BTW Adblock plus and Noscript work great together.

If it weren't for adblock I would still be using IE...

Depends upon the addons themselves and ofcourse your system config.

I used to have about 26 add-ons enabled and it would take about 4 sec approx. to start. Maybe they were "light" addons.

74. OpenIT online - Opens all kinds of files right in your web browser itself ... files like pdf doc etc ....dont have to download the files everytime you come across them

75. FoxTabs -switch tabs in 3D ...like a pack of cards

76. Foxclocks - Have multiple clocks in your status bar showing different world time

77,Download statusbar - Eliminates the download pop mini window and adds a small one at the bottom as a substitute

User Agent Switcher - It changes your useragent to IE 8 or search bot. You need IE8 to access some accounts.

BabelFish had already been mentioned by me in the thread Kix as moderator for 1 year.

Ghostery - block web bugs.

I don't think they change your User Agent. They are just a theme.

IE Lite-This is a cut down version of IE View by Paul Roub, which is 47.4 KB. All the same UI and features are there. It has a right click menu item to open a page in IE and a list of sites to always open in IE. It can close tabs automatically and send...
IE Tab is not available for Linux.

Also User Agent Switcher - It can also changes your user agent to search bot.

78.-FEBE: (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild your extensions individually into installable .xpi .
