Firefox Extensions

    Today i installed some firefox extensions for the first time. They're pretty cool. I got
      Foxy Tunes,
    • Gmail notifier,
    • Webmail compose and,
    • Tabbrowser Preferences,
    Anyone know any others that are defo worth having?

    PS: If anyone else uses tabbrowser prefrences, maybe you can help me. I thought that any link i clicked on would open in a new tab, but i still have to right click and select "open in a new tab". I've messed with options, but it's still not happening. It works for some though. For example this opens in a new tab on a left click, but if i search something in google, each has to be right clicked.

    PPS:
    An extension i'd like to see: take the "boards.ie/vbulletin" text out of the text in the tabs, so i can actually see which forum is open in each tab.

    The RSS feeder thats on offer, some nice skins are worth a look. I also like weather reported fromt the weather channel, its more a matter of install the lot and look at whats useful, another more useful one is open in ie for those sites that refuse to display in firefox.

    I recently discovered Geasemonkey which allows you to add scripts to webpages, there are a ton of them out there, including one to remove the ads from gmail.

    I click the Roller Wheel on my mouse and that opens any link in a new tab
