393906 2005-10-06 08:17:00 Please note I am using Firefox Beta 1, Beta 2 will be out in the next few hours.

Get them through Google esp Nightly Tester Tools 0.7.9.6 this will allow you to instal older extensions which mostly work on the new version even though they are not supposed to.

393907 2005-10-06 08:48:00 I find SessionSaver and Tab Mix pretty handy. Forecastfox is fun to play with too :) MyHost (8982)
393908 2005-10-06 08:55:00 adblock a must really
makes pages load faster and make browsing faster on my slow comp

i also use ie view, hotmail tabs too

all-in-one gestures is really handy too
once you get use to mouse guestures..wellz..i end up drawing mouse gestures in other programs and forget that i'm not using fx...

flash block..works with adblock in a way
really help when you have a slow internet conenction and happen to visit a heavily flash based site

sage is a rss reader..comes in handy if u read news through rss

then lastly..sessionsaver
handy when fx crash or comp crash or if you close tabs accidentally
can bring back pages and save your viewing sessions

these are the ones i use
not a lot..don't want to wait too long for fx to load

393909 2005-10-06 09:34:00 Adblock combined with Flashblock is all I got for my computer.

Oh how I hate those annoying Telecom popups at the Herald website

Translate is a good one. It does 12 languages at present.
I don't use it much but when needed it works a charm.

Its not an extension though, its a web filter, blocks adds,flash, embeeded sounds, popups,popunders, animation, anything and everything, Works better then the half dozen extensions required to do half as much, plus its browser indepentent.

Can ever force right click, and browser controls on any popup you decide to let through.

Anyhow,back to the extensions.

DictionarySearch (though its default site is crap, I must get around to changing that)

Flashgot




uh....thats all.
