»Q«'s List of Firefox 2 Extensions

This is a list of the %enabled_extensions_count% extensions in use in my usual Firefox profile for Firefox 2. I've also got a page with brief comments about a few of my favorite extensions. I've also got a page listing all the Firefox 3 extensions I use so far.

The links in the list will take you to homepages for the extensions, except for the middleclicknocollapse extension, which I host here. In most graphical browsers, hovering over each link will show that extension author's brief description of its function. There's some info at the bottom of this page about how the list was generated.

At the time the list was generated, I was using %useragent%.

{{extension:%name% %version% %disabled-text%
}}

It's a bit risky to use this many extensions at once, since extensions sometimes conflict with each other. All of the ones I use are compatible with the others, AFAIAA, with the notable exception that they clobber each others' keybindings. But at any point an update to one of them might cause incompatibility. To mitigate the risk, I have Firefox set to notify me of updates but not automagically install them. I make a backup of the entire profile directory before updating any extensions or installing any new ones. The few times I've had to restore the backup, it's been a seamless process.

This page was generated by the InfoLister extension, using a template, and then cleaned up some by a script. If you are interested in how this was done, I've got a page with some info.
