which ones do you have?

and if you don't use firefox, why not?

I have

gmail skins
chatzilla
and some themes, and noscript, and stumbleupon, and one that does my grocery list from what recipes I want to make, but it doesn't work all the time.


.......and I can't spell.

BBCode (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/128)
British English spelling dictionary (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:3).
Bugmenot (http://roachfiend.com/archives/2005/02/07/bugmenot/) (doesn't work atm).
Cutemenus2 (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/660)
Nightly tester tools. (http://www.oxymoronical.com/web/firefox/nightly)

Most useful are the spelling dictionary, BBCode and of course Adblock.

i only have stumbleupon. on my old laptop i also had a weather forecast one but it was pretty useless. and i had adblock but i couldn't get to grips with it, never seemed to block the same ad twice. tried to get a couple of skins or themes or whatever they're called but it seems they are not made for the most recent versions of firefox.

Cannot think of a name

FoxyTunes
StumbleUpon (crack)
I had the google tool bar with the spell check on it because its spellchecker is better than Firefoxes, but since The Disaster I had to re-download everything and can't find the toolbar I like so much.
Old Factory Theme (I have to re-download that as well)
CoolIris, which irritates me more than helps me, but whatever.
I had JaahJahh but it wasn't as cool as I wanted it to be.
I can't remember what else I had so I must not have used it that much. Now I'm all into downloading widgets so that my dashboard is too crowded to even be worth it (for Mac OSX)

No Script, Ad Block, and AdBlock G Updater.

The Three Essentials, IMO.

I'm also a big fan of Mouse Gestures. They're really helpful when you have a ton of tabs open. I've also got some sort of Gmail doodad on my home system, which makes managing multiple Gmail accounts a breeze.

A shame. ;)

I only use two extensions:

I must not fear! 1.1
Whenever you need it... in your Firefox Tools menu.

DownThemAll! 0.9.9.7
The mass downloader for Firefox.

Don't know why, but I just prefer IE7.

I downloaded Firefox once, I hated it. With a passion. Not only does IE7 (in Vista) look nicer in my opinion, but it's something I'm used to. And it's a loyalty thing for me...I hate that part.

noscript, adblock, gmail notifier, and IE Tab for those damned sites that refuse to use decent code.

stumble is more addictive than NS.

I have a spell check and a thing where the curser is put over a word and you hit Alt and it gives the definition. Have several other things but don't use them much.

Do you happen to remember the name of the addon with the Gmail bit? I could definetly use something for managing multiple Gmail accounts...

Are you sure? Perhaps FF cannot spell. Seems horribly plausible (mostly because it is true).

I have the Tango theme, Tab Mix Plus, Adblock, Cute Menus SVG.

No themes, I prefer my stuff classic-looking. But I do love Firefox, it's pretty sweet.

How? FF is horrid looking by default. Hell, themed it is still could be better. The go button being integrated into the location bar was a poor decision. It looks horrible with my theme, but the rest of the theme nicely matches my desktop so its not changing. If it wasn't for my extensions turning ditching 1.5 support, I'd still be using it.

my current theme makes it look like the netscape browser I had in the 90's it's so classic and pretty, and it drives my husband crazy.

I do like the really really giant themes too, just cuz.

I am all about customizing stuff though, I can't ever leave anything just how I got it.....not my car, not my blue jeans, not my browser, not even my shoes. :p

Meh. The Desktop has FF, IE, and AOL. My laptop has FF, IE, and AOL Explorer. I use whatever I feel like using, perhaps two or all three at once even.

And all I have is FoxLingo.

I have the all important LeetKey, as well as Chatzilla. I don't really have a need for anything else, as ads don't really bother me unless they're an intersitial. I also have the Azure theme, I think. It goes well with the default blue XP bars.

I'm not terribly fond of Opera. I was going to give it another shot to try their speed dial feature, but they do not support my computer's architecture. So meh, why complain when it tries to do too much and ends up not being terribly great at most.
