Here's my list of add-ons:
.
.
- Gmail Notifier (little notifier to let me know if there's new Gmail messages)

Used to use this too.

But now I just use PopTray (freeware, not a FF add-on) which can be used to monitor multiple POP3 (incl multiple Gmail) or IMAP4 a/c's with just 1 icon in the System Tray..

Installed Chrome. First impressions - Youtube pages and pages with Javascript seem to load up much faster. Problem is no adblock add-ons at this point... (well, I won't expect Google to come up with an ad-block add-on to block their own Google ads right? Hahaha)

EDIT: Oh yah, java dun work yet for me. Some discussions here (seems like you need the beta JRE 6u10?): http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa ... 2&tstart=0

There are certain things that FF cannot run such as the CNA Live channel compared to IE. Any idea how to solve the problem?

[blid2def]

You can give this add-on a try... this will give you an option in FF to open an IE-friendly page in a FF tab (i.e. you can go to a URL and select "Open in IE Tab" or something like that):

Personally, if a web site only supports IE, I fark it off straightaway (unless I've no choice, die die have to use it). Fark up lazy developers deserve to be shunned.

Thanks granny. By the way, does all this addon slowdown Foxy performance?

You've gone incognito. Pages you view in this window won't appear in your browser history or search history, and they won't leave other traces, like cookies, on your computer after you close the incognito window. Any files you download or bookmarks you create will be preserved, however.

Going incognito doesn't affect the behavior of other people, servers, or software. Be wary of:
Websites that collect or share information about you
Internet service providers or employers that track the pages you visit
Malicious software that tracks your keystrokes in exchange for free smileys
Surveillance by secret agents
People standing behind you

this occurs when u choose to "open new window incognito"...no history of all transactions under this new window...

good and bad... bad in that children can surf porn sites and parents wont know... but then again, if most browsers allow for auto deletion of visited site after closing them...so LPPL

going to another forum... i saw an advertisment...though i am not sure if it is that forum that is advertising or the result of chrome..
