how many extensions do you have installed for firefox?

I have 9:
Mouse Gestures 1.0.2 (mouse gesters, duh, this is the main reason I moved to FF)
IE View 1.2.7 (opens the current window in IE if you want)
miniT .5 (lets you move tabs around)
SubmitToTab 0.3.2 (don't remember installing it )
User Agent Switcher 0.6.7 (change from different "user agents", like IE, FF, Opera, Netscape, etc)
Adblock 0.5 (guess what this does)
Adblock Filterset.G Updater 0.2.6 (guess again)
XP Window Styles 0.5 (this allows certain themes to distinguish what theme you are using)

I'll give you some toast
My BLOG really sucks...

I just have 2. Weather forecast thingy, and IE View. For some reason when I install AdBlock, it automatically blocks every flash object. This sucks, as my FF in Linux has AdBlock and it works just dandy.

And now I can't even open up the extensions menu on a brand new install of Window.

I only have a few:

IE View

Web Developer 0.9.4 (superb!)

ShowIP - Shows the IP address of the current web page in the status bar, clicking on it gives you a pop-up menu to things like traceroute, whois, etc. Way cool

View formatted Source - Er, formats the HTML source all nicely when you view it! Colour codes, etc.

Google Toolbar (have a guess)

and finally PDF Download - Allows you to choose if you want to open a PDF in a new tab, a new window or download it (rathre than the default action).

Cheers,

Rich

AdBlock at work, reduces my favourite webpages to text so I don't have to wait for an hour to show images such as the TGC logo. You would think a company that supports the networks of most big companies would have a decent network speed.

I have:
* Colorzilla (a REALLY usefull tool for getting any color from a pixel on a page. Good for consistent design). Also tells you the "path" to the elemtent under the mouse and also highlights the element so you can see how big it is.
* miniT (mentioned above)
* Web Devloper. Cool tool with lots of nifty features, such as disabling javascript, auto-form filling, etc, etc
* Checky - a HTML validator.. I've yet to actually use it though.
* Mouse gestures.

What Themes are people using? I'm using Abstract PC (but unfortunately, its no longer available :-(). I also sometimes use Noia 2.0 (extreme), Aqua Tine, Brushed and iFox... Mainly use Abstract.

Had to download it manually

I use Adblock and Flashgot right now. I'll have to look into Session Saver--At the rate thoughts enter and leave my head, something like that would be very helpful.

I'm sorry, jimmy. My image recognition circuits do not have a response programmed that has an 80% or above match with the pattern you have inserted on top of the traditional 'Firefox' logo.

Perhaps you would like to download my source code, and...

I have none installed, just a bunch of themes is all.

Are there any that will stop the adware popping up in Internet Explorer, because its irritating me or is that beyond Firefoxes power...

oh and firefox is great for bypassing school filters .....
