OMG bbusybookworm, I just gotta say thanks for throwing out this topic to make me give FF a second look again. The extension list is phenominal, I had to call it quits after page 16 so I can try and get some sleep (it's well after 5:00am now, yikes!). I've been running FF2 for while, but never really saw any reason to use it over IE7 other than when I wanted to use anonymous proxies. Well let me tell you that FF3 & it's extensions have just made me switch over for good now! Now all I gotta do is get it loaded on a thumbdrive so I can take it with me when I have to use another system.
I won't list all the ton 'o extensions I loaded, but here are a few:
All the AdBlock ones I could find
BlockSite - get rid of pesky sites that slip under Google's radar
CS Lite - control pesky cookies that are no better than roaches
FoxyProxy & PhProxy - good for getting to sites restricted to a single area
noScript - let me control what scripts are run on my PC & what websites can run them
TinyMenu - all I want to see is the website, no joker toolbars
... and my favorite barring all the cool utilities
PicLens - You just gotta try this to see how cool it is. It basically makes viewing photos online so much more fun & cool... I just don't have the words for it. I have a lot of friends that use MySpace and this makes viewing albums there so much easier... and did I mention cool! Works with YouTube too. Man I love this app!
Anyway, thanks for making me give FF another look. I'm sold!
