked, such as blogspot.com and typepad.com. The only trouble is that it will make Firefox open the new window. The author also wrote a lot of Extensions and see it on his homepage. But for me, SwitchProxy is the most important.

Adblock
Extensions that intercept advertisements, which are much stronger than MYIE2's advertising, which supports intercepting various types of ads, and can even filter iframe. Moreover, it provides a list of elements that can be filtered by a current page, which you can easily select the content you want to filter. I use it to see Sina News, not only refreshing, but also filtered it out of connecting connections.

Bloglines Toolkit
If you are a user who bloglines, then you must need this extension. After installation, it is sitting on the Firefox status bar, checking if you are updated in Bloglines subscriptions. If there is an update, click on this icon, you can open your Bloglines subscription page directly.

Gmail Notifier
Google also has a Gmail Notifier, but this is for Windows. The advantage of most of Extensions is that they have nothing to do with the platform. This extension, contains toolbar icons, and status bar icons. I only use its status bar icon, there is a new message which will make a notice. However, the author of this Extension warned that because it uses the Firefox password manager, other extensions can also access these passwords, thus do not install those Extensions you believe.

Bugmenot
Many websites need to register (charges or free) to access their content, very annoying. Bugmenot is to solve this problem, you only need to right click in the text box that fill in the username, password, select "Bugmenot", which will automatically fill in the desired username, password by finding the corresponding content in the database. It uses the mutual spirit of the Internet. If it doesn't find the username and password that matches the current website, and you just have the username, password, you can also submit it to Bugmenot, share it with others.

Flashgot
In IE, online express (Flashget) can join "Use Internet Express Download" and "Using Internet Express Download All Links", but these convenient features are not used in Firefox. With Flashgot, the problem is solved. It joined "Flashgot Link", "Flashgot Selection", and "Flashgot ALL!" And "FlashGot All!". Not only support Flashget, but also other popular download tools such as GetRight, LeechGet, and Net Transport.

Tabbrowser Extensions
This is the most powerful Firefox Tabs combination tool I have ever seen. How powerful, you can go to it yourself. It also provides more additional modules to further expand it has strong enough features. It adds a Tab menu in the Firefox menu bar to customize various settings related to TABS. My most needed features include: a single window (never open new window, all windows open in tab), Tab drag and drop (you can drag a Tab to any position), reopen the closed tabs, medium key Click Close Tab, link to the way to open in Tab, and automatically return to the status of the last closed when starting Firefox. There are too many functions, it is really bamboo book. ;-) (Because this extension is too large, it will seriously drag down the Firefox response, I have given it.)

Right encoding
Firefox lacks a feature in IE, which is to select the page coding format with the right-click menu, you can only choose from the View menu. This is not very convenient, two, some are in the page, it is difficult to change the page code. With Right Encoding, you can easily use the mouse button as in IE, change the encoding format of the current page.
