add-ons are critical, there's a few essential ones that should really be built into the browser.

I only use NoScript and DownThemAll. And really I could probably live without DownThemAll.

noscript is one that is a must.

I wish I could figure out a way to make everything use Firefox though. In certain programs when you click on a link or some buttons it'll open a webpage in IE. The most annoying with this is Windows Live Messenger (and all the MSN versions).

The only other add-on I use is Tab mix plus.

My biggest complaint about Firefox though has to be the crappy spell checker. I don't know if it's the dictionary or the way it was coded, but it sucks ass. I can't count the number of times I misspell a word by only a letter or two, and the spell checker gives me completely unrelated suggestions.

What do you expect from WINDOWS Live Messenger? Microsoft doesn't like the idea that you have a choice. Though in the bigger picture I'm sure all companies and corporations think like that.

To make links open in Firefox (aside from clicking Mail {hotmail} in MSN or Live Messenger) you have to set program defaults. That should be in your start menu. Set Firefox, from there as default browser and links will open in it. if your firefox isn't set as default browser, IE will open links. (you can set this in the Firefox options as well, but may not work as well)

Tab mix-plus is crucial. Proper configuration of it is even more important, links load in bg, tab focus (closing & opening) width, etc.

Get a dictionary for your region. for spellcheck. check the config files too.

Here's the extensions/themes I have installed with a note after some.

I use two addons.

AdBlock Plus (awesome)
and FlashGot (so I can integrate FF with GetRight)

Also, I normally use the basic skin, but I have been using Noia 2.0 eXtreme theme before. That was until it started to make my favorites periodically wipe, although that may have had nothing to do with it.

i'm using that now aswell. The only thing wrong with it is that tabs that have focus seem be be slightly bigger. When you try and click the X to close an un focused tab the tab will enlarge moving the X out from under your mouse, thus canceling your click. It's quite annoying actually. You have to select a tab to close it or right click.

Also, MSN and some other programs are hardcoded to use IE. MSN will use FF for all links, except when I click on the inbox button it'll open IE. It was hardcoded this way, and I think the only way to change that would be to hack the resources. I have no clue what i'm doing in that department though, so I can't.

you can only overwrite the file when firefox is closed, and if you update the theme after you will lose the custom style.

Thanks Faite! That worked. I had Tabmix installed, so I don't know why it was acting all weird.

PS: What anime is your avatar from?
