This should be helpful to many of the new users of Firefox here at FR.

Nifty post.
The only extensions I really like so far are:
Disable Targets for Downloads
Adblock (AMAZING! filters out so much with wildcards)
Tabbrowser Preferences
Add Bookmark Here
Download Manager Tweak
DragToTab
View Cookies
Dictionary Search
Open Links In...

Thanks! I second the BugMeNot and WordCount extensions. Also like DictionarySearch a lot.

I enabled pipelining just yesterday. whatever it's doing, it's not hurting anything. maybe things are faster, maybe it has just been a good day for bellsouth DSL. maybe it's my imagination.

He's wrong about Tabbrowser Preferences. In conjunction with MiniT+ (as opposed to the plain old MiniT he recommended), Single Window, and FLST, you add a wealth of tabbed browsing controls that rival the bloated, buggy Tabbrowser Extensions for sheer usefulness.
Now if only someone would code an extension that puts a status bar in each tab's label, ala TBE.

Firefox bump mainly to book mark this wonderful post so that I can tweak the Firefoxs on my other computers.
Thank you sir.

The only extensions I use which haven't yet been mentioned are PrefBar and PrefButtons, which let me put the graphics control toggles (animation, graphics, flash etc) right on the toolbar so I can instantly change them as needed.
Since most of my browsing is either blogs and news, or work-oriented document research, I leave all graphics off for speed by default and only toggle them on when a particular site has a picture I want to see.
I switched from Opera to Firefox back in Novemeber and the only thing I still miss is Opera's great page zoom in-zoom out feature.

Does anyone use the little square FR pager window? I keep getting a message that I need a plug-in, but I can't load the plug-in, so I am always getting the error message. Any help appreciated.

Thanks for all the info and tips. I have one problem that should be an easy one for you. When I click on "tools,extensions, and get more extensions", it takes me to Mozilla web site. How do I get the extension you have listed on the other sites.
Sorry to be so dense but I have tried a few things with no success.
Thanks
