Zalary I enjoy reading others' lists of extensions, so here's mine. Added bonus of being an easy reference point for myself.

    • Tiny Menu - compacts your Menu Bar to a single dropdown. Adds browser real-estate for more add-ons.

    • Web Developer - this is an absolutely necessity when you troubleshoot weblogs for a living.

    • Firebug - another essential for development and design troubleshooting. More powerful than Web Dev, but less friendly, imho.

    • Linkification - turn non-linked links into links. (say that a few times fast)

    • Fox Clocks - I completely suck at timezone conversion. This lets me see multiple timezones on mouseover.

    • Menu Editor - especially useful if you use your right-click menu religiously and it's starting to get a little scary in there.

    • Resurrect Pages - does just what it says. When a page isn't available, this gives you the option to try a cached version from your choice of sources.

    • Tab Mix Plus - I assume there are people who use Firefox without this extension. I want to send them sympathy cards.

    • Greasemonkey - the #1 can't-live-without extension. Change a page, change every page. So much love.

Zalary If you're a complete control freak, you might want to create your own Blog or Content Management System.

    I'm currently very happy with TypePad,* but I've previously set my own CMS before using bits of pieces of the following tutorials. If you're good with code and dislike being tied to a third party service, take complete control by making your own:

    I used a combo of flat files with database (don't ask, I'm just weird) and these articles were also helpful:
