Some interesting extensions for Firefox. I haven't tried any of them yet myself.

I love Firefox. Been using it for years. I haven't tried any of the extensions mentioned in the article, but I think I'm gonna try a couple of them. There are SO many available and I just don't have time to keep up on the latest and greatest.

I have used many other extensions, most of which I love and use every day. They also have many different skins available to make your browser a little easier on the eyes.

Turned my back on IE a long time ago and never looked back.:AOK:

Well when I switched, tabbed browsing was the deal maker for me. Which I understand IE has now. The extensions and add-ons were the coolness too.

Recently I've read that Firefox has a smaller memory footprint, as well. It used to be that Firefox was way more stable and secure from T3h H@XX0rS, but I've also recently read that because it's more widely used now, they've started chipping away at it, too.

I don't know. Just what I read.

I've been using Firefox for four or five years now. We had a Mac networked system at my old job and I was totally jazzed with OS X, Safari etc. Firefox seemed to be a reasonable alternative to maintain some "Mac-ness" on my old boat-anchor PC at home

I love the fox.

I'm a huge fan of the fox.

And that tab effect extension has gotten some wows at my house.

I've had Firefox on my desktop for several years now, but only recently switched it over to be my default browser. Finally got tired of the constant IE7 crashes and freeze-ups. Only problem I'm having is that I get a "can't find site" error message everytime I click an internet shortcut now--even though Firefox launches and opens the web page normally! Anybody here know how to fix that glitch? MS probably coded it in to Windows on purpose! :flamemad:

Some of those extensions look very interesting--gotta try a couple! But what's with the "impress your friends" angle?? I feel sorry for anyone whose life is so pathetic that they have to rely on browser extensions to get attention.... :whatever:

There are a number of new add-ons and I was just curious what some of the folks here have found worth the download.
