Forgot that one. The automatic spellchecker is a handy function.

Can't believe no one has said this - Foxmarks Sync.

Allows you to sync your bookmarks, great if you use more than 1 computer like i do and you bookmark new sh*t during the day.

ive had relative success with that. i had heaps of bookmarks previously but forgot to sync them with previous saved bookmarks. so after formatting etc i synced/downloaded the b'marks again and i had lost over half of my most recent ones!

yes love the auto spell checker. formatted my laptop recently and forgot to reinstall that for a while. pissed me off whenever i made a spelling mistake!

I used one that helped teach me poker. You told it the cards you were holding and the community cards as they were dealt and it gave you a % chance of winning based on the number of hands you were against. Cheating yes but after a while you start knowing what is a good hand before you even put it into the analyser.

If so, most winning online players are "cheating". It's totally standard to use software (though not through firefox) to help you calculate odds and record hand histories.

No doubt that it is pretty widespread and I guess the point could be made that even if you know how good your hand is there is a lot more to the game.

I used to get the same problem, like the Dictionary just wasn't working. It's fine now but I don't know how it was fixed, I assumed it was a bug that had been patched during an update or something

Try uninstalling firefox then download the British version- I think that may be what I did...

Someone told me that you can download videos from youtube using Firefox...how do I do that?

Switchproxy - easily change between a number of proxy servers

This gets a pretty bad review.Does it work for you?

One I can't do without any more...

Tree Style Tab - You can put all the tabs on the side, so they are listed vertically, and it groups them in a tree view for tabs coming from the same page. Very handy you like a lot of tabs open, and have a widescreen monitor. You can close a whole group of tabs at once too, or move them to other groups, or move whole groups.

I also use that Net Usage Item, Benno_900 - awesome add-on, can't do without that either.
