Offical Firefox thread
Discussion of firefox in general, post extensions/themes and discuss firefox updates and changes etc.
21/12/06: Firefox 2.0.0.1 and 1.5.0.9 updates released, look here for more information. Grand Paradiso Alpha 1 (Gran Paradiso being the codename for firefox), which is based upon Gecko 1.9 has also been released recently.
Themes:
minifoxflat
Classic Compact
I find these two themes nice if you're someone who likes to make their browser UI as small as possible for maxium page viewing space.
Extensions:
Tiny Menu - Compresses the file menu into one whole menu to save space on the GUI.
Adblock Plus - Blocks webpage ads.
Adblock Filterset.G Updater - Companion extensio to adblock/adblock plus with more filter sets.
Customize Google - Removes crap search results from google (IE: search results that link you to stuff unrelated to your search etc, adds links to yahoo and other search engines when googling).
Fasterfox - Utilizes Prefetching to speed up browsing.
Mcafee siteadvisor - Changes color (green = site has no threats, yellow = medium concern, red = high concern). When the security level changes you can click on the bar and it will take you to a page with a analysis of information from people that have visted sites in question or mcafee's own findings.
New Tab Button on Tab Bar - Adds a new tab button on the tab bar. Nice if you want to replace the default new tab button you'd find amoung the firefox GUI or if you don't find yourself using a lot of keyboards shortcuts.
Flashgot - intergrates firefox with various download mangers
IE View - Launches pages in IE, can also be configured to work with other browsers like Opera.
FoxyTunes - allows control of various media palyers (Windows Media player, winamp, itunes, musicmatch jukebox just to name a few).
Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer - Create a account and store your bookmarks on a server. If you install this extension on another firefox installation on another computer (or use portable firefox on a usb disk like me), you can then download and use your bookmarks on another installation of firefox.
Password Exporter - Exports and imports passwords from one install of firefox to another through the use of a xml file. To import and export passwords, see the extension options in the addons manger under extensions.
