Skipscreen is just amazing. You don’t need to wait for all of those seconds for that download off Megaupload or Rapidshare. Who ever made Skipscreen is a genius.
I try to keep my Firefox lean, but I can’t do without…
Adblock Plus - Big surprise
Gmail Manager - Alerts for new Gmail messages
Tab Mix Plus - Tweak the tab size and behavior
Tiny Menu - Recovers screen real-estate, esp at 1024x768
I love the XE currency converter add-on. Very helpful…

was there ever an answer to this?
also, is there a better addon to use if i want to DL all the thumbnailed linked images on one page. Not the thumbnails themselves, but the larger images they link to, in one shot…I used to have an addon for it but forgot what it was, it certainly wasnt using downthemall and flashgot together though. I guess I could use flashgot by itself but I hate having to enter in that code everytime
edit: nm, thankfully i posted in here earlier with the addon i was looking for!
I recently replaced TabMixPlus with Tabberwocky. It’s a leaner tab extension that does everything I was using TMP for. TMP was doing some weird stuff with 3.6.

IE Tab got replaced with Coral IE Tab. It’s 3.6 compatible and will use your Adblock Plus settings in IE.

I’m also digging the personas in 3.6. Most of them are utter trash but the few exceptions look nice:
no excuse anymore… its too strong…
No Google is evil, even though I use their search engine. Just need waiting for a better search to come along and I’ll switch in an instant.
recommend me a good pop up blocker?
i thought FF had its own built in but I am still getting some that pass by when I click certain links, lame!
