you guys need to look through the addons for firefox. many of these "new" features have been around for a while.
A few addons that I'm still using that are nice:
Adblock plus - obv blocks most ads from appearing
Autopager - on many sites, autoloads the next page so you dont have to keep clicking 'next', just scroll further down (this will eat up a lot of memory if you go too far without loading a new page)
bugmenot - bypass required registration to view content on many sites, just right click and it'll enter a username/password for you from a database somewhere. (not sure how much paid stuff, more for required registration yet still free stuff)
NoScript - blocks all web scripts from running until you explicitly allow them. of course this breaks many websites the first time you visit them, but it takes 2 clicks to allow a trusted site to run scripts forever, so the inconvenience is well worth not getting fucked for accidentally clicking a bad link.
WOT - Web of Trust, just trying this one, somehow it rates the trustworthiness of web sites. I haven't had many sites come up that weren't OK.
Xmarks (formerly foxmarks) - syncs up your bookmarks on all your computers.
Anyone else got any good addons to try?
