Some useful addons:

- AdBlock Plus (For obvious reasons, disable it at nsane.down though :lol:)

- FireFTP (Nice FTP client, clean UI)

- Fasterfox (Faster equals better)

- Download Statusbar (Great replacement for the Firefox download manager)

- Tab preview (Handy if you're using a lot of tabs)

You should check the Firefox addons site and then a version modded to work with v3 is listed in the comments somewhere...

Added FasterFox Lite to my collection on turbo (within RFC).

As for FEBE I tried it but use simple copy'n paste now (in %appdata% with the Mozilla folder).

Menu Mod have I also tried and liked back then but after a profile crash I wanted a fast profile without unnecessary mem hoging addons. Just moved everything up with right-click Customize :tease:

EDIT: @Marik TMP is a really wonderful addon it does just what it says "turbocharges your tabs", you get more control over them, many options and features like scrolling between tabs, session control and a bunch of other stuff. Recommend trying it, but then you should try the latest (0.3.7.4pre090107 dev) atleast if you have Firefox 3.1 beta 3 :lol:

Hit the blue dev button.

@Anteus: Oh didn't know you could just do a simple copy/paste of the profile and have it work the same... I guess that allows me to remove that add-on.

^As I try not to install too many add-on's as well. So can just copy/paste that entire Mozilla Folder and it acts the same way?

And "right-click Customize" Allows for it to be like yours? As that would be nice for me to have all the things on just one 'bar', more viewing space to, sorta =P

Also, do Add-on's actually stack up to hog up memory? Just asking, as I don't use that many anyway.

Yes, I even made a WinRAR SFX that extract my backed-up profile directly to %appdata%.

I have everything on one bar and I just moved all the items with (right-click on the bar and then hit "Customize..." there you can move the most around and choose to have small icons).

All addons isn't good coded and can take up more sapce / make your Firefox to run slower.
