I've finally joined the revolution and downloaded Firefox. What add-ins should I download? Which ones should I not download? Please tell me a bit about them -- there's so many options!

Any tips I should know?

I recommend one called noscript - it keeps scripts of unknown origin from running on your system without permission. Just google for NoScript 1.9

text/plain (the one I have right now is version 1.1.9.1). It converts plain text urls and email addresses into usable links. There are a few different add-ons that do this, but I like this one the best.

If you like stealing downloading things from the internet, I recommend DownloadHelper (4.1). It lets you download videos that appear on most sites. Like, for example, YouTube.

Okay - how Whendonized am I? When I read you post, I thought, "YEAH! Another Firefly fan! Then I realized that isn't at all what you posted (This is the thought process: what plug-ins for "Firefly? How do you have plug-ins for a DVD set? Is there a new browser or media player out there with a theme of "Firefly"? - then it hit me; fireFOX). I felt sad. I'm over it, now.

Dyslexics UNTIE! (yes, I know, unite not untie - go with the joke, okay?)
