October 31, 200619 yr ok well i am somewhat new to fire fox and would like to know what the most useful extensions are and why. My current extensions are: 1. adblock plus: stops all those stupid adds i cant stand them 2. download statusbar: no window up 3. stumbleupon: great for random surfing 4. page update checker: self explanatory 5. smiley extra: i have java script off for adding worlds to favs, and the smilies just own 6. smooth wheel: self explanatory 7. answers: if i need an definitions its pretty handy 8. cookie safe: self explanatory 9. link alert: nice to know where links send you 10. no script: to be on the safe side 11. adblock filter set: i think it helps adblock 12. popup sound: i like to know when popups get pwnt are there any other extensions that would help? and please give a reason. thank you very much for spending your time giving me advice! Knowledge is power
November 1, 200619 yr CustomizeGoogle is good, as are Flashblock, IE View, ForecastFox, Greasemonkey & Menu Editor. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.
November 1, 200619 yr The main ones I'm using right now FlashBlock: I feel AdBlock is too excessive and I only really care about blocking flash ads ErrorZilla: Useful error pages :D Google Notebook: Useful for jotting down notes with websites Slashdotter: Gotta have my OMG PONIES!!! in YRO TabBrowser Preferences: Tab options, couldn't live without this Image Zoom: Image zooming ;) Popup Count, Google PageRank: Useless stats that are interesting :) I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.
November 1, 200619 yr Author k keep them coming, i will go check those out thanks couldnt get the tab browser preferences to work, says i need ff 2.0 which i know for a fact i have and i just checked updates to be sure, must be something wrong with it. Knowledge is power

November 2, 200619 yr My personal favorites are: Answers (great useful tool to look up words in your browser >> quick and simple) SmoothWheel (Self Explanatory) Leet Key (always useful if you want to turn something into 1337 speak :P) Image Zoom (Self Explanatory) & BBCodeXtra (which Cameron explained) :)
November 2, 200619 yr Awesome, i'm so looking up the few recommended here. At the moment I only use; Smiley Extra Bork Bork Bork (So awesome) Check 4 Change (useful for auto-refresh, now has an alert) IE Tab (For those ie-only websites, silly buggers) No Script (mainly just for those Pop-Under ads) Foxy Meter (Shows how many websites i've surfed)

November 3, 200619 yr I use .org/wordpress/chatzilla-on-xulrunner/]Chatzilla, but as an XULRunner application rather than as a Firefox extension - that way, when I restart Firefox I don't have to restart Chatzilla :D Where the bloody hell are you?
November 4, 200619 yr Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/recommended/ for the recomended scripts, most of which I use. I just used bbcodexra to paste that script, and also have htmlxtra, both great. PDM PDM
November 4, 200619 yr Author i have bbcodextra but i dont know how to use it lol kinda pathetic and now i dont know how to use 1337 key lol Knowledge is power

November 4, 200619 yr Forgetting Fasterfox? Dont know if it actully does anything but it does count how many secs it takes to load a page Actually, if you switch tabs the count restarts, which is kind of buggy :P I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.
November 15, 200619 yr For posting on these forums, BBCodExtra. If you use webmail, webmailcompose :) Adblock is inconsiderate of the people hosting websites for free. well. here is the deal.. (diggnation) The ads for most sites are intrusive.. and often spam filled or computer slowing.. consider how bad one flash ad lags rs on there deal.. multiply it x10 or x50 for a firefox users tabs... very bad The following statement is true. The previous statement is false. 60% of all statistics are made up 90% of the time andrew i love you & want you to have my babys!!! Finally, I get to save the Earth with deadly lasers instead of deadly slide shows!
November 15, 200619 yr Is MouseGestures out for FF2.0 yet? I'm still using 1.5. If so, that's a good one.
November 15, 200619 yr Is there a way to make chatzilla a tab within firefox? Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.
November 15, 200619 yr Is MouseGestures out for FF2.0 yet? I'm still using 1.5. If so, that's a good one. Yes, it is. "We'll bring the sexy back to judging >_>." --Nadril Bleh, once I get off my lazy bum and go to Imageshack, there will be a picture here.

(diggnation) The ads for most sites are intrusive.. and often spam filled or computer slowing.. consider how bad one flash ad lags rs on there deal.. multiply it x10 or x50 for a firefox users tabs... very bad Then use flashblock instead of adblock. Is there a way to make chatzilla a tab within firefox? I think there was a way, but it got fubared in 1.5? It might be fixed, but who knows, that's camerons territory :P I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.
November 16, 200619 yr Is there a way to make chatzilla a tab within firefox?http://hacksrus.com/~ginda/chatzilla/faq/#inatab So.. no. You can try anyway by entering chrome://chatzilla/content/ into the location bar, but according to that page it won't work. Where the bloody hell are you?
