    Thanks, Mouza and Sasaki. I've now added Forecast Fox, Session Saver, and Flash Got.

    Hmm...

    I think I downloaded quite a lot of stuff within the first three hours of my Firefox experience.

    Noscript: essential; besides, it blocks some annoying ads out on its own.

    Fasterfox: probably faster, I think, since I never used Firefox without it.

    DownThemAll!: help for mass downloading stuff, which is useful, since I've been trying to build up a mini classical music library of my own for personal use. Wonderful , I now have unintrusive, soothing music that can sharpen my mind when I'm doing math, or typing, etc.

    Adblock: what is there to explain? Essential, of course.

    Adblock Filterset.G Updater: what's this extension for again? I have it, that's all I know.

    FoxyTunes: just a little useless toy to play music while I surf. It looks cool, though.

    Image Zoom: very useful for those annoying threads here with oversized -- or too small -- pics.

    SearchPluginHacks: I felt a little miffed that I couldn't remove Yahoo, Answers.com, etc., out of the top-right corner search engine thingy, so I downloaded this one and annihilated it. Now I'm gonna remove it, though, no need anymore.

    pretty much the same as everyone else:

    -adblock (must have)
    -adblock filterset.g updater (must have)
    -forcastfox
    -pdf download (fairly usless i think)
    -tabbbrowser preferences (must have)
    -ieview (must have)
    -foxytunes
    -colorful tabs
    -stumbleupon (good for wasting time)
    -fireftp (useful for my modding work)
    -searchpluginhacks (must have, keep it around in case someone sneeks an engine into my search bar)
    now i'm here, and history is vindicated.

    Ooh goodie :)

    searchpluginhacks
    Eh? I never wanted that search thing there so I just right click "customise" & drag it off the toolbar completely.
    Never seen it come back.

    BTW, New tab & New Window buttons are handy to have up
    maybe those guys should be doing something more useful...
