So I just downloaded firefox... (1 Viewer)

[jumb]

Is there anything I should know? Also, any good extentions I should download?

 

[MedNez]

Yep. You should get the flash extension straight away. I can't actually think of anything else off the top of my head

That reminds me - usage meter. You can get a usage metre for most Australian ISPs to show a little bar in firefox with your current usage.

I also use IE view, which allows me to open the page in IE by right clicking

and session restore. Which when loading up opens the last viewed webpage, it can be annoying however if you had multiple windows open.

GMail notifier if you have a Gmail account is good. And an extension to revert the Cookies description back to the legendary status.

mednez, the usage meter...does it only calculate what you download through browsing firefox or all other avenues?

btw, just installed adblock, forecastfox and tabbrowser preferences.

 

[MedNez]

It retrieves usage from your ISP. So if you don't have a Bigpond usage meter installed, you can use the firefox one, for example.

Bugmenot is a useful extension.

I like the calendar extension, quite nice and useful.
