[zyzzyva57]

If you hate PDF files, too, then add this (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/636) to FF...

Easy way to keep your Bookmark syn'd is this: Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2410)

Speed up FF:Fasterfox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1269)

Finetune FF (http://firetune-for-firefox.en.softonic.com/)

Highlight something and it automatically is copied to paste: Auto Copy (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/383)

Of course, this is a must add on if you visit such sites as anything doing with MicroSoft or a site works in IE, but NOT with FF: IE Tab (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419)

free WSJ anyone?

The people at wsj are offering all thier articles online for free(normal cost $79 annual)

the catch: you have to be "referred" by google or digg.com

the reason: they want more traffic:

the addon is referral spoof http://refspoof.mozdev.org/

heres a guide on using it :http://machinist.salon.com/blog/2008/03/21/wsj/

for those people w/o FF2 you could always look up the title of the article u want to read. go to news.google.com and search that title and whola you get the entire article for free



addons that i cant live without:
Ad block plus (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865) - blocks every flash ad on the internet, along with most other kind of annoying ads
IE Tab (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419)- I keep this around because i always run into a site that doesnt work 100% in FF
Foxytunes (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/219) - nothing like controling your music from inside your browser
