Our October meeting in the Copenhagen Perl Mongers is planned to be a Lightning-talk session on Firefox plugins and extensions. A sort of show-and-tell about your favorite or perhaps most annoying feature/plugin.

i am currently going over my plugins so find out what I would like to present.
- System Proxy, a plugin to let Firefox use the System Proxy under OSX, too Mac specific, eventhough it has saved me a lot of time
- Live HTTP Headers, viewing headers as request are made, very useful when debugging requests, content-types etc. – it was however recommended to me by a fellow Perl-monger, so it might be taken
- DisableBackspaceNavigation, very simple very nice
- Firebug, I expect this to be picked by somebody else who is more well versed in Javascript debugging
- It’s all text, I used this a lot when blogging on http://use.perl.org/ but since I am now using MacJournal, I do not use it as often anymore
- NoScript, well what more can I say – it is sometimes incredibly annoying, but at the same time it is nice to control your browsing in unknown unchartered waters
- WebDeveloper, nice, I used it a lot when working for a particular client, but currently I am not doing a lot of layout – but I am sure it will come in handy again sometime in the future, again a widely used plugin, so it might be picked up by somebody else
- Speed Dial, Opera had it – nice feature, nice plugin
- Keyconfig, I installed this due to issues with Firefox and editing stuff, since the <command>-<arrow> is used to move the cursor in many editors, it teased me in Firefox (see: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20090118145518767)
Plugins I have for long wanted to get started with:
- YSlow, grading your website and helping address performance issues
- Selenium, automated testing of web pages
The meeting is not until late October, so I have some time to figure out what I want to contribute with
