Three required Firefox Add-ons:

These are the most important extensions for Firefox so that you will be in control of your browser when you visit web sites. As a side effect you will not see many advertisements with these Add-ons; you won't have to install ad-block add-ons / extensions because of their over-reliance on JavaScript and Flash.

NoScript

The most important add-on for Firefox. It lets you decide which sites are allowed to run JavaScript on your computer when you visit a web site.

JavaScript Options

Allows you to deny access of those scripts to specific browser "features". Uncheck the following options in this add-on to ensure that a web site won't be allowed to take control of your browser away from you:

Features

Windows

Flashblock

Block annoying, flashing, noisy, CPU cycle hoarding Flash unless you want to view it. Because NoScript will allow all Flash from a web site if you trust that site, which may be much more than you want.
