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.

Flickr To Blog: This Photo Needs a WordPress Author Account or Higher
If you’re using the feature in Flickr to post images to your blog, make sure the account you use to authorize “author level” or higher. I do this so I don’t give my primary blog account to every Tom, Dick and Harry service wanting to “extend” my blog through their services.
Also, make sure you’re using the Flickr Blog This to Draft script so your new blog post doesn’t get immediately posted but instead, goes to your draft folder so you can finish adding content and formatting it.
