Thanks for the advice. I'm so adverse to any addons that I feel like a kid in the candy store when I do find an interesting one!!

Hi eso.... could not figure out from the linked page what it did exactly, so went to search and found a YouTube demo..... no sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7HmtnK57WI

There are several to 'pimp' - word of the week - tabs like PageStyle2Tab will make the tab adopt the style of the page when life (but options can be varied)

Here's a 4 in 1:

• LocationBar² (highlights the main address and removes the http/http2/ftp/file part optionally and replaces the '/'). Best part is though that clicking on any of the sections of the address allows to quickly go up to e.g. the home page.
• SpoofStick (extra antiphish showing in big red or smaller in colour of choice the real address),
• Fission (moves the progress bar into the address bar)
• Stop-or-Reload Button (merges the Stop and Refresh buttons to a single button changing image/function according the activity).
  
  The address bar is yellow, thus in secure mode (overkill as there is the little lock). When regular the address bar is white.

WCG likes to show face: 4 times their countenance in a few square inches of screen.

I find the following ESSENTIAL:

FireFTP
Download Statusbar
Fasterfox
IE Tab (for those stubborn pages)
Tabbrowser Preferences
AdBlock Plus

I USED to use SpoofStick, but FF seems to catch these sites more often that not.

Hi vavega, been using Foxmarks for a month or more and been updated a few times. The auto-synch can be switched off! The developer is going to include in future versions also options to exclude certain links/bookmarks that one does not want to sit on their servers. Good is, that you can choose a secure HTTPS connection for replication and it will synchronize no later than when exiting browser. And finally your set is password protected on their server, while running over the said HTTPS. Anyway, all the machines are synched, and if visiting elsewhere, just create a user profile on the host and replicate and delete when done.



My addition for the day: Back To Top but it also jumps to the bottom of that very long page you are tired of scrolling to. Sits in status-bar, but extra buttons can also be added top the top....wherever the mouse is closest too. Mouse actions can be defined.

Others are circled and covered in previous editions or will be discussed in future posts:
Foxytunes , to control your media player in-browser
Stylish , to modify look and feel of particular webpages or sites, removing add junk e.g.
NoScript , to protect against auto execution of Javascript, Flash or other scripting.
BOINCstats , showing the credits for any project you configure it to see.
Autocopy , putting the selected text automatically on the clipboard for pasting elsewhere.

spikey_richie mentioned it already in his "must have" short list: IE TAB. It effectively starts web pages you tell it to start in a tab of Firefox, but using the IE rendering engine. For instance run the monthly Windows / Office updates inside Firefox or simply some website which plainly will work if "MS compliant" only.

(WCG tipped that the visitors split is about 50/50 of Firefox v IE users for either of these 2 web browser..... MS beware).
