Firefox Extensions: Your favorite or most useful

Extension does more but actually all you need is a few lines in userchrome.css to combine stop/reload:

/* combine STOP and RELOAD buttons ------ */
#stop-button[disabled="true"] { display:none; }
#stop-button:not([disabled]) + #reload-button { display:none; }

Be sure stop button is to the left of reload before you apply or it wont work. Possibly the other way round  8)

There are also tricks/extensions for hiding tab-bar/toolbars, like bookmark bar only show when you hover mouse at menu bar for example. Annoying but some like it.

Miniflat is plain ugly  8) Matter of taste but Littlefox is more designed for maximum pixels https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/307/ 

Autohidestatusbar gives you more pixels, works very well http://caspar.regis.free.fr/ahs/

TinyMenu http://www.arantius.com/article/tiny-menu helps too.

No time or effort. I forgot Infolister http://mozilla.doslash.org/infolister/ which was mentioned earlier  :) You can modify output so I put description variable in bbcode template. With some tweaking fancy pages can be made in html http://mozilla.doslash.org/infolister/templates/

Have just tried Save As Image https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3358/ in case Screenshot Capture dont work this should do.
