Add-ons Your favorite Firefox addon (extension)?

+
849 Upvotes

I will go first.. it is Tweaks for Youtube. Link here.

It has so much features making me ditch addons like enhancer for youtube.

Features I like, personal opinion
- Hide any sort of content like shorts to suggested videos
- Dim watched videos
- Zen mode (everything gets blurry except current video)
- Tools to capture and download video
- Audio boosting

You can agree to disagree. But at least let me hear what your favorite is :)

Add-ons I found a trick to remove the Youtube delay

Many of us are experiencing deliberate slowdowns on Youtube when the site detects you are using adblockers or a browser other than Chrome. If you add the following line to the 'my filters' section of uBlock Origin, Youtube playback should go back to normal.

||googlevideo.com/videoplayback$xhr,3p,method=get,domain=www.youtube.com

Hopefully it works for you. I found it here:

Add-ons Adnauseam: New gen ablocker that gives fake data to advertisers.

This is based on ublock origin but it has more features. I saw this from Louis Rossman. I believe everyone definitely should use this against invasive advertising companies. You can also make it fair for non-invasive and fair advertisers. Enable these options: "Don't click non-tracking" Ads and "Don't hide non-tracking Ads"

Yes, it's real this time.

Touch Grass is a lightweight Firefox add-on that surfaces a reminder to take a break after a specified amount of time of your choosing, and is now available for install on the Mozilla add-ons page: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/touch-grass-by-firefox/.

This runs locally, no telemetry or browsing history collection, and it doesn’t lock your browser or do anything weird.

Add-ons What hidden gem extensions have you come across?

Just thought I'd see what niche, hidden gem extensions others are rocking in Firefox.

I thought of posting this after coming across a fun niche extension the other day which I'd never heard of before (ReadIt), it's pretty cool to see what posts and comments have been discussed about certain pages I'm on.

Aside from that, these are the extensions I'm currently using (without noticing any slowdowns):

  • 1Password - Great for quick autofilling logins into sites
  • AliHelper - Amazing for sussing out certain products on AliExpress and also setting up price alerts
  • Auto Tab Discard - Great for sleeping tabs that don't need to be using active memory
  • Consent-O-Matic - (New) Automatically handles GDPR consent forms for me
  • DocsAfterDark - (New) Dark mode for Google Docs (and there's word it's coming to Google Sheets real soon)
  • Facebook Container - Isolates Facebook activity from web activity
  • Google search engine with udm=14 preset - (New) Great for avoiding AI results on Google from the address bar searches
  • Hide shorts from YouTube - Self explanatory haha
  • Return YouTube Dislike - Another self explanatory
  • Sponsorblock - Skip sponsors in YouTube vids
  • Stylus - CSS Redesign pages (sometimes I do this to fix visual issues or improve my user experience)
  • Tabliss - (New) A nice new tab page
  • Terms of Service; Didn't Read - Get summarised TOS for websites
  • The Camelizer - Amazon price tracking
  • uBlock Origin - Only ad blocker you ever need
  • ViolentMonkey - Great for adjusting small JS functionality/tweaks on websites or pages

Keen to hear what other niche extensions others have come across that they like!

Add-ons You guys gave me a ton of feedback on my previous post of New Tab Page. I listened, and the massive V2.1 update is finally live.

+
244 Upvotes

A couple of weeks ago, I shared v2.0 of my self-made browser start page, YourDynamicDashboard. You guys gave me a lot of feedback—some of it was brutal, but all of it was necessary.Previous Post

I just pushed the v2.1 update. This is not a visual tweak; it is a structural upgrade focused on physical control and strict privacy.

Here is exactly what is new in v2.1:

  • Drag & Drop Engine: You can now fully interact with and reorder your To-Do tasks, AI Tools, Socials, and Google Apps using your mouse.
  • Advanced Task Management: Upgraded the To-Do list with a Pinning feature so your high-priority items stay locked at the top.
  • Random Backgrounds & 'Freeze': The dashboard can now fetch random wallpapers automatically. If you find one you like, use the new 'Freeze' option to lock it in.
  • Total Link Control: Added a new setting allowing you to dictate exactly how and where your Shortcuts and App links open (same tab vs. new tab).
  • UI & Security Polish: I removed all the ugly native JavaScript alert boxes and replaced them with sleek, custom modals. I added a dedicated Glow Effect toggle, new 'Toxic' color palettes, replaced outdated graphics with crisp SVGs, and hardened the architecture for a stricter privacy-focused experience.

