Edited by lardboy

I don't use or need any of those. If we're going to talk about the essentials for Firefox I would think you at least have to include Adblock Plus and IE View Lite or IE Tab.

My 5 Essential Extensions:

- Adblock Plus

- DownThemAll

- IE View Lite

- Bug Me Not

- Image Toolbar

Others:

- Show Image

- Video Downloader

I don't use any of those five and I have no plans to use them either. Most extensions just add to the bloat factor.

The only thing that I consider essential is NoScript. Beyond that I like PDF Download because I hate it when I get directed to a PDF without a prompt (but it isn't essential).

In order of importance:

1) AdBlock Plus (+ filterg.updater)

2) MouseGestures

3) IETab

4) TabMixPlus

5) CustomizeGoogle

6) GooglePreview

7) TargetAlert

8) Dictionary Tooltip

9) FasterFox

10) ChatZilla

Things I can't live without. (my ****ty blog)

Did you know with MouseGesture if you highlight an address that isn't a link then perform the "go to link in new tab" gesture (usually right-click on link and drag up) it will automatically go to that address in a new tab? Pretty nice.

Looks good except the part when you tell people to turn off the prefetching. That does increase the bandwidth usage, not only for you but for all the poor webmasters who pay their hosting company for bandwidth used and then have to pay extra $$ just because you can't wait half a second for the page to load.

Do you know what this is? It's the smallest violin in the world playing just for the hosting companies.

Seriously though, anyone actually notice a difference with fasterfox because I don't. :huh:

Something else which seems to help speed the internet up in Firefox is this:

Type about:config into the address bar

then..

Then type pipe into the filter

then...

Change all the names values to true

then....

Change the Max requests value to 250

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
    • I hate Slack, but Teams is much worse - maybe they've already optimized it, but it was a huge slog the last time I've checked about half a year ago. I miss my Skype.
    • Just ended up switching to Ubuntu. Not sure why I waited.
