I saw a very good and useful extension. We all got some issues with FX 1.0.6 or Deer park alpha versions. Now with a extension called Nightly testers tools , that will make these extensions work for you so you don't have to edit files to get them working. It's easy to do.

What we'll do is right click on the "incompatible" extensions in the EM and "enable" it and then it will work. :D

Features:
* Allows you to force the application to believe an extension is compatible with the
current version and enable it. (Only works on recent builds of Firefox and Thunderbird, branch and trunk since 20/08/2005).
* Adds a menu item to let you to copy the build identifier to the clipboard.

* Adds a menu item to let you insert the build identifier into the current text box.
* Adds a toolbar button to let you insert the build identifier into the current text box (Not supported in the Application Suite).
* Provides an easy way to launch talkback.
* Lets you customize the title bar to include the build identifier and other
information.

For tabbed brwsing Tab mix is the best extention
*ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/extensions/tab_mix/tab_mix-0.2.2.3-fx.xpi
It has LOADS of feature. It makes tabbed browsing better than opera.
You will not see any changes at first. Go to its options and see the differnce.
(it also has progress meter for each tab)

I too used Extended Statusbar, which is a sort of cool extention wherein we get stats like we have in Opera and Maxthon, but it's quite buggy. When we switch btw the tabs, then the address (URL) dont get changed many of the times. Dunno if I had used the latest version, but the version that I once used was buggy, and happy to have uninstalled that extension. :D

I never faced such problem.
May be it was problem in that version.
I'm using 1.2 version of Extended status bar...

If you guys do not like the new menus, Download 'Classic Menus for Winstripe' extension.

Ohh.. thanks. By the way, can you tell me how much memory that it takes? I have a old and slow PC, so I wanna be sure it takes as much (or better still even less) memory/CPU usage than 1.0.6



By the way, for all the dudes, who wanna take a Backup of the bookmarks.. in case you wanna revert to the old version. Use Bookmark Backup extension.
*www.pikey.me.uk/mozilla/extensions/bookmarkbackup.xpi

I have this extension installed :D
