I've been using Firefox for quite awhile, and never looked back. In case anyone is interested, here's the list of extensions that I find to be extremely useful. I also recommend checking out
www.widefox.com. I use a widescreen laptop, and this a terrific way to maximize vertical browsing space!
- Adblock Filterset.G Updater 0.3.0.4 -- Eliminate those pesky ads on websites.
- Adblock Plus 0.7.2.2 -- Goes with above.
- Aging Tabs 0.4.9 -- Shades tabs progressively darker with age.
- All-in-One Sidebar 0.7.1 -- Bookmarks, downloads, history, add-ons all in a handy sidebar.
- ChromEdit Plus 2.5.5 -- Edit the Chrome (controls look of the user interface) from within Firefox
- CuteMenus - Crystal SVG 1.8.1 -- Adds nifty icons beside every menu item.
- Extension List Dumper 1.2.1 -- How I got this list!
- FireBug 0.4.1 -- Handy for web development.
- FireFTP 0.94.6 -- FTP extension mentioned above.
- Forecastfox 0.9.3.1 -- Weather in your system bar: current, forecasted, and warnings.
- IE Tab 1.2.0.20061120 -- Opens pesky "IE only" pages in Firefox (I prefer this to IE View).
- IE View Lite 1.2.5 -- Opens pesky "IE only" pages in IE (works for everything as it actually opens IE).
- MeasureIt 0.3.6 -- Measure graphics (or anything, really) on a website in pixels.
- PDF Download 0.7.6 -- Dynamically decide what you want to do with PDF files.
- QuickNote 0.6.0.3 -- Notepad in a tab. I use it for Internet research.
