[/ QUOTE ]I didn't like too many of those extensions and when I had them ALL installed, firefox was slow as hell, but here's a link to his site with the stuff:

Right click inside a login field and then click bugmenot and it should fill in for you.

Most useful for me:

GooglePreview, FasterFox, Download Manager Tweak, Tab Mix Plus (includes SessionSaver capability), BugMeNot, Adblock

Also, adding engines to the Google bar makes your life better. I use Google, Wikipedia, Torrentspy, Babelfish, and Merriam-Webster a lot.

keyword searches are faster than google bar engines

if i want to search for wikipedia articles i type 'wp blah' into the location bar

you make them yourself

go to wikipedia. rightclick in the search bar. select 'add a keyword for this search'. pick a keyword and put it in your bookmarks (i just have a separate place called 'keywords' for them).
