I was really wondering what Firefox extensions you guys have. That is, if you have FFx at all.

Me:

Gmail Notifier
Chatzilla
Adblock with Filterset.G Updater ( )
"DownThemAll!"
Fasterfox with enabled prefeching
IE View
Crash Recovery
StumbleUpon
Download StatusBar
GreaseMonkey(Google Redux and Blue Frog Anti-spam scripts)
Google Safe Browsing (BETA)

Which would explain this..

Your extensions?

I've only had Firefox for only a couple of weeks so I don't have too many extensions. The ones I have are:

ShowIP
Google Suggest

Adblock. It's the most important one. I used to see a lot of ads with lustful images, etc. Now I rarely see them at all because any time I saw something I didn't want to see, I "adblocked" it.

FF 1.5.0.1:

Extensions:
DOM Inspector
Adblock
Answers
StumbleUpon
ProCon (Anti Porn extension)
Open Source in Tab (For opening a web page's source in a tab)
Flash Got (Right click on a link to download, or download link on the page)
Back is close (You can't always go back so close FF instead)
Google Toolbar
Slashdotter
Google Safe Browsing

Search Engine Addons:
Wikipedia
Bittorrent
Odeo
Google Video
Google Images
Froogle
Google Mail
Stumble Upon
Newsforge
Sourceforge

Themes:
Blue Shift (My favorite)
Aquatint
Brushed (Safari-like theme)
Earthshift (My second favorite)
Glassier


With all that cool junk and stuff I use:
89 Megs of Ram.
(Actually I used over 130 megs of ram without extensions and tabs when I used FF 1.0.7 (compiled from source)

Of course, when you open a bunch of tabs... that's 89 megs per tab which could be why FM is using so much ram.

Yes.

buddboy:
IE6 or IE7?
With Firefox 1.5.0.1 with no extensions compared to IE7 beta 2, they are around the same!

Here's my extensions:

I especially like Adblock (and the filterset), Chatzilla, ProCon and RiteOfTongue.

For my laptop, I also heavily use SwitchProxy because I'm often on different networks that require different proxy configurations.

Goop2:

About installing FireFox -- if you're on a distro like Debian (such as Ubuntu), then use Aptitude to download new software. You can press / to search, type in "firefox", it will hilight it, press + to add it to your install list, press "g" to go, press enter, and it'll download and install it for you automagically.

I'm not sure that FF will be much faster than Konquerer -- they always seemed pretty comparable to me. FF certainly has more features than Konquerer, iirc.

Apt may not be on your system -- what distro are you running?

If you're running Debian/Ubuntu, you can just type "aptitude" in a terminal window (such as XTerm) to bring up Aptitude.

I have Kubuntu

I did all that, but as far as I know nothing happened. If it worked where would I find it?

[EDIT] nevermind, I figured it out. Its slightly different here I think

[EDIT] nevermind, Its installed, but I dont know how to get to it

Hmm. Are there any extensions or themes any of you would recommend?

Goop2: you need Synaptic if you don't have it start konsole,

apt-get install synaptic

As for FF, if it's not in K-Menu, go to Konsole and type: firefox

Ads.. what are those? Yes, one too many "beach" ads got me looking for an image blocker. I've blocked: ad* and ads.* and now I get practically nothing.

It's synaptic. Try typing mozilla-firefox or just mozilla

SessionSaver - great if you have tabs open but you have to close firefox for some reason (like call it a day).
Adblock
FoxClocks - to determine every one's local time
web developer
devpoi - web dev docs
gspace - store files in gmail
customize google
synchronize bookmarks - great, only if it would work properly (I get invalid xbel format)
