Title: Firefox Plug-ins.
Post by: ScaryTooth on Sunday, September 24, 2006, 05:17:59 PM: Just looking to tinker around a bit with Firefox. Which ones do you guys use?

Gmail Notifier is handy.
CustomizeGoogle is pretty useful. It lists the most popular Google results as you type.
Google Notebook: It's like notepad, but in your browser.

I used to use GooglePreview, which basically just puts thumbanils next to your Google search results.

FasterFox
Adblock/Filterset G updater
Forecast Fox

Think that is it.

I used to have dictionary.com and google in there, though now I just have all my hotlinks set on a bar underneath the the address bar. I got tired of typing, I guess.

Hmm, I should look up the Stop/Reload button one. I'm a minimalist, so that'll save me an additional button slot :P

Is it just me, or does Firefox seem slower than it once was. It always seems to have a hitch in everything I do with it.

firefox is being kind of buggy for me as well. Everytime I load a webpage with embeded video the audio stops, and the browser crashes. I can't figure out what it is.
