New to Firefox... kind of.

So I've started to use firefox as my main browser. I was wondering about any must have add-ons, what should i be looking at installing?

If you go to the addons page they pretty much have the top addons for each category.

My favorite so far is, Foxtab, and Yes Popups.

yes, i've been browsing... I can't wait to get the Lady Gaga persona... And i just found the collections page.

That lady gaga thing was a joke.

toMACsh is on a distinguished road
I use NoScript. It makes things a little faster. I don't use any others, as I don't want to mess it up. Add-ons seem to cause problems for others. Just read all the stories on this forum alone...

I still prefer safari though.
