When I used it, I just used the "Brushed" theme to get rid of the cartoony look, and the Google toolbar.

Moved onto Opera since then, faster! :nod:

I use the following:

IEview - for those pesky pages that won't load in firefox.

SessionSaver - Saves the websites that I was viewing when I close firefox

Tab x - adds an x to the tabs so I can close them

Smoothwheel - set how fast the scroll wheel goes down a page.

Yes, very, actually more so than FF because since FF has gained so much in popularity, there have been quite a few exploits that emerged for it. Opera being a smaller percentage of the market share for now..(even though gaining fast)..it's not in the eyes of the exploiters yet.

Another one gaining in popularity..K-Meleon ...based on the Gekko engine though. :(

No problem..I did a while ago...my laptop has IE, FF, Opera
Prior rig has K-Mel, FF, Opera, IE, current install on home rig just has IE and Opera.

For extensions I use faster fox, IE View, Download Manger Tweak.

Themes I like are Noia extreme and Black Japan.

Definitely get adblock. There are a few pop unders that will get through unless you install it
