See what you think of them

The whole list of extensions is also on the Firefox web site, but the extensions on the site above have some of the best.
The "add 'n edit cookies" extension is one of my favorites by the way.

F2b, do you notice any difference running all these extensions in the performance of FF??, it's a wonder the browser doesn't freeze up on you, course that may have just been me and Noscript, found that to be stressful on the browser...Quote:

Well Noscript does tend to lead to a memory leak after a long use. I have noticed this because without Noscript firefox would show up arounf 70 -100 Mb but after 4 - 5 hours of use. But with Noscript its around 120 Mb.
But the release notes for 1.5.0.1 does say that they have fixed the memory leak.
But my system has never hung up. I also have symantec but I think its because of P-4 3.4 with HT and 2 GB DDR2 RAM (just love to say that)
PS : for all those who though I have a cool rig well no I have a Nvidia 5200 : 128 MB card (the frustration) :(
Try these out:
SwitchProxy (supports anonymizer)
FireFTP (supports resume download)
Tab Mix Plus (now includes Session Manager)
Peace always,

Howdy.
dalek i have had absolutly no troubles with firefox slowing up or crashing etc etc..Quote:

I usually run more extensions then that but the one's posted are the most commonly used one's..
i've been able to keep the browser running smooth continually for 5days non stop once. I just had it refreshing 10 or more different pages at the same time, i turned the monitor off and came back 5days latter and it was still running smooth.

Cool, I have never heard of some of these extensions, but it is reassuring to find that I am not the only one using some of these extensions. Also, have any of you used portable firefox? It takes a little bit to load (especially w/tons of bookmarks and extensions), but it is nice to take your personal browser settings with you.
I use it quite often, espescially when troubleshooting user's PC's because of IE problems (BHO's)....have had no trouble's with the portable for loading up off of a USB Memory Key 256mb I use Scancruzer, works fine...Quote:

F2b.....Do you run your browser with JRE running, I have found that lately that when I go to post for the first time, it takes awhile for the Java panel to open, afterwards it's okay, may have something to do with the options Java and Java Script options being enabled as well as running No Script, can these conflict?
Howdy.
I have not had any conflicts what so ever, firefox loads up nice 'en quick for me, but i have messed around with the firefox settings to make it do what i want when i want.Quote:

I've got it to load up within 2seconds now, so i click the firefox icon and it's loaded..
I guess you just need to fiddle around with the extension's and there various settings until you find your sweet spot.

Agreed, thanx for the tip. The slowness might be because of the box that I use. It's just an old pII with TONS of crap on it from the other students downloading whatever they want...*sigh*...lol As a matter of fact, I'm in the process of cleaning up the entire lab that it is in. I'm finding all sorts of stuff on these boxes that shouldn't be there....the work never ceases....
Hi guys Jonny here,
I stuffed a bunch of these things onto firefox, and find them lots of fun. I do like that IP thingy though, makes me feel like I know what I'm doing. LOL

There are some really interesting plugins floating around at the moment, i found a plugin not that long ago and it's like solitaire only you can play it on a new tab in the browser.
It's pretty distracting at times. ;)
cheers

I'm a fan of many of these extensions but I found this artcicle to be interesting concerning some memory leaks in a few of the extensions --> http://tech.cybernetnews.com/2006/04...ge-in-firefox/
...and who would of thought IE tab would have been a problem? :D
Long time ago, i had tried on an extension call 'LeetKey'. It might be lame for the name itself and some of the features it provide, but there are some functions inside look interesting to me.
Some features included:
Inside the 'Toogle Editor', other it allow me to type in L33T way (~_~;), it also allow to directly type in binary, hexadecimal, morse, reverse way....
Under 'Text Transformer', it allow to all type of encode-decode things (base64, Hex, Bin,etc...) that is useful for me when i have intercept some request from 'Cookie Edition' or 'Tamper Data' (another 2 extension in Firefox) and to view the plain text on the spot~!
On the 'Text Encryption', it also allow me to encrypt & decrypt DES~ (although DES might be useless these day >_~)
Overall, this is an extension worth to play around with~ ^_^
