Firefox extensions

OK, a few more of my favorites:

Firefox extensions:

Sessionsaver - Restores all browser-windows + tabs after shutdown or a crash (install)

GooglePreview - inserts preview images (thumbnails) of web sites and Amazon products into the Google and Yahoo search results pages. (install)

Greasemonkey extensions:

Mailto compose in Gmail - makes mailto: links start a new Gmail message (install)

LJ New Comments - Shows which LJ entries have new comments since you've last read. (install

Saft. It's not freeware, but I consider it essential for Safari. It does *far* more than session saving, but that's the largest reason I got it.

There's at least one other comparable Safari add-on, also not freeware, but they're mutually exclusive, so I don't have it, and I don't recall its name at the moment...

Thank you! This is wonderful!

It doesn't have real session-saving like Opera did. That part is just a little hack that remembers the URLs you had open, and automatically re-opens them all. I suppose it's probably really hard to have real session-saving in an extension, if it's not built in to the browser. Still, this is a lot better than nothing at all! And some of the other features are really nice too.