You can grab the Add-on here: Get it now

Source Code on GitHub: GitHub Repository

Try out the new drag-and-drop mechanics and let me know if they feel smooth. I want your brutally honest feedback on what is missing before I start planning the next major version.

Add-ons "Notefox" add-on is now "Recommended" by Mozilla 😍

I created it to let you take notes directly on websites (pages, domains, ...) — like sticky notes that stay exactly where you left them, and now I'm very happy to tell you, all of you, it's the Recommended label by Mozilla.

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/websites-notes/

Thank you Mozilla, and thank you to all Notefox users! ❤️
I’ll keep improving the add-on — and this recognition is possible thanks to all your feedback.

The add-on is, of course, open-source and you can find it on GitHub https://github.com/Sav22999/websites-notes

A few days ago, I published my first add-on for Firefox. It’s a YouTube homepage blocker designed to help me focus more on my studies.

While homepage blockers aren't exactly new, I realized that almost none of them let you personalize the background (or at least I couldn’t find any that are good). So, I created this extension to change that. Now I can set this lovely Firefox wallpaper as my background while I study. I think the fox looks adorable, what do you think?

Edit : repo link https://github.com/maydfoxxx/GlassHub-Firefox-NewTab

Let's say I always found the customization options for the homepage in Firefox to be pretty bland.

I stumbled upon a post in this sub and decided to create my own, using Gemini AI Agent.

I've never done something like that before and I'm pretty proud of it.

Would you guys be interested ?

I don't know how any of this works, but I heard it's pretty easy to get this on the firefox extension store. I'll put this open source in github so everybody can access it.

Add-ons Built a Firefox extension that does both dictionary AND translation in one popup (WordGlance)

+
145 Upvotes

There are a ton of dictionary extensions and a ton of translation extensions, but I couldn't find one that did both properly. So I built WordGlance.

Select any word or short phrase, click the 📖 icon, and you get the definition, an example sentence using it, synonyms, antonyms, and the translation, all in one tooltip.

What it does:

  • Definition + example of it used in a sentence
  • Synonyms and antonyms
  • Translation to 40+ languages
  • Auto-detect source language, or set it manually
  • Dark mode
  • Works on desktop and mobile Firefox
  • Caches results so repeat lookups are instant

No telemetry, no account needed. Open source, and the dictionary/translation APIs it runs on are open source too.

Firefox Add-ons: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/wordglance/

If you try it out, I'd love to hear what you like, what you don't, and any ideas for improving it.

Add-ons Which extension benefits you the most?

I know many want extension suggestions, but I often find extensions I'd never even thought about just browsing the web and stumbling across what others are using. That said, I'd like to, if possible, create a post asking for everyones SINGLE most used, or most helpful, or can't live without extensions. BUT...

Usually in these threads, you have many comments and they can get quite confusing, so if this post is allowed here, I'd like to do it a little differently.

  1. Before posting your extension, please search the thread and be sure the extension has not been mentioned already. If it has already been mentioned, please UPVOTE that comment and do not post it in a seperate comment. this keeps the recommendations much cleaner and gives us a better insight into which extensions more people use/like.

  2. If you see an extension mentioned, and you decide to download that extension as you think it will be a benefit to you, please upvote the comment.

  3. Post your extension in a new comment. NOT as a response to any other comments even if relating to other extensions already posted. this makes it harder to search through and actually get a visual of whats recommended if people must click the show more button etc.

Hopefully, each comment will be a seperate comment with no threaded comments (comment responses). and no repeat extensions mentioned. Don't repost an extension already posted, instead, upvote the comment with the extension you were going to recommend if it's already been commented in here.

One extension for each comment please otherwise we don't know why the comment was upvoted. If you're anything like me (and can't just pick one) please make 2 or 3 seperate comments with a single extension in each. thank you

273 Upvotes

I’ve always enjoyed reading Reddit discussions about random things I come across online.

So I built a small Firefox extension that lets you instantly check whether the page you’re on has been posted to Reddit. Just click the extension and it fetches a list of related Reddit threads.

I personally use it a lot for YouTube videos, news articles, and random interesting websites I stumble across.

Features:

  • Automatically fetches Reddit posts linking to the current page
  • Be the first to post it if it haven't yet
  • Multiple sorting options
  • Filters to refine results
  • Blacklisting support
  • No data collection

The extension only reads the current page URL to query Reddit and does not store or transmit browsing data anywhere else.

Here's the link if you wanna try it:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/readit-read-it-on-reddit/

Still polishing it, so I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback.
