Firefox cool tips and recommended add-ons

[craptakular]

Lo,

Been using forefox since 2004, but im ashamed to say I have never used any addon.

After reading a post on here to today about firefox 3 beta 5 I decided to upgrade, must say ff3 is well good.

Been setting up some "smart bookmars" above the tab bar, must say they are really handy.

Just wondering what other cool settings there are? and what add-ons do people reccomend?

Cheers

Get Adblock Plus and you can subscribe to a filter that will remove a huge amount of ads already.

Linkification will convert any text link into a clickable one which can turn out quite useful.
I also use BBCodeXtra which adds a context menu to your right click where you can insert all sorts of things using bbcode and also html and xhtml.

yeh just found bbcode, dam i cant wait for more of these plugins to work with ff3.

I cant believe I have not tried any addons until tonight im such a tard.

ow god thats genuis.


im such a tit for never looking at them, now i know why every rates ff 100x better than IE, opera, safari et al.

 

[craptakular]

Both debateable tbh.


Ahem! Ardent Opera user here.

Opera > FF > IE. FACT!

I new it would sparka reaction

Why do you say opera is better than ff? What does it have extra or do different? are there the same addons for opera?

I did use it once, but it didnt like some sites so went back to ff.
