				Firefox plugins
			 
			
			Cooliris was pointed out in another thread.  But I found it to be too intrusive. However, I do find these two useful: Google Browser Sync - keeps my work and home bookmarks in sync. There are other synchronizer plugins out there, but I already had the google id from having gmail. IE Tab - There are some sites that are strictly tailored for Internet Explorer. But I prefer Firefox in all other things. This plugin uses the IE component to embed an ie browser in your Firefox tab. Means I don't ever have to use IE now. Any other useful ones out there?

			I mentioned Flashblock in another thread.  I don't block all ads but I do block Flash and selectively let it through on places like YouTube.

			I also use Download Statusbar - put download status in your status bar where it belongs. ChromaTabs: color your tabs according to what site they're on. All my Cellar tags are red, all my Gmail tags are blue, etc. makes it easy to remember where you are. Gmail Notifier: number of unread Gmail msgs in your status bar. |

			Even before going to FF, I had accumulated a setup that keeps my machine sparkling clean... Zone Alarm as a firewall - Free AVG Antivirus - Free Pestpatrol - I paid for it once I ran a full scan w/Pest Patrol followed by an Adaware scan, and came up w/nothing but a few cookies...this after about five months of daily hard use. I'm happy.
