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.

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.
