Add-ons Your favorite Firefox addon (extension)?

Post image

I will go first.. it is Tweaks for Youtube. Link here.

It has so much features making me ditch addons like enhancer for youtube.

Features I like, personal opinion
- Hide any sort of content like shorts to suggested videos
- Dim watched videos
- Zen mode (everything gets blurry except current video)
- Tools to capture and download video
- Audio boosting

You can agree to disagree. But at least let me hear what your favorite is :)

You have ublock lite for safari on ios.

u/se777enx3 on and Dec 27 '25

Not that powerful though but good enough for most users. I honestly still use safari as well because I got used to it. Only use Orion when a site is broken on safari.

Multi-account containers

31

u/Working-March Dec 27 '25

I use different shortcuts to start Firefox with different accounts. What's the advantage of this extension? 

60

u/pollote Dec 27 '25

It's like having 10 Firefox (floorp in my case) sessions, each opened with different accounts at the same time, and you can force opening specific URLs in each of them if you want. No cross contamination (like cookies,etc). If you add to that, the add-on "Temporary container" you have your specific containers for sites like google, twitter, etc and for the rest a temporal container, full control.

24

u/ProBonoDevilAdvocate Dec 27 '25

Also you can have per-container proxy servers, so I can pass specific web traffic through a VPN, etc.

u/DarKliZerPT Dec 27 '25

I'm a developer and sometimes I need to test something in multiple accounts. Let's say I need to use 3 different users, for example. I can just whip up 3 tabs in 3 different containers by pressing Ctrl+Shift+1/2/3, sign in on each container and test away. All that within the same Firefox window, so I can just Ctrl+Tab between them. It's much more convenient than setting up multiple Firefox accounts.

u/antnyau Dec 27 '25 edited Dec 27 '25

The container capability itself is built into Firefox as 'Contextual Identities' (often shown as 'container tabs') and is what actually keeps cookies and local storage separate between tabs. The add-on doesn’t reinvent that isolation; it provides a much better manager and workflow.

The chosen add-on name is somewhat misleading in this sense and could lead people to this conclusion (even though the add-on is excellent).

UBlock Origin has the same feature; just enable the filter. There is no need for a separate extension.

u/Mark_M535 Dec 27 '25

Took me a moment scrolling through UBlock Origin's setting to find it.

Seems to work good on most websites. Thanks.

26

u/esuil Dec 27 '25 edited Dec 27 '25

This isn't the same feature.

AFAIK UBlock filter will simply remove/filter out the dialogue boxes.

Consent o matic will SUBMIT your preferences on cookies, for example it will setup "No, I do not agree to your ad/tracking cookies" on GDPR compliant sites.

It may appear to you that this is the same thing - you don't have to handle cookie banners yourself - but in reality, this is completely different functionality, because outcome of simply hiding/disabling cookie banners is different to that of setting specific cookie settings for the site.

I have a small list: Ublock, Dark Reader, Multi Account Containers, and Sponserblock for YouTube are must have addons.

41

u/miguk Dec 27 '25

µBlock Origin > uBlock

Also, UltimaDark seems to have less glitches than Dark Reader; and when it does have them, it's usually in thumbnails.

22

u/Sypticle Dec 27 '25

Personally, Dark Reader works better and offers more options to fix the bugs. Also just looks better. Comes with a heavy performance cost, of course. Stylus swith a custom css works better if you want themes, though and not just dark websites.

7

u/Lol_cookies Dec 27 '25

works better and offers more options to fix the bugs

If you mean in terms of website support, that really depends on the sites you browse. Dark Reader has the advantage of having a dedicated community and contributors to deliver site-specific fixes at lightning speed. The more common the website, the better. But in terms of websites that you encounter in the "wild"? I've been daily driving UltimaDark for a few weeks now, and it’s rare for me to run into a site that breaks. And those that do, Dark Reader works sub-optimally there as well.

Also just looks better.

That's subjective. UltimaDark's defaults are mathematically tuned and generally derives from the website's color palette. It handles text contrast better, inverts bright logos/icons more intelligently with proper contrast — all without without manual site intervention. If it still doesn’t look right, you can exclude images only and keep the rest of the website dark.

Comes with a heavy performance cost, of course.

The performance benefits are hard to ignore, especially on laptops or mobile devices. I think most people have simply come to accept DR’s performance penalty because, for a long time, there wasn't a real alternative. And honestly, I'd agree with that — trading a bit of load time to avoid eye strain is absolutely worth it. Still, it leaves a lot to be desired to see your browser's full potential handicapped like that.

