    Okay, got a new toy... Finally got around to getting the Firefox. I know this has been hashed out before, but there are new extensions all the time.
    If anyone has a favorite, or two, how 'bout it? Give it up, let's hear what it is, and why...

    Ha! I loved that GUI install... :)

    FoxAmp 0.2.8 Displays Winamp controls in the status bar :D You don't have to have Winamp started in order for this to work either :D --Downside-- there's no other options for controling winamp from there though. Just play, stop, pause etc.

    Diggler 0.7 This one modifies the address bar in that it adds a menu to choose to go up one level or clear the text in the address bar itself. Kind of a lazy tool, but it's useful if you're using your browser for ftp access.

    TabBrowser Preferences 0.6.5 More controls for tabbed browsing --Thanks Kodo :D

    Tabbrowser Extensions as mentioned earlier.

    ieView adds a right click menu item to open the current page in IE for those pages designed to show correctly only in IE.

    Download With adds a right click menu item to allow you to sellect a download manager for those links that don't always start the manager.

    Open the Extension Manager in the Tools Menu and click on Get More Extensions. This will take you to the new extensions page for the 0.9.x version of Firefox. There are many there that may be of use to you.

    Dict. If you come across a word you want defined, simply highlight it and right click.A tiny pop up window appears with options to: Define 'word' or Search Web for 'word'.

    Definitions are returned in a small, austere window and presentation is not subject to the whims of dictionary Web sites

    Search Web for brings up a firefoz bar similair to the tabs bar which loads a Google search window you simply click to open without losing the window you are in. Also, saves having to type the word in the 'Google box'. Not sure if it will load other search engines.

    ;)

    I couldn't survive without mouse gestures. Possibly the greatest thing since sliced bread. ;)

    I use the highlight and define feature - really handy

    I amuse myself with the extension that renames the browser each time it opens. Right now it's Mozilla Waterphoenix.
