All right, I have been a loyal user of Firefox for a year now, and have quite a few add ons. So, I was wondering what I could use to make it better. Here are my active add ons:
Adblock Plus
Answers
Brief
ChatZilla
Cool Previews
Dictionary Search
Download Statusbar
Download Helper
DownThemAll! (I don't use it since it freezes on me everytime...)
Dr. Web anti-virus link checker
Facebook Toolbar
Fire.fm
FoxyTunes
Last Pass
No Script
WOT
and I don't even know what the Simple Dyyno Launcher is.
So, any add ons I should also add?

Gragt: Must resist posting link to Opera ...

its hard isn't it, especially since opera does all of the add-ons he mentioned things default >_>

Well, I might use Opera since I used it on my DS Web broswer...but I still like having the simple user interface, not sure how Opera is.

I have a few others.
Text Link - Allows you to double click on a URL that is still in text format. the link will then open in a new tab.
Smart Bookmarks Bar - Only shows the icon on the bookmark bar rather than the full name. You can fot a lot more on the bar this wa - the name is shown when you hover the mouse over the icon.
Read it later - It's basically a bookmarking add-on. I use it for quick bookmarking/removing of temporary pages that I want to view.

Personally, I would swap Firefox and Opera around, swap Safari and IE around, and then try to find something else to make both Safari and IE lower on the list.

How about a homebrew explorer you made in five minutes? That has to better.

I am amazed how many opera users there are on here. But I suppose the community itself is the best, so why wouldnt most of them use the best browser

A few interesting ones you might want to look into:
Google Preview - Puts a little preview thumbnail of each websites in any Google search results
IETab - For those pesky sites that are still "IE only", switches the HTML rendering engine to IEs, thus tricking those sites into working
DownloadHelper - Kind of like DownThemAll, without the freezes. Great for downloading YouTube videos
ReloadEvery - Auto-refreshes webpages on set intervals.
EDIT - Almost forgot, Simple Dyyno Launcher is an add-on used for watching streaming videos.

Once you go Opera, you'll never go back...

JudasIscariot: Once you go Opera, you'll never go back...

I did. I've tried Opera, Chrome, Safari, IE, Konqueror, Netscape... I'm sure a few others over the years. None of them have worked as well as Firefox has for me.

I have the download helper, but the others seem interesting. Thanks.