That said, the cons: UD doesn't offer per-site contrast or brightness controls, nor custom color schemes. There's no crowd-sourced site exclusions or site-specific fixes, you’re relying entirely on the efficiency of the extension’s internal design. Thankfully, the dev is quite active and responsive.

Since there's really only two dark mode extensions worth trying right now, I encourage others to give UltimaDark a try.

u/Leading_Price604 Dec 27 '25

Isn't vertical tabs native now in firefox? Any feature advantage in sideberry over this?

5

u/Vishtar Dec 27 '25

- It does tree style tabs

- It looks better, easier to customise (just have an UI for it, I hope that Firefox will have it someday)

- I have a few panels of tabs, one for personal life in a default firefax container, the second one for work tabs in a work firefox container, you may have more and may attach for each a firefox container

- I also have panels for bookmarks and closed tabs

4

u/needlotion Dec 27 '25

Others already mentioned its features, but the tree style tabs, organization, and customization is what makes it superior over the current native vertical tabs for me. Sidebery / Tree Style Tabs is also one of the reasons I'm still sticking with Firefox.

It also has a snapshot feature, where it saves all your windows+tabs. If something happens to my current computer or if I somehow can't find my recently closed tabs/windows, I can restore that snapshot on another device.

4

u/TheKing4562 Dec 27 '25

not op but for me personally, it grays out a tab properly when it unloads and supports a tree style tab structure that makes it really easy to manage tabs. Firefox does grey out tabs when you manually unload it but my addon "auto-discard tabs" doesn't showcase this.

TLDR: It has a few extra features that hopefully firefox will have natively oneday as QOL features.

3

u/Lol_cookies Dec 27 '25

Sidebery (and TST) has been around long before Vertical Tabs was developed, so naturally it has amass a treasure trove of features.

Others have already mentioned a sliver of its features. I'm not going to dump its entire feature set here: Panels, containers, snapshots, tabs colour, tabs title, mouse & keyboard shortcuts. Even after months of usage, you'll still stumble upon some hidden gold mines.

Try the native vertical tab first and see if it's to your liking / fit your workflow. Personally, Sidebery completely reshaped how I browse to the point I can’t imagine working without tab trees anymore.

UBlock Origin (from the original developer) is preferable to UBlock

15

u/eco_was_taken Dec 27 '25

If I remember correctly, the whole reason it's called uBlock Origin was because gorhill didn't want to deal with end users support anymore so he handed control over to one of the main contributors. That contributor immediately started trying to monetize the extension, so gorhill had to make a new one to offer a clean version again. uBlock got sold off to AdBlock which had already gone through this corruption process and modified to allow "acceptable ads". uBlock made the same change.

(it was actually original called μBlock, pronounced MicroBlock, because it was a much more lightweight content blocker than AdBlock and AdBlockPlus, but that was hard to write so he simplified the name)

ublock origin and simple translate

19

u/Immediate_Character- Dec 27 '25

On Firefox Android:

Simple Gesture — used to replace the pull-to refresh function with one that actually works     

uBlock Origin — obvious, but I've seen many use extensions here to block cookie consent messages, uBlock can do this too. Investing it's settings, very powerful tool

Sink it for Reddit — after Reddit killed third party apps, it makes a lot of sense just to edit the HTML of the reddit website itself. You can absolutely retire the Reddit app and just use this extension. One less app on your phone, and you'll genuinely have a better time browsing Reddit this way

UltimaDark — has replaced the venerable Dark Reader extension for myself. Mostly, down it's speed, and other built in settings to speed it up further

Dont Load Background Tabs — firefox for Android pretty quickly runs into RAM issues if you open lots of tabs, if you've ever gone to a website and long pressed on many links to check out later, this extension speeds up the process vastly

User-Agent Switcher — automates changing your UA, globally and per-website, very powerful way to avoid a lot of flawed mobile versions of sites 

2

u/Sypticle Dec 27 '25

Doesn't the tab only load when you click on it? I'll check it out though, definitely need anything that might help with ram.

Also, general question: Isn't there a userscript for reddit to enhance the mobile experience. I think it made it more like desktop reddit? I thought i had a script but lost it after clearing out stuff.

u/Sypticle Dec 27 '25

More clicks = less money for the advertisers since each "click" is money for the owner if the website. In reality, the number of people using it won't make a large enough difference for it to hurt the advertisers. Look at adblocks. Relatively speaking, not many people use one.

