mozilla is the sex.

[cimorene]

some really jolly extensions for mozilla firefox, the sleekest, sexiest, shiniest, spit-n-polishiest browser on the market:

disable targets for downloads--prevents that annoying blank page from popping up when you download.

mouse gestures--gives opera's mouse gesture functionality to firefox.  you can open new pages, open links/tabs in new pages, go forward and back, reload, close, etc by drawing little shapes while holding down the mouse button.  needs to be reconfigured to make it right-button instead of left-button if you're used to opera.

tabbrowser extensions--lets you configure all kinds of properties for tabbed browsing.  gives color codes, adds a little 'x' to each tab if you want it--really really spiffy.

firesomething--does nothing but randomly re-name the browser on the title bar and in the taskbar.  a new random name everytime you open it--ie "mozilla firepanda," "mozilla spacemonkey."  i'm enjoying it.

quicknote--loads (optionally in the sidebar) a little stickynote pad.  you type notes to yourself in it; it automatically saves them for you.

Got here via ukcalico, and wanted to show off my shiny icon. I got it at parrotdroppings, and she had a few others, if you are interested.

I've also installed the Nuke Image (http://update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=80&vid=87&category=Page%20Display) extension, which I find very useful when people on my Flist post oversized images. Just right-click, remove image, and your Friends page realigns without annoying scrollbars.

And I also like the Duplicate Tab (http://update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=28&vid=29&category=Tabbed%20Browsing) extension which allows you to right-click and open a duplicate of the page you're on. I use this one a lot when I'm leaving comments and realize that I want to link to something in my Memories, and I don't want to lose the text I've already typed.

I love Firefox sooo much, and I'm always happy to hear about other folks who use it.

Opera is a jewel!

Opera is awesome! I love it! The best out there and the Suite of features is awesome!

I can even use Opera IRC to chat with other IM protocols by using public servers of BitlBee.

The keyboard shortcuts, mouse gestures, etc….. wow!

there are extensions to add mouse gestures to mozilla--and i believe there's one for IRC. i was a loyal opera follower, but i've been converted. i never used keyboard shortcuts, but i wouldn't be surprised if there's that too.
