For Firefox lovers!

For those of us who use Firefox, here's a few hints for some extensions to get.

Fasterfox - speeds the browser up
Adblock - blocks ads
Adblock Filterset - Automatically updates adblock to take care of all ads automatically.
IE Tab - use IE in tabs of Firefox, so no need to open IE for a webpage incompatible with Firefox

Thanks Andrew I've added those to my firefox. My firefox loading time has sped up. Still about the same as IE for me though. I'll probably try firefox for a day and see if I experience any difference.

Cheers Andrew thanks for that.

As long as IE is supplied with Windows I expect it to stay in majority because majority of computer users are not net savy and most have no idea what firefix is

Dam this Firefox is fast. I'm actually using it and I can feel the change in speed.

Thanks Prakash I'm getting the flashGot and that RSS thing. Its pretty cool I have PC thing scrolling around right now. It seems to slow my loading time though so I may ditch it.

BTW here is the direct link to FlashGot as the one Prakash gave doesn't go there. https://addons.mozilla.org/extensio...tion=firefox&category=Popular&numpg=10&id=220
