Most of us use Firefox as our preferred browser. I use it myself. I have found many different extensions that Firefox offers along with user scripts that I use with the Greasemonkey and Stylish extensions. Check out the video below to get an idea of how the extensions that I use for customization work (you may want to watch it in full screen mode for a clear picture).
(NOTE: I had links to direct you to the extension for Firefox addons but they don’t seem to work. You would have to type in the name of the extension in Firefox addons to install. I apologize for the inconvenience and will try to figure out how to add the links.)
AutoPager 0.5.3.5
This extension automatically loads the next page of a variety of web sites when you reach the end of the page creating an infinite scrolling of the sites pages. To create custom autopaging for unsupported sites, you can use the included site wizard feature.

These are just a few of the top Firefox extensions that I have found to be useful. What are some of the Firefox extensions that you use that you would like to share with everyone?
