My Favorite Firefox Extensions

Checker Plus for Gmail
Get notifications, read, listen to or delete emails without opening Gmail and easily manage multiple accounts.

Clear the cookies of the website on the current window. Useful for sites that let you read only x article per month... just clear the cookies and refresh the page.

Customizable mouse gesture add-on, which supports over 60 different commands and additional features like rocker and wheel gestures. I use this for two main things: opening links in new tabs, and closing pages when I'm done with them.

Redesigned new tab page featuring your bookmarks, apps, most visited, and recently closed in a custom layout.Features:
    Simple, clean design
    Highly customizable
    Fast loading and lightweight
This extension replaces the default new tab page. Drag and drop folders to create new columns or reorder them. The font, colors, spacing, and more can be customized from the options menu.

Instapaper browser extension to save links for offline reading. My general use: find a long-read web article and save it to Instapaper, then read it on my phone later (I useed my phone as an ereader).

Last Password you will ever need
LastPass is a password manager that simplifies everything you do online by remembering your passwords, logging into your sites with one click, creating strong passwords for every account, and so much more.

Protect yourself from fraud and identity theft with disposable credit card numbers for use online. You can lock a virtual creadit card to just one merchant, just one use, or to a maximum amount. Free service.

Privacy Badger automatically learns to block invisible trackers. Helps save your privacy.

Finally, an efficient blocker. Easy on CPU and memory. The very best ad blocker out there. A *lot* of virus/malware stuff happens from ads, even on sites you trust; this helps things run smoother and more safely.

VirusTotal Firefox Extension. Use to scan sites and downloads for malware.
