  2.0
  (21KB)
   Bob Brown
  Allows cleaning up a page prior to printing it   Once you've read the options on the webpage, this
  is probably the best extension for viewing, examining a section,
  or printing a difficult to isolate selection of a page.  Select
  text, right click, start Aardvark, W for Wider (several times), I
  for isolate, or R for remove, F5 to reset.  Test this [2].  Uninstall pre 2.0 then install 2.0., did not
  detect Dec 16, 2006 update.

  [Options] [Context][Status Bar
• Throbber Button
  ♦
  
  0.9 (22kb)RacerEnables
  four links of your choice by clicking on the throbber [Options].
• UnHide fields (version)
  (13KB)iDoview and edit hidden fields in forms... [context] ("Show Hidden Fields")
• Useless Extensions 
• ChromEdit
• IE Tab (170KB) is a decent extension, but Launchy (28KB) covers
  all browsers, and editors and a lot more so IE Tab would be redundant.
• Tab Mix Plus (TMP) (315KB) is a very big unnecessary extension as most wanted features
  are covered better in Options, user preferences, and small userChrome.css addition, and
  Firefox 2.0 has a builtin session manager.  The Tab Configuration settings can be
  seen together on-site in tabs_config, extracted from About:config entries - MozillaZine Knowledge Base.  Would recommend against installing in your default Firefox profile
  but would be good to have in a profile for checking bad links because of the ability to Freeze a tab
  (which combines two other tab options)
  so that the tab won't be accidentally deleted, but more important is to force links in such a tab to open in a new tab because such things could destroy the style changes inserted for checking bookmarks
  or a bookmarklet included for readability (in such a profile with TMP also include Link Checker, Launchy, CopyURL Plus (with your customizations), and Quick Restart)
