OK, Last post today unless something happens. I promise.

I downloaded and installed a DEV build of the TabMixPlus add-on. It seems to work.

So, I uninstalled Firefox 2.0.0.14 and am completely on Firefox 3.0 RC2 now.

I uninstalled the FireFTP add-on and installed the stand-alone FileZilla FTP client.

I only need the TabMizPlus add-on now!

I am back on Firefox V3 after researching and finding "the solution". I say "the solution" because I do not like it. "The solution" is to go into Internet Explorer (IE) and under the tools/security/zones, modify the settings. It really sucks that Firefox deferred to Vista/IE for this.

I went back to Firefox V2.

I found that I could not download naything in FF3, something about my Security Zone Settings blocking it.

It works fine in Firefox V2, though.

Since RedShift is not yet ready, I am using the "In The Dark" theme with Firefox V3. The "PitchDark" theme is also V3-ready and is another choice.

Still no TabMixPlus nor FireFTP. And the RedShift theme is not yet ready. However, FireFox V3RC2 is out!

You should really consider adding 'showcase'to the list...it's awesome, and works with FF3.

The most important for all developers is firebug .....is elementary .... you miss it up on the list.......
until the version for ff3 is not set up, some of us won't install it.

Found your site via LifeHacker.

Thanks for recommending these add-ons. There is so much choice when it comes to FF add-ons that it can be a time consuming process just going through the install-test-delete cycle.

The only problem I've had has been with RC1 and web developer toolbar. For some reason FF would randomly fail to load up CSS and images for sites. I've temporarily disabled WD toolbar and the problem has gone away.

20 top addons, definetly not the top 20 though!! It's not that hard to see what's compatible these days, AMO only shows the "Add to Firefox" button for those that support your browser version.

Of the top 20 most popular firefox addons can be found at AMO only 6 don't make the FF 3.0 cut. And I see at least two I know I use regularly that you've missed off the list :)

Top 20 Addons: https://addons.mozilla.org/...

#3: FlashGot - https://addons.mozilla.org/...
#11: PDF Download - https://addons.mozilla.org/...

(For some reason PicLens doesn't list it's compatible, but if you've got it installed from an earlier version you can update and use it tho)

My heart almost stopped when I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04 and realized not all my add-ons had been converted for Firefox 3, which is the default browser with the distro. Luckily, by far and away the most useful extension is for my del.icio.us bookmarks. The del.icio.us sidebar is actually *more* useful than the website itself, since it allows you to sort your tabs and bookmarks by alphabet. I'm totally keyed in to having an online bookmark account (I'm regularly at 4 different computers, and it's a lifesaver if I need to hop on someone else's machine and get to a critical site), but I don't care about the sharing aspect, and haven't found a decent site to top del.icio.us, despite its shortcomings.

You so did not just forget Firebug! Go try out 1.2 beta!

Hi, thanks for all the add-ons! I think you might have left out Piclens, which is an awesome image viewer when surfing for images.

Mouse gestures... After using Opera for my default browser for a while, I can say with some good certainty, that the novelty of mouse gestures might wear off, but only in the same manner which the novelty of having a GPS in your car would wear off. It will never cease to be there, you will continue to use it, and it will continue to be useful.
