I just moved to Firefox and was wondering what extensions/themes people use and what’s reccomended
Also good just as a general post for all good Firefox Extensions & Themes ect.
Thanks!
If you use youtube a lot, Return YouTube Dislike, SponsorBlock & uBlock Origin. uBlock is still blocking ads on youtube.
On top of those I also use:
- pockettube: allows you to manage your subscriptions into categories (e.g. Music, Video Editing, News, Design Tutorials, etc.) and automatically creates playlists of new videos in each group.
- Enhancer for Youtube: adds convenient buttons, themes and loads of other features like automatically selecting your desired resolution.
- ublock origin (not just ublock)
- bitwarden as password manager
- Bypass Paywalls https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean
Bypass firewalls clean is the GOAT.
uBlock Origin is a must for ad blocking. Anything else is just extra flavour. I like SponserBlock and Return YT Dislikes.
Fwiw, this is the kind of thread I used to love The Other Site for. Glad to find one here!

Firefox is great mostly on its own, and I only use two extensions:
- uBlock Origin: Enough said.
- Disable Javascript: Works great for getting around a lot of paywalls.
In case you don’t know, Ublock origin can block JavaScript per site basis. Just hit the “more v” at the bottom
Some extensions used by me:
- uBlock Origin
- Firefox Translations (works on-device)
- LibRedirect (redirects from certain sites (like youtube) to their frontends (like invidious))
For android I also use
Android PDF.js
, to view pdf files on mobile.One that is more specific to Lemmy, which I am working on
While this is extension is mine and I have an obvious bias, I am using the extension constantly for my personal use as well. Might be nice for others too :)
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
fixed!
That’s something my extension actually helps with as well :)
Haven’t seen so far, so: ClearURLs
I like to recommend Privacypossum, it returns garbage data to tracking companies: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/privacy-possum/
My 2 cents:
- LeechBlock - for blocking distracting websites on schedules
- Unhook - for hiding YouTube recommended videos, comments and other distractions
- Privacy Badger - for blocking trackers
Must-have addons for tab hoarders like myself.
I use both often but how well does Tab Session Manager work for you? I’ve been using it for years and have had this issue for years where often when I’d try to restore a session, a bunch of tabs would be lost and replaced with blank new tab pages. It’s really frustrating when I trust the extension with session up to literally 100s of tabs.
I have to say I’ve never had that happen, but I mostly use it as backup in case Firefox’s own session restore fails or is overwritten somehow. I’m not sure what you can do, sorry :/
A few I have but haven’t seen:
- SVG Export
- Chameleon
- Behind The Overlay Revival
- JPEG XL viewer
- PassLok Image Steganography, which works:

This is AWESOME, thanks so much!
