I started to post this in the "What Browser" topic but thought it should have its own topic. What extensions do you like to use in FF? Here's some of mine:

1.  Disable AutoPlay - Click to play by Ed Gar - Click to play by Ed Gar. It will disable most auto playing videos, etc. I found it after getting tired of all of the videos and popups on my local news site and it worked like a charm! Just click on the red square if you want to play the video:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/disableautoplay/

Edit: YES! It works on YouTube for auto playing videos, etc. :)

2.  Decentraleyes by Thomas Rientjes -  Protects you against tracking through "free", centralized, content delivery. It prevents a lot of requests from reaching networks like Google Hosted Libraries, and serves local files to keep sites from breaking. Complements regular content blockers:

3.  Privacy Badger -  Automatically learns to block hidden trackers. Made by the leading digital rights nonprofit EFF to stop companies from spying on you:

4.  DuckDuckGo Search & Tracker Protection by DuckDuckGo - I love this one! It will show you a list of all trackers blocked and what app or website it blocked them from:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/duckduckgo-for-firefox/

5.  ClearURLs by Kevin - Removes tracking elements from URLs. Great for copying and pasting without the extra stuff. ;)

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/clearurls/

6.  uBlock Origin by Raymond Hill - Finally, an efficient wide-spectrum content blocker. Easy on CPU and memory:

The best thing is that all of the blockers play nice with each other.  :hdan

I forgot to mention these two...

7.  WCAG Contrast checker -  Checks for compliance with the contrast levels of foreground and background colors combination based on the requirements of WCAG 2.. It's great for working on themes and colors.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/wcag-contrast-checker/

8.  Lightshot (screenshot tool) by Serg at SkillBrains, Andrej at SkillBrains - I JUST found this one and it works great! However, you may one one that isn't just Firefox-based.

Hmmm, a Privacy board, maybe in the lounge or somewhere private and only for users, would be welcomed. ;)

I have a lot of info and videos on it.

Ad Blocker ultimate and Ghostery are the two I use for FF. I thought I had more but musta not installed all of them back when I built this rig.
