extensions are the best thing about firefox,

Ooh! I'm off to download this one immediately. I hate registering for sites with an account I'll never use again. Things like this is why FireFox is the best browser out there .. they truly take the cake with so many of their features. Go FF!

I didn't realize that bugmenot was available as a FF ext. I just had a link to their Web site on my FF toolbar folder. As for the other extensions: I use and love them. They're just a couple of more reasons why I've become a devout Firefox fan in the last few months especially.

Great info. And for those who regularly buy webdesigner magazine, a similar article was featured in there, but with about 3 more pages of detail.

I think everyone should also have the fasterfox extension. https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/morei...ication=firefox
It significantly speeds up firefox and tweaks the performance of it too. It does work because I have compared regular firefox with all the same features as firefox without fasterfox on one computer, and firefox that is exactly the same as the other one except for the fact that it had fasterfox on it. I tested them both with the same internet, and i tried about 4 tests because i had to switch some variables around, and my results proved the same thing on all the tests. The fasterfox extension makes firefox significantly faster, and the internet connection last longer, and connect better even though it doesn't seem possible to make the internet connection connect better, fasterfox does it. It is a very good extension. I dont use firefox without it.

jake, what kind of net connection do you have? Usually those types of things impact 56k's much more then high speeds...

I used to use bugmenot all the time, forgot about it recently since I installed firefox on a clean system. I'll have to grab it again and try out those new ones. I used to be big into extensions but I don't use as many now, still have quite a number. Usually I like to keep a weather tracker extension for forcasts, a css viewer, some enhanced page source viewing extensions, and some menu modifiers. Porbably a couple others but nothing amazing really. They sort of rotate too as I get bored of some and pick up new ones haha. Thats the great thing about the extensions too, you can use them as long as you want them then just disable them if you want them gone,

I have a cable and a wireless, 10mbps connection... I would get a better one but I really can't afford it right now. Besides I think 10mbps is alright, even though i wish I had better. But I definatly don't have 56k, and my connection is fairly fast for a wireless 10mbps. The extension still effects me a little though. It was hard to see the difference the day I tested it but I found it. (I was very bored that day.)

That's cool then. Like I said usually people who say these boosters have an awesome speed increase... it means pages load in a minute rather then 2 haha. But yea if it actually boosts speeds noticeably on a high speed connection I'll have to check it out

yeah. It does help a little, and if your connections out, firefox will be the first thing regain internet access even when your connection says it's not there.

I posted a list of extensions I use here: http://www.astahost.com/firefox-extensions-t11366.html

Could you guys go to that topic and add the extensions you guys like?
In about a week or so I am going to make it a poll to find out what the best extension is. I also recommend you install most of the extensions on my list, especially fasterfox. (it is a must)
