Firefox Extensions (redux)

[matgb]

Righty ho, backing up my firefox profile again, so as usual all my current extensions, some of them are just pointless unfortunately, and I've still not got around to installing some of those recommended to me. Ah well, completely clean profile on the machine I'm migrating to, will pick and choose as per usual.

Did you download/upgrade to the new version? I have heard mixed views about it - any thoughts?

Due to the way I browse (zillions of tabs opening and closing constantly), the memory leak problem caused me a lot of problems. I used to sometimes have to reboot Fx after a few hours.

The new version will keep going for days with no issue, much much better.

The new addressbar is cool, I like the way it tries to autocomplete from bookmarks and history and works from page titles as well as urls.

Beyond that, there were some features I've turned off, but they weren't really new-it seems fine to me, the improvements are great, the stuff I don't like I can nuke.
