Thanks a lot guys

Does anyone know how I can get the tabs to look similar to IE7, where you could click on the little blank tab bit to open a new tab?

EDIT: Found it

The updated Piclens works great in You Tube.
In fact it looks good everywhere you can use it.

I'd have to say OcUK Menu

*ahem*...

New tab homepage

adblock plus, then pick the EasyList subscription (it's a blocklist)

the internet is really really crap without that

Menu Editor is an essential IMO, lets you get rid of all the things you don't want to see.

I think Tab Mix Plus is an essential

now you just need to update it....

there is a new "server / enterprise computing" section....

I'll add mouse gestures to the list. Makes browsing a lot easier for me!

Adblock Plus and NoScript are essential for me. I tend to use a lot of very slow computers (embedded and such) and with some websites throwing Flash and Javascript around all willy-nilly it can prevent me from getting my work done. Those two extensions put me back in control of my browsing experience.

Some lambaste ABP as being unfair for sites that depend on ad revenue to stay afloat but as I see it I wasn't going to purposefully click on any ads and I definitely don't want to pay any respect to anyone involved in those irritating flashing/noisemaking/take-over-your-whole-screen-until-you-locate-the-tiny-close-button ads.

What bookmark add-on is best for FF3? Since I installed it my bookmarks are unsorted and all over the shop, its driving me mental!!

What do you want to do with 'em then?

Have a look at all the bookmark extensions on Firefox Add-ons and see what's appealing.

The only bookmark extension I use Foxmarks, but that won't help with what you described.
