Usability

  • Kill Sticky: Kill off the annoying floating things blocking the website you're trying to see.
  • Tranquility Reader: Like native "reader view" but compatible with other addons and more options.
  • Scroll Zoom: Zoom web pages with the left or right mouse button and the scroll wheel.

Image / Video

  • Image Max URL: Finds larger/original versions of images (supporting 8800+ websites), including a powerful image popup feature
  • Invert Image: The add-on inverts color of an image or color of any part of a page. Changes white color to black, for comfortable night time reading.
  • Save webP as PNG or JPEG: Convert any image (WebP, AVIF, etc.) to PNG or JPEG (with choice of quality) for downloading.
  • TinEye Reverse Image Search: Click on any image on the web to search for it on TinEye.
  • Video Speed Controller: Speed up, slow down, advance and rewind any HTML5 video with quick shortcuts.
  • Enhancer for YouTube™: Take control of YouTube and boost your user experience!

Tools

  • EPUBReader: Read ePub files right in Firefox. No additional software needed!
  • WebStickies: (Persistent) Sticky notes for the Internet

RSS

  • RSSHub Radar: RSSHub Radar is a spin-off of RSSHub that helps you quickly discover and subscribe to RSS and RSSHub for your current site.
  • RSSPreview: Preview RSS feeds in-browser

Customization

  • Stylus: Redesign your favorite websites with Stylus, an actively developed and community driven userstyles manager.
  • Tampermonkey: Tampermonkey is the world's most popular userscript manager.

Advanced

  • Request Control: An extension for controlling requests. See also Redirector, not as powerful, but much more user friendly.
  • Modify Header Value (HTTP Headers): Add, modify or remove a header for any request on desired domains. I use this one to force sites to load only the image when opening images in new tabs.
  • Cookie AutoDelete: Control your cookies! This WebExtension is inspired by Self Destructing Cookies. When a tab closes, any cookies not being used are automatically deleted. Keep the ones you trust (forever/until restart) while deleting the rest. Containers Supported
  • uBlock Origin: Finally, an efficient wide-spectrum content blocker. Easy on CPU and memory.
  • uMatrix: [EDIT-WARNING: as pointed by @sovietknuckles@hexbear.net, uMatrix it's not longer maintained since 2021] Point & click to forbid/allow any class of requests made by your browser. Use it to block scripts, iframes, ads, facebook, etc.
