I recently had to reinstall Windows and when I realized that I no longer have my job with extensions and plugins for Firefox I gave the old blog. Many friends ask me to that list yet, so I decided with some additions to a restore, tips and November addons that helped me to become so good with Firefox's friend ![]()

Next I will present a personal list of addons and applications dedicated Firefox web developers and web designers, tested and used me as a web designer for over 3 years.
Firefox Tools
The first and most important thing for me is to have the same layout, bookmarks, addons that work on all computers - timing is the mother of productivity (at home, on your notebook at work), and the best tool to port the full profile Add another one called MozBackup (besides Firefox is compatible with Thunderbird, Sunbird, SeaMonkey, Flock, Postbox, Spicebird, Songbird, Netscape, etc.)..

Mozbackup can export a complete profile with firefox extensions, settings, addons, cookies, bookmarks, history, accounts, even open tabs in a single file which can then be restored / imported from any computer.
The latest version of MOZBACKUP DOWNLOAD HERE!
* It happens very rarely, but if ever a time in import addon sites will work properly (in most cases when the import is not a clean installation), we must seek and delete the file extensions.rdf the profile folder that you imported. (Location varies from one system to another ... Google it!)

Details:
* The list will be updated from version to version when I have time
* For a list of addons, there is no pre-orders
* I installed all the addon sites above plus an average 20 tabs open all the time and Mozilla Firefox running absolutely flawlessly (on average consume about 300MB memory)
* The download links are for the version of the current date of installation - Firefox 3.5.7 (might change during the release sites)
* Not in any way guarantee their proper functioning and the effects they can have on your computer / firefox to your (I use all the addon sites at the moment and I encountered no problems)
* Do not despair if an addon will not work with a new version of Firefox, uninstall it but do not expect the update to appear on the new version, until then will remain disabled.
