My Firefox Add-ons (and themes)

Firefox is nowadays one of the most popular apps in the world. not only provides faster internet browsing speed and almost no security breaches, but it also gives us the potential to have ADD-ONS
yes, add-ons, these little apps that make your everyday internet browsing SO much easier. they can be downloaded mainly from 3 different sources
  1. In your Firefox browser click on Tools>Add-ons and then the "Get Add-ons" tab
  2. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/ (official Firefox Website)
  3. Finally, you can always get it from some third party website
Now that we have the sources, lets go on with my personal selection:
  • Adblock Plus: great for getting rid of annoying ads!
  • BugMeNot: to Bypass cumplusory web registration with the context menu via www.bugmenot.com
  • Cooliris: 3D interface that allows news to be read/seen in a more interactive way
  • Download Statusbar: The ultimate download app. this app allows for easy and controlled downloading without the Downloads window opening
  • DownloadHelper: ever wanted to download videos from youtube/Megavideo/ANYTHING?
  • Flagfox: This little geeky app lets you see the country the server is hosted on and server statistics
  • Google Toolbar: No explanation needed
  • Tiny menu: This Add-on compresses the Fire/Edit/View/.../Tools/Help menus into one, handy icon so one bar can be erased thus more browsing space!
As for themes, I am currently using...
  • Full Flat 3.0
Overall, this is what my Firefox looks like

    Hi there! :) Random blogger coming from Photoshop Disasters.

    I used to love firefox. it was my internet life. But recently, FF 3.3 (was it?) and Vista keeps crashing. I'm still waiting for the bug to be fixed. So, I converted to Google's chrome. as simple as that thing is, you'll learn to love it! haha :)

    I have to try Chrome... everyone keeps saying that is god-like browsing...

    Yeah, chrome is a must try. You might need a 2 minute getting used to, but once you've experienced chrome, you'll never want to go back to FF!

    Although I'm just awaiting FF 4, in hopes of a fix. The strange thing is, that I had no problems with firefox either. Up until someone told me it keeps crashing for them. I laughed and said "that doesn't happen to me!" and now look what happened. xD
