    I like:
    Miscellaneous > Auto Copy 0.3 (copy just by selecting the text)
    Navigation > Mouse Gestures 1.0 (navigate with right-mouse button)
    Navigation > Disable Targets For Downloads 0.8
    Navigation > StumbleUpon 1.999 (let's you 'stumble upon' cool websites)
    Search Tools > Google Pagerank Status 0.9.3 (like Google for IE's page rank)
    Search Tools > Googlebar 0.9.0.30 (Google for Firefox)
    Search Tools > GooglePreview 0.8 (thumbnails of websites when you're doing a search)
    Tabbed Browsing > Tabbrowser Preferences 1.1.1

    Some great Firefox plugins: IE View, Bug-Me-Not, spell check, dictionary look-up, and FireSomething (pretty funny).

    All I have is Mouse Gestures 1.0. I can't live without mouse gestures anymore.

    You know that you can do a dict look up by typing "dict <word>" in the address bar, LeftCoast? You don't need a plugin for it.

    Whir,

    Thanks, but I think I already know what 'word' means!


    OK, just tried it...KEWL! Just in case someone doesn't know, you don't even need the < >, just a space. Thanks.

    Is there a list of what each extension does? If so where can I find it?

    The Mozilla site covers most of them. You'll have to do some browsing to figure out what anything does though. As far as I know, there isn't any actual list of everything but then again I never really looked for one.

    What does I must not fear do?

    You can use Google for definitions also, just click in the google field and type "define: *word*".
    Google rawks :P

    I'm still happy with opera, but you people are making we want to install firefox and try those extensions

    Are there any that let you 'Paste and Go' by pressing Ctrl-D instead of V (or is that built in to the new version)?
    Any that let you reload a page every x seconds?
    Copy to note?
