What are the Firefox extensions you would take to a des(s)ert island?

FasterFo(u)x, which makes my pages load q(u)icker. I also like the mo(u)se gest(u)re extension. While I don't (u)se it to its f(u)ll potential, being able to shift between tabs witho(u)t clicking on them is pretty nice.

StumbleUpon. It's the button I've wanted the internet to have since it started-"Entertain me."

I just stumbled into firefox not too long ago and I really like adblock. I'll have to try out fasterfox...

What's the MGE? I never hearda that. I just use Faster Fox and the weather, but if I could get more, I probably would.
My favourite is prolly Tab Mix Plus. Really makes the tabs more natural (to me). Others I use are:
Fasterfox
Adblock
Adblock Filterset.G Updater
Cute Menus-Crystal SVG
All-in-One Gestures

The FoxyTunes extension is beyond awesome, primarily because I'm so incredibly lazy. It's a great way to control my music.

I use Tabbrowser, Adblock + .G Updater, DownThemAll, FoxyTunes (with Foobar2000), Image Zoom and All-in-One Sidebar.
.. And now I think I'll go look for more junk. The gestures thingy sounds handy.
Nothing quite like the Gmail Login/Notifier on the toolbar...

Where do you find these again?Look at your bookmarks. FireFox auto-installs a bookmark to the extensions page.

I'm still waiting for the extention that allows me to control Firefox by thinking in Russian.
Eh? EH?
Bah...kids these days...

I actually don't have that many extensions. Let's see, there's...
* StumbleUpon (awesome time-waster)
* VideoDownloader (for downloading Youtube videos to iTunes)
* Answers (alt-click any word to get its Answers.com entry)
* Mouse Gestures (very cool tool; let's you control Firefox with mouse movements. Reminds me of that holographic display in Minority Report...)

FasterFox - Faster loads
Stealther - Disable cookies and history and probably other stuff with one click ;)
FoxyTunes - Who doesn't like being able to change thier music without having to open it all the time (Winamp)
Damnit, i need to open my extensions list...
FLST - Focus Last Selected Tab ....
Google Preview - See a picture of the site before you click it
CustomizeGoogle - No ads :)
IE View - Open the same page in IE incase it doesn't work in Firefox
Hell, I love almost all of my extensions

I just make fun of English. And people who don't have an option. Poor, poor souls.

Fasterfox, Adblock with G-Updater, No-Script
For me it has to be a toss up between the Web Developer Toolbar, the Wizz RSS News Reader and All-In-One Sidebar.
Adblock and Web Developer Toolbar. Live HTTP Headers is also rather useful.

Live HTTP Headers.
Confusing web servers since 2005.
how do you uninstall an extension? I downloaded one thinking it was one thing, but it's just making me angry now.
NoScript
Followed closely by Adblock.
Firefoux?
Well probably the dev toolbar, even though I hate web development.

I installed it a couple of days ago after I saw your post, and I must agree, stumble upon is awesome.

Just go to Tools / Extensions to go into the Extensions Manager. Right click on the extension you want to uninstall to get a bunch of options.

SpellBound Development version. It provides "spell as you type" (those red lines under misspelt words) spell checking in a multitude of languages. Don't worry about the "development" bit - it's very stable.
The same feature will be built into Firefox 2.0, but this is a nice way of having the future today.

Okay, thanks.
