First off, if you don't use Firefox or haven't discovered the magical wonders of tabbed browsing, then you MUST download (FREE) it from HERE!
Now for the extensions (add-ons) that I love!
• StumbleUpon - This is a really cool way to surf the internet. All you do is check mark some categories you are interested in (pets, movies, politics, photos, etc) and when you click the Stumble button, it brings up a site that people have rated highly and fit one of the categories you like! You can give it a thumbs up or thumbs down depending on if you like it. That helps it know what to show you. SO COOOL!!

• IE Tab - This allows you to bring up an Internet Explorer tab inside of Firefox. It is perfect for viewing pages that don't look as good or work in Firefox without having to use a whole new window. VERY handy!

• Tab Mix Plus - Allows you to customize your tabbed browsing. You can move tabs around, create multiple layers, change the font when the page has loaded, put close buttons on each tab, etc. You can turn on or off all the features. Very handy!

• Forecast Fox - Keeps a current forecast in the bottom right corner of your browser. You can even go into settings and change the icons to whatever style you want. You can also customize how many days you want it to show, etc.

• Search Engines - Did you know that you can customize the search buttons in the top right corner Firefox search box?? You can instantly search anything from the Food Network to Wikipedia to Webster (to spell check). Here are some of my favs:
Wikipedia
Webster
IMDB
Food Network
Ebay
You TubeThey are REALLY quick and easy to add-on. GET THEM HERE.

I LOVE Firefox and the tab browsing, but I didn't see the "Stumble Upon" button on my browser and I have the latest version for my Mac OS. Hmmm...
