Alpha nerds- think for me! Firefox question

[northwind]

So I finally installed this firefox thing. And disappointingly it's as good as everyone says, the ba****ds. So, what else should I fit to this excellent thing? I've just got Adblock for it, anything else?

Don't need much else. I have foxmarks cos I work from several different machines and I like to sync bookmarks, and forecastfox for the hell of it.

I use flashblock to stop flash movies loading up by default. I can't remember if adblock does the same job though, I know it blocks quite a few since most of the flash stuff out there are ads.

i dont know what the big rave up about it is. ive got both but i never use firefox unless a video site needs it. i much prefer ie in my opinion

Well, so far it's done everything that IE does at least as well as IE does it, and it's faster and uses less resources. I like it most exactly because it's not life changing, it's just IE6 only better really.

I also have installed

Adbuction to allow me to convert sections of a web page into an image
plus the British English dictionary and then it will highlight pselling (deliberate) mishtakes when I type on the org.

Also have downthemall and firebug

I really like mouse gestures

Check out some themes. Completely pointless but pretty it up nontheless.

I have a rather funky Super Mario one at present.
