my fave add-on is called "lookitup2" which is a script that uses the Greasemonkey firefox add-on.

basically you highlight (doubleclick) a word anywhere on a webpage, and you press a set of letters to get a popup about the word;

w- wikipedia
i- google images
f- freedictionary definition

you got many other letters too...

the cool thing is you get a popup which can go aways if you click anywhere . so its not annoying like having to actually change pages.

, i also use firebug to capture flash videos...many tabs stuff, downthemall (click a button, and download all images or videos etc...on a webpage).. many bookmarks stuff...forecastfox (weather) ..and the skins are cool looking.

for Porn lovers like me looking to save time, i got my Empornium Greasemonkey script so that when i get on the page, the script modifies the site such that i get video thumbnails for EVERY video in the search results page itself so you dont have to click on each to get a little preview.

i dont think you can do all this stuff on Chrome.

post guide to set up empornium like that please / fellow perv

I switched from firefox about 4-5 months ago when I finally got fed up with so many crashes and bulkiness, chrome was nice and sleek, helped a lot that it had AD Blocker as well, but lately chrome has been pretty shit too...

I like the new FF design, its pretty similar to chrome's but thats what makes it sleek now as oppsed to bulky before.

Also will confirm that the minimize/maximize/close only work with default FF theme

Download the portable version of the beta here if you wish to test it out without interfering with your current installation in any way.

Any new development on CSS support or SVG stuff? I saw the CSS transitions on there which is pretty cool, but that's only 1 thing.

How's the memory usage compared to 3.x? I switched over to Chrome because they ported AdBlock from FF and it wasn't as much of a memory hog. I do miss NoScript, though.

soooo how come i need to put any character for my favorite website description in the bookmark toolbar? for 3.6 you didn't need to have any. Now in 4 you have to atleast have a space or else it will show the whole url.

I don't really understand why you all switched to chrome. It just divides the user base leading to less addons overall. Firefox and chrome are just as fast as each other after a week of caching data. Chrome seemed to slow down considerably for me as it picked up more data. I think I tested this on numion, a site that shows you how long it takes to fully load a page, and posted my results in TL's first chrome thread.

Many of the functionalities people like are in firefox's addons because without a doubt, firefox has the best designed, and most numerous addons. They have some for mouse gestures too, for the guy above talking about Opera's mouse gestures.
Forgot to mention, firefox has themes that can make it look sleek too. It has private browsing built in, and numerous addons that show your most visited sites in new tabs.