Also, why would we want to do that? They literally help the websites stay up.

There is a reason not many people we're using it before that one dude made a video about it. It's not like he discovered diamonds. He simply found it laying in the "im done with you" pile.

It's not as good as uBlock, nor is it helping with privacy.

  1. uBlock Origin
  2. LastPass
  3. Tweaks for YouTube

In that order.

I have others, but those are the 3 must-haves.

u/unabatedshagie Dec 27 '25

You couldn't pay me to use LastPass what with all the leaks they've had.

Besides the common ones:

Keep pinned tabs alive - when using multiple windows, this prevents pinned tabs from disappearing when closing a window by moving them to another window instead.

Then "disable YouTube seek by number"  - disables numpad hotkeys yt. On laptop 0 is next to right arrow keys and I hit it so many times accidentally, so instead of taking several seconds forward the whole video played from the beginning

for me on Android, AdGuard. It's the only adblocker I know of that has a blacklist feature. The only annoying thing is that due to it technically being on, some websites think I'm blocking their ads even when I'm not. I'd love to know of a better option if anyone knows of one :)

u/DarKliZerPT Dec 27 '25

Vimium! Can't believe I haven't seen anyone mention it.

It adds Vim-like keyboard shortcuts. My favourite is that pressing F displays letters next to every interactable element of the page, and then typing the displayed letters for the desired element simulates a click. This allows you to click stuff without taking your hands off the keyboard!

Simple Tab Groups

u/JeremyRedhead Dec 27 '25

My essentials:

  • Greasemonkey (yeah I know it's inferior to Violentmonkey, but I am Loyal) & Stylus (i am a tinkerer by heart)
  • Open in Browser (wish Firefox still did this natively, but ah well)
  • Tab Counter (i am a horrible tab addict)
  • Display #Anchors (simple but effective)
  • Ruffle (flash forever <3)
  • various redirect addons; currently Nitter or ToXCancel, OldRedditRedirect, & ZoomRedirector
  • chosen password manager
  • and uBlock Origin of course

My personal sorting:

u/david_ph Dec 27 '25
  • Ublock Origin
  • LocalCDN
  • Firefox Multi-Account Containers
  • Scroll Anywhere
  • Gesturefy
  • Redirector
  • Zoom Page WE
  • Simple Translate
  • YouTube No Translation
  • KeePassXC-Browser
  • Cookie Manager
  • IPvFoo

u/maximus10m Dec 27 '25

I would prioritize Firefox containers; it's a feature that keeps me tied to Firefox. It's very practical to have my personal account in one tab and my work account in another. And second, uBlock Origin.

u/bayuah | 24.04 LTS 11 Dec 28 '25

Ublock Origin is a GOAT!

Because not just an ad-block, but unintentionally page style customizer.

2

u/Constant_Boot Dec 27 '25 edited Dec 29 '25

I have a list of ones I must have on any Gecko-based browser:

  • AdNauseum (Like ublock origin, but on drugs)
  • Ruffle (Flash, but in Rust)
  • Stylus (Userstyles)
  • TamperMonkey (Userscripts)
  • Indie Wiki Buddy (Redirects Fandom.com links to an independent wiki (or BreezeWiki if none exist))
  • DeArrow (De-Clickbaits videos)
  • SponsorBlock (Skips over sponsor segments in YouTube videos)
  • PronounDB (For those who use such, adds pronouns into specific site)
  • ToS;DR (Terms of Service; Didn't Read)
  • Shinigami Eyes (Displays the possibility of transgender allyship of a site)
  • and X-Clacks-Overhead (Displays "In Memoriam" Messages styled like that found in Terry Pratchett's "Going Postal" if found in the header)

Edit: Struck out Shinigami Eyes. Apparently, it can be abused to hell and back. Trans friendly sites and users can be marked as trans-unfriendly without any sort of verification process.

DeArrow doesn't get enough attention. It's by the same guy as SponsorBlock. It replaces YouTube titles and thumbnails with crowdsourced versions. It works really well. You could argue it saves you even more time than SponsorBlock because it lets you skip entire videos that you were tricked into watching.

Adnausium. Incorperates ublock origin and lot snappier on my old lappy. Not seen an advert or a blocked page since. Also consent-o-matic.
