What I love about firefox is that its so open to customization. What one person might think should've been included with the browser to begin with might be a feature another person wouldn't want.
As for stability, I've never had a single one of the above extensions cause problems.
Extension explanations.
Adblock - gets rid of banner ads and the like, blocks images, iframes, and swfs from known ad sources.
Add N Edit Cookies - Allows easy editing of cookies and their expiration dates. Very useful for troubleshooting a website. Can also be used to get a site without the "remember me" option to remember you.
All in one sidebar - Ok, this one should have been integrated into the browser. It allows quick-sidebar access to extensions, themes, downloads, history, etc
Colorful Tabs - Give color to your tabs
Colorzilla - A handy little color picker that can copy a color to the clipboard(in hex, or whatever you want)
dAmn XPcom - Enhances the deviantArt chat system
DeviantCopyandPaste - Allows easy right-click access to copying a deviantart thumbnail in :thumb######: format.
Deviantmessage - handy little message alerts from deviantart down on the statusbar
FireFTP - Useful FTP client
Forcastfox - Provides a weather forcast
Greasemonkey - Allows user-made scripts which can add functionality to any website. Very useful, won't go into details at the moment.
IE Tab - Opens a tab which will render a site with the IE engine, allowing quick access to IE only sites (note: will probably crash on whatever would normally make IE crash)
Imagebot - Allows mass uploading to imageshack, and can keep track of images on multiple accounts.
MR tech blah blah - Disable the 5 seconds delay when installing a new extension(originally in place to protect the user from being tricked into installing stuff i guess)
Nightly Tester Tools - Enables the installation of extensions which aren't guaranteed to be compatible with your version of firefox
refspoof - allows you to feed sites custom referers
Resizable textarea - allows drag resizing of textareas
Server spy - tells you what the server of the website you are viewing is running
ShowIP - Tells you the IP of the current website
Toolbar buttons - adds assorted buttons
Toolbar extras - ^ same
User Agent Switcher - Feeds sites custom user agents, used to fake your browser, allowing access to sites which discriminate
View Source Chart - Enhances the way you view the HTML source
Web Developer - My favorite. Whether you want to test every possible aspect of a site, or jerry-rig the Sci-Fi.com bulletin boards so that you have admin-like abilities*, it's great.
*(they fixed the bugs I used to exploit, so don't bother)
I consider all of the extensions I have installed to be very good extensions, but only one or two of them I think would be better integrated.
Another thing. I'm using a portable version of firefox. I can take the entire browser, extensions, bookmarks, plugins and all, with me on a usb drive ^_^
oh, and a shot of my firefox
I've tried just about every browser, with the exception of the mac only ones, and I'd have to say, Firefox is my favorite.
EDIT: About the llama. I used Web Developer to do it.
how do you get the WINDOWS XP window bar shiney at the top, like mine is just normal..
