Nifty Addons for Firefox

Print-Edit
Allows editing of the web page content while in Print Preview mode. Editing the web page prior to printing can compact the layout and remove unwanted content such as adverts, sidebars and blank pages. Any element can be formatted, hidden or deleted.
I just used it to print out some recipes, without all the web ads, etc. Turns a 10 page print out of a web site into a 3 or 4 page item.

 AddThis.
AddThis for Firefox is the best add-on to make sharing and bookmarking simple. Have all your favorite web 2.0 social networking, bookmarking, blogging, and e-mail services at your fingertips. Share any page, anytime, with anyone.
Makes it easy to send a link to your blog, facespace, email, etc.  I use it a lot.

 CoLT
CoLT (short for "Copy Link Text") makes it easy to copy either a link's text, or both the link text and its URL in a format you specify. This non-invasive extension simply appears as context menu items when you right-click a link. Fully customizable!
I use CoLT All. The. Time. Especially handy for copying in either HTML format--for posting in blogs, or blog comments--or BB Code, for posting to bulletin boards or other sites that use it, such as Emergency-Preps.com or Shooters Northwest.
