Thanks!

Now upgraded.... sadly bugmenot doesn't appear to have a compatible version... yet

If you're insistant on using your old extensions without updating them yet, you can also just set app.extensions.version to 0.10 using about:config.

I wouldn't recommend doing either - I'd just wait for 1.0 compliant versions - but I would feel more comfortable using the original releases than repackaged versions.

Looks like I might have been wrong. I just re-installed it and it all seemed OK...


WOW! The Ctrl-F find is much better. Love it!

I'm a long time Firefox user - the best browser I've experienced including Opera.

BTW it's advertised on a full page in New York Times today - with 10,000 names (like me & wife ) who made it possible... 8)

EDIT: Not today - it'll be out sometimes next week AFAIK.

Anyone care to list their essential extensions for a longtime Mozilla user looking to switch to Firefox? I'm missing Mozilla's "kitchen sink" approach...

There's just so much to choose from I'm a little overwhelmed, just like the theme/extension sites themselves.

I use the following extensions:

Adblock (a must)
All-in-one Gestures
ieview
Duplicate tab

I use "Noia 2.0 (extreme)" as my theme.

Of those, I've only got ieview.

How does Adblock work? How does it differ from me just right clicking and blocking images from a particular site?
I was also concerned it might stop adverts that fund B3D.

The only other extensions I have (of note) are
Linkification: Plain text "http:\\" etc into clickable links, and
BugMeNot: which often saves the tedium of registering with a site to read it when you are only going to visit it once in a blue moon.

It is much more powerfull than just blocking images for particular sites, it works with flash too, it supports wildcards, you can chose if you wan't to remove the ads (not download them) or just hide them, you can import/export your filters etc.

I don't think blocking ads on pages where you don´t want them blocked is a bigger problem with adblock than with just the "block images from"-function, unless you use wildcards like "*/ads/*". A future version of Adblock is going to get a whitelist feature, solving this problem completely.

[swaaye]

how bout some weird optimized compiles?

Firefox optimized for MMX, SSE, or SSE2!!!!

 

[Colourless]

As much as I like Firefox (which I do since it is my default broswer) it seems kind of strange that you 'need' extensions to do simple things like "show failed url" or "clone window".

 

[Spaceman-Spiff]

My extensions list:
- Web Developer
- Gmail notifier
- ieview
- Quicknote
- undoclosetab <- not compatible with FF1.0 yet though
- Show Failed URL
- OpenBook
- ImageZoom
- WeatherFox <- lastest one I installed, and loving it
