Useful Firefox Addons for Forums

There are a few Firefox add-ons that can really help both using and creating forums. If you do not have Firefox, you can download it for free at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

BBCodeXtra
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/491
Frankly, I don't know how people who use forums live without this. Allows you to format your post just by selecting and right clicking on an option, whether BBCode for a post or in HTML for you board wrappers. There are several other addons for using BBCode, but I think this one is by far the best. It will also format anything you have copied onto your clipboard (for example, if you are posting ads).

Forum Additive
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4667
This is amazing, once you get the hang of it. Right click on a forum link or a post link, go to "Forum Additive", then choose "Moniter this Thread", and it will notify you every time someone posts that that forum or thread either by sound or popup. Marvelous when RP'ing, keeping track of when people post new characters, or in tracking your staff forum. You can also go to the addon options and add your own username, so it will skip your own posts.

DejaClick
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3262
This records patterns if you check the same threads over and over again. It's basically a macro creator for repeatedly surfed sites.

Yaplet
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4579
You can chat on your sites or any site while surfing other sites using this sidebar applet.

AdBlock +
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865
This gets rid of ads. However, do know that some sites have scripts that can detect this and won't let you look at them until you unenable it. I like it anyway. :)

Clipmarks
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1407
You can use this to save your favorite posts, or anything you wish to keep a note of, with the link to it.

Disable Autoplay
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1765
If you are like me and hate automatic music players, this disables them from starting automatically. You still have the ability to use the play menu on that player.

Stylish
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108
Like a site, but hate it's skin or font? You can personally customize a site's appearance to personal specifications.

Good work, AdBlock + is great, as it clears basicly all adds.

oh wise one


Thanks for these. I am going to use some of them. I also like Stumble Upon. Some people consider it a waste of time but I like not knowing what it is going to pop up for me.
