What are some good add ons or extensions to down load. I have known about them but never looked into them until I recently downloading the newer version. Just wondering if there is any thing i should download.

Thanks Ryan

i got the one for the downloads, the one for the weather, the ad block plus, and the one that lets you play music. sorry i dont know the names but if you read the description you will figure it out.

i really like the one for the music, foxy tunes or whatever, no going back and forth from music to internet, you can just control it from the browser.

they are designed very well and dont get in the way of my surfing whatsoever.

This isnt an extension but it will speed your internet up!

Start at "Learn about:config"

1 Scroll down to network.http.pipelining right click and choose toggle. This will change its value from false to true.

2 Then do the same for network.http.proxy.pipelining.

3 Then change network network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to 30, by highlighting and right clicking and choosing modify type in 30.

4 Then right click anywhere in the screen and select New then Integer. Then type in nglayout.initialpaint.delay and type in 0 as value.

I use Firefox as well, but I merely have the browser. Can you guys give a brief description on what these plug-ins are/what they're for? Thanks.

the newest version of Firefox (uploaded yesterday) also includes a cool spell-check feature for text boxes, works with this site when replying. Pretty cool

One of my favorite was called "drag and go" or something like that. You can click on a link and drag it to a blank spot on the page and once you let go it will open that link in a new tab.

Be sure to check out the all the themes too.

Are you speaking of 2.0.0.4? I've had it for a while now and it also has this feature built in. Pretty useful as well.
