I dont understand why this isnt more popular... you can scroll up and down a page by simply holding down the right mouse button and moving up or

Because you can already do that by pressing down on the middle mouse button and moving up or down?

The 4 extensions I couldn't live without are

Tab Mix Plus

NoScript

FxIF

POTO Sidebar Extension

POTO should be the default way of using Firefox bookmarks IMHO, but it's only practical with a full screen Firefox. Basically, move mouse hard left and click to get the sidebar, same to get rid of it.

-Scrollbar Anywhere:

I dont understand why this isnt more popular... you can scroll up and down a page by simply holding down the right mouse button and moving up or

down. It is the PERFECT companion to All-in-One Gestures.

Is it really? How do you open a new tab? Or a new window? These tasks are accomplished by the gestures Up and Down, respectively. Wouldn't it conflict? And I love the Up gesture, for opening links in a new, focused tab, so I wouldn't change it to something else.

I guess the middle mouse button is enough for me.

Adblock Plus (using Easylist)

Fasterfox (on Optimized, not Turbo Charged)

Noscript

Newest versions of each of these from mozilla addons site.

BTW to everyone using Adblock Plus Filterset.G, the creator of Adblock plus dosnt recommened you using it because it dosnt exactly take advantage of the Adblock addon like the rest of the subrictions, you could switch to easylist and have the same or beter results, but its up to you.

Do you find that all those plugins slow FF startup?

  • 3 weeks later...
is there a plugin that allows you easier access tabs? Like instead of having a hassle to click on each and every one. (Scroll?, Keyboard Shortcut?)

you can already scroll tabs using the keyboard. Off my head the combination is "ctrl" + "page up"/"page down"

    • I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article?
    • I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.
    • It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.

    • Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.
