rocknrobn26 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I finally followed my own advice and have been using it for a week. Slick, really slick!! The tabs are great!!! I have had a few problems though d/l'ing themes. I d/l'd one for my desktop and when I tried to d/l the same one for my LT, it wouldn't d/l. Error was "can't d/l"! Where do these themes end up on the system after the d/l? Also, my only complaint so far is that "autoFill" has no option for CC info. Any help will be appreciated.

Look in that folder for all your downloaded extensions, etc. Check this out for help with profiles As for Autofill, I suspect that's a deliberate omission to keep Firefox secure, but I'm not sure. Also, check this out for a lot of FAQs and stuff Edited January 18, 2006 by Ursa Majoris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you check out this page you'll find an almost infinite number of Firefox extensions, some you can't live without, some useful, some so-so and some useless. Have fun!

Ursa Majoris Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 You got it! Any suggestions? I have time to play! 1272549[/snapback] I have only six extensions installed. IE View - this is indispensable as you can set certain web pages to always launch in IE from inside Firefox. This means you only need one set of bookmarks. NFL.COM runs better in IE. Last Tab - this one sends you back to the last tab you were on before the one you just closed, as opposed to the default of moving one tab left. Adblock - speaks for itself All In One Sidebar - puts a little toolbar on the extreme left of the Firefox window Talkback - Submits a crash report to Mozilla.org Tab Browser Preferences - enhances some aspects of tabbed browsing. Haven't played with this much yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip_Side Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Firefox owns IE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Couple more cool ones.... Basics 1.0 adds a little "New Tab" button to the left of the leftmost tab. Saves going to the File menu. Colorful Tabs makes each tab a different color, handy for quickly identifying tabs if you commonly have a lot of the same ones open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Anybody know if there's an extension that will allow the display on each tab to show the internal bookmark name as opposed to the default bookmark name? I edit the defaults before I bookmark them and I'd like my edited version to show up on the tab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
