Won't need that one once 2.0 rolls around, it's built in to Firefox itself.

Web Developer Toolbar! Can't live without (almost).
DOM Inspector
Bookmark Backup
Tabbrowser Preferences
NoScript (has kept me out of a lot of trouble and unnecessary datamining).
Googlebar Lite (why use the actual Google toolbar if you can avoid their datamining?)
Add N Edit Cookies (Always handy to bypass 'security'.)

No it's not SEO Quake (I've not heard of that one) when I'm back home at the weekend I'll check again.

Not to get very offtopic here, but does anyone know of an extension that I can simply highlight text (an URL that's not linked) and then right-click/etc. to goto that site? Basically, a replacement for "highlight, ctrl-c, click in URL box, ctrl-v, enter". I know -- I'm very lazy, but every time I have to copy/paste an unlinked URL, I think this kind of extension would be handy...

Mike
