Tormod Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 BBCode is my favorite! It lets you use forum codes by right-clicking in the post form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 you need to run Adblock Ubdater.d updates your adblock library with a server, and so far i have not seen one ad.also QuickJava is a better plugin then noscript, bercause it alows you to block Java apps as well as JS (and java apps start at a whopping 300megs of ram, so unless you alow it to, those wont run, and JS, if disabled does not run eitheri also run the DrWeb link scanner plugin, that scans links for viruses without downloading them to your systemdown them all is an excellent pluginweb developer toolbar is excellenti also run a plugin that aloows me to translate en to rus, rus to en, type in english but make it sound like russian and it switches it to cyrilic, also i can type in cyliric, but its oriented towards people who type in english a lot, it does not switch to russian layout (and its sweet)bout it, i used to run faster fox, but since i figured out what it actually does, i have uninstalled it and turned on a few options to speed up FF in about:configbrowser.blink_allowed to false - i hate blinking elements on a website, so this is an annoyancebrowser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs to true - this allows you to go into edit/preferences and have extra tab options, like open links in new tabsnglayout.initialpaint.delay to 0 - so the page gets rendered as i am getting it not afterwardsnetwork.http.pipelining to truenetwork.http.proxy.pipelining to truenetwork.http.pipelining.maxrequests to 8 - to enable pipelining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galapagos Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Hyperwords is cool.When you highlight a word or phrase, a menu tab(like when you right-click) opens with options to search several reference sources, including but not limited to wikipedia, google definition, google search, and imdb.com . I also use the translator addon. It adds a 'translator' option to the menu-tab thing, which can translate English both to and from various languages. The translations aren't perfect, but I have found it particularly useful on a few occasions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
