As mentioned in the other thread.

"Quick translate" - Highlight the text and it translates it to English

"Interclue" -Ever wanted to know what was behind the link before you clicked? Interclue tells you everything you need to know before you open yet another tab.
Probably the best discription is written in one of the reviews
"Perfect tool: Places a tiny icon to the right of a hyperlink and displays a preview when you hover over it with no risk of launching it by accident. The preview popup is placed perfectly not hiding too much of the screen.
I very much like the warnings displayed when the link target looks like a risk, e.g. executing an action on access"

Image zoom  - "Adds zoom and rotation functionality for images
Easily zoom in, zoom out, fit image to screen or set custom zoom on individual images within a web page. All this can be done by using the context menu or a combination of mouse buttons and scroll wheel. Handy to see the finer details of smaller pics or to make very large pics fit within your screen.
Image Rotation will allow you to rotate an image +90,-90,180 degrees from the context menu."

New Tab Homepage - "A very simple tabbed browsing extension that loads your homepage when you open a new tab. If you have multiple homepages, the first is chosen." I only use google as a homepage. So for me this comes in handy

I like that Perfect Tool, I went and added that one.

How can anyone not use Firefox when it has all these cool & helpful things you can add to it.

I was having tons of crashes with the last version, so actually switched to Chrome. Like its feel, but doesn't have the depth of add- ons. This thread got me back to Firefox, and so far so good...

Plus, I found a WW2 naval colors theme...has the red outlined Star-N-Bar, medium and dark sea blue with typical camo blended edge...

I used to use CoolIris about 4 years ago.  Then because of an update "incompatibility" issue within FF I stopped using it.  I'll add it tonight.

I had the same problem. But now I run FF 3.6.13 and everything works fine.

As a ham, I really like the option of having an in-real-time solar flux index as well as the current solar A & K levels permanently in the lower right of the browser.

In the "old" days I had to listen to WWV/WWVH at 16 past the hour.
