Oh, and tell us about your favorite plugins in the comments!

Zemanta

Zemanta is very useful for bloggers, because when you write a post, Zemanta browses the Internet for related pictures and links you can add to your post. We all know that 50% of a blog post is searching for pictures and links to link the words you want, but Zemanta makes it really easy for you. It also features other cools stuff, such as re-posting content you find on the Net. It integrates especially well with Wordpress. Just open an editing tab with Zemanta on, and see what happens ;)

DownThemAll!
An awesome Download Manager. Speeds up the downloads a bit and enables you to resume them, also has a cool “DTaOneClick” feature, that makes it easy to download files to desired directories with just one click. It also doesn’t bug you like the default Download Manager.

BugMeNot Firefox plugin

Every wanted to just check out some text or a part of content in a site that you’re not registered on, but requires you to be? Save time with the Bugmenot extension.

“BugMeNot will log in for you automatically using user-submitted passwords. Features: multiple login attempts, failure reporting, and auto-submittal.”

Foxmarks

Yeah, it simply synchronizes bookmarks. BUT! Now it can also store passwords and share them between Firefox setups. You unlock them using your PIN. It’s not that safe, but I believe many people will find it very useful. Of course, there’s always Weave if you need more functions.

RoboForm

Another time saver, especially if you have to sign up for different thins very often:

“If you use RoboForm for web form filling, site logins, and/or password management, be sure to use the extension for Firefox.”

    I actually love the RoboForm software myself. I use it all of the time and it takes all of the menial everyday tasks that I have to perform on my computer daily and shortens them extremely! What once took me fifteen minutes to complete now takes me only one second because RoboForm does the same task with just one click. In fact I wrote a Report about a lot of RoboForm’s capabilities for use that aren’t even touched on in the User’s Manual for RoboForm. You can get that Report here:

    There is also a FREE version of RoboForm that you can download on this web page, just to test the RoboForm software out for yourself! I highly recommend it!
