I happen to be a devout Firefox user, and ever since I've gotten it I have needed to use extensions to make my browsing experience better. Where?update.mozilla.org/ or extensionroom.mozdev.org/ or extensions.roachfiend.com. Or try a google search. How?update.mozilla.org is automaticly on your allow list for installing software. To add a site to your allow list, click on tools/options/web features/allowed sites. Allow whichever site that you want to allow to this list. NOTE: Never allow a questionable site to install software on your computer.Extensions to getThe extensions that I would highly reccommend would be the following: AdblockYOU MUST GET THIS EXTENSION. This extension allows you to delete any image or java or flash application that you do not like. You will never see these items again. You can also set filters, such as */ads/* or */banners/*. Adblock downloadbugmenotEver get sick of having to register (for free) to a site to access some of it's features? Examples of this can be seen in newyorktimes.com. Bugmenot allows you to right click in a form and select "Bugmenot" to search the bugmenot database for a user who has decided share his screenname and password with the public. Bugmenot downloadStumbleUponAfter you have been on the internet for a while, it may get boring. You may think that there aren't any cool sites left out there. Well you are WRONG. Fill out a quick form that asks you what you like, and click stumble and you are sure to find a cool site! Stumbleupon download

Hey, thanks for the great info. I've not really noticed that I needed to add any extensions to the software, but I did have one time that I needed to add a plugin to firefox. That is totally different from IE, where I was installing a plugin about every day. It got boring and maddening to say the least.

Hey I fiddled around with those extensions too - but can someone tell me if there's a way to DOWNLOAD them separately and plug them into firefox, coz I didn't manage to do so. Only way I figured is if you download them through firefox, in which case, they get unpacked and installed directly into the browser directory... But say if I reinstall my OS I need to re-download them again. What if I just download and keep all of them saved up -> how do I get firefox to find and install them then ?? Thanks

easy microscopic^earthling where is a short tutorial: When you find and extension, it's have a extension .xpi, right click and download to your pc. (personally i recomend too http://www.extensionsmirror.nl)ok, when you want to install the extension: 1) open firefox 2) Goto Tools Menu / Extensions 3) Drag the .xpi file to the extension windows 4) Click on Install and you have to restart firefox That's, when you for example reinstall firefox, just find your favorites extensions and reintall it Greets Deivid

Wooo.. it's THAT EASY ?? Thanks a lot deivid.. lol.. I'd tried everything except good old drag & drop.... And I was wondering all this while - why I couldn't use the downloaded extensions like Thunderbird, which lets you load the extensions off your hard drive. Thanks

My favorite extension: noScript (but it adds to your workload  Pros: By default, noScript disables javascript, java, popups, flash and many other things that are annoying to people who just like to read text and view simple images. It keeps a list of websites with non-default properties for each of them, so that you can allow your bank, favorite websites, etc to have whatever properties you want available to them. I was amazed when I first used this extension, how much of what I browsed did not even need javascript. When it does, noScript provides easy ways to enable what you need, either temporarily or permanently, by website. I find noScript eliminates 90% of the annoyances that intrusive websites try to deliver to your desktop, and it certainly prevents cross-site scripting and other potential risks when you visit an unknown website. Cons: (1) If the website you are visiting wants to do something by scripting, and it doesn't announce the fact, noScript may be preventing something essential. (My domain signup here was probably delayed a day or two because I didn't realize the signup page was trying to popup a window.) (2) If you are in the middle of a form, press "Submit" and nothing happens, you must then carefully copy the material you have entered to the clipboard or another safe place before enabling scripts. Enabling them often results in a reload of the page and possible loss of what has been filled in. It is worth noting here that many (cgi) scripts DO function properly without javascript. (3) New versions of noScript come out about weekly these days. Be prepared to put up with reminders to upgrade relatively frequently. I am fully aware of both the pros & cons, and would not be caught in Firefox without noScript!

I posted a list of extensions I use here: http://www.astahost.com/firefox-extensions-t11366.htmlCould you guys go to that topic and add the extensions you guys like? In about a week or so I am going to make it a poll to find out what the best extension is. I also recommend you install most of the extensions on my list, especially fasterfox. (it is a must)

 yeah. It does help a little, and if your connections out, firefox will be the first thing regain internet access even when your connection says it's not there.

That's cool then. Like I said usually people who say these boosters have an awesome speed increase... it means pages load in a minute rather then 2 haha. But yea if it actually boosts speeds noticeably on a high speed connection I'll have to check it out
