I just upgraded to Firefox 3.5 (video coming) last night and thought it a good time to go over my installed Firefox extensions again with you all! I’ll be dumping several as I don’t use them and telling you which ones you need to have to pump up Firefox.
I’ve gone over my favorite extensions in the past and still remember being interviewed about my use of Firefox extensions by Julio Ojeda-Zapata (@jojeda) of the Pioneer Press back in 2005.
