This browser has moved on a lot since the Mozilla / former-Netscape days of 2002. I did search OcUK and found a thread from 2 years ago. I hope it's ok to post an updated version of it with our current add-ons :-) These are what I have:

Blank Your Monitor - inverts text to white-on-black, much easier on the eye
British English Dictionary - changes in-browser language from US to UK English
Download Helper - lets you download Youtube videos
FireFTP - in-browser FTP client
Personas - browser themes
Screengrab - dumps web pages to PNG/JPG, even bits of the page that are off-screen
Speed Dial - yeah, just like what Opera already has built-in
The Middle Mouse Button - assigns the middle button to the back ← command
TinEye - reverse look-up on existing images on the net. Useful for finding a bigger version of a picture that you're after
 
OP: you're not running adblock plus? :eek:

For this thread to be really useful, could you provide a link to each one. Saves the hassle of manually searching, especially if several catch your eye! :)

Fire gestures is one of my favs, I just click away to switch tabs, go back/forward, saves a lot of time.

Downthemall seems fast and works nicely with certain sites :P

Afraid so at the moment...looking at the best way to impliment it in a different way so the menu isn't required...
Click to expand...

A nice idea, but at the moment it is quicker to use the site's navigation for general browsing. Probably good if you want to jump straight to a subforum if you aren't already on the site.

Perhaps a [very] unobtrusive toolbar is a better idea?
 
Thought of a solution.

Create a button that opens a menu! Similar to say the Bookmark drop down. It is small, unobtrusive and probably easy to do. I made my own by dumping a bookmark to each subforum I like in a folder and putting it in my bookmarks toolbar! :p

FireFTP has one feature no other client has, once you've uploaded a file or browsed to a folder you can CTRL+U or right click option to copy the HTTP URL ready for pasting in a forum or message window or wherever. All other clients that have similar features copy the ftp://xxx address and not the http:// address. This feature alone makes FireFTP what it is.

Thanks for the list Khan. Nicked a few extensions from that list. Here's mine, borrowing Khaaans format :):


 
You won't need the FF Sync extension any more as it's a part of FF4 anyway :)
