There are heaps of these type posts, “50 best…”, “10 must have’s for Firefox” etc… you know what I mean. But this post stood out in that these types of posts usually have the same old stuff that everyone has seen before.
This post called “20 must-have Firefox extensions” is a little different in that there are extensions here that I never knew existed. Sure some I have, but then there are others that I have not, it is the “have not’s” that I enjoyed in this post.
“These plug-ins give you souped-up functionality, better look and feel, and streamlined development tasks. And some are just plain cool.”
– 20 must-have Firefox extensions
I think that is the key, these extensions are niche focused, more of these please. We have seen the top 10 too many times, a pleasure to read something with a specific focus.
Check out the post from Computerworld. I am not going to re-blog the article. It is worth reading it for yourself. But there is a nice summary of each extension suggested and easy to drill down what you want out of it.

I use 10 out of those 20… nothing that new in the list.
I wish corporate sites like Computerworld would get out of their “more pageviews!” mentality where you have to see 5 pages to read that list and see approximately 250% more ads than content.
I wonder why Ad-block didn’t make their list of extensions? 🙂

I agree with the ads but still there are some extensions there that I had not heard of that I thought were good.

Firebug and the web dev toolbar are extensions I cannot live without!
