What are your favorite firefox add-ons?

[Sparky]

Thanks @JuhaT I just installed Multi account containers. So far I was simply syncing, but this is way cooler!

noscript

My wife browses with ff without noscript, I can hardly believe it is the same internet and browser. She gets so many ads and slower browsing.

I think the security it brings is excellent...why let all those scripts run on your machine, they just track you and load more ads and scripts.

@JuhaT A separate firefox profile for facebook etc., would be better for you. ( Even better if that is firejailed )

Type in your terminal:

Code: Select all

mkdir $HOME/.facebook_firefox_profile
cat << EOF > $HOME/Desktop/Facebook_firefox.Desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Facebook_firefox
Comment=Firefox dedicated for Facebook
Exec=firefox --class Facebook_firefox --no-remote --profile $HOME/.facebook_firefox_profile
Icon=facebook
Path=
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=false
EOF

Then, go to your desktop, double-click on the facebook icon ( you may have to allow that desktop file to open ) and open the new, separate firefox profile for facebook.
Please clear all your data in the old firefox profile ( for facebook to forget about your old firefox profile )

For your information: The new profile would be located at $HOME/.facebook_firefox_profile

I've heard some people say : "Don't make your browser a Christmas tree" (decorated with too many addons)
Some addons may be malicious , unnecessary and/or slow your browser down

Give your wife uBlock origin .
It blocks most ads, if not all ; and is very user friendly -- just install and forget .
As Far As I Know, uBlock origin never breaks any website .

uBlock and VirusTotal are pretty much all I run on my daily use boxes.

Thanks for everyone sharing all those
