Firefox add-ons

I'm starting this topic for general info and fun.
Have you ever used any firefox extension (most common being Firebug) ?
if not..please install this wonderfull extension straight away. (Please check the version of your FF browser for compatibility).
Please share your experiences with different add-ons that you have used.
check out another FF add-on - "DOM Inspector" which comes in very handy if you are working with javascript DOM elements.
Any one has used greaseMonkey addon.?.If so please discuss what for did you use it...
(Grease monkey add-on allows you to inject your javascript code into any website ......ofcourse only on client side (and not on actual server)! ) .
this might come in handy if you want to test how your piece of javascript will behave on a live webpage...but you realise that you dont have access to the live server file to insert your code...
in such a case you can install Greasemonkey add-on on your FF browser and upload your js script to it , browse the page you want to test it on and......SURPRISE !!... you can execute the js script on live page....

  2. well, it used to go over my head as well, before I actually worked on developing a Firefox add-on myself.....

    Here is the link for downloading the addon I have worked on

    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6593

    once you download this,just drag the downloaded file on to your firefox browser ..it will auto install..
    this add-on allows you to type in indic (Hindi/marathi/bengali etc..)languges in webpages...Just try it for fun...Do let me know how you like it. :)
