Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Tab Mix Plus - Essential, the extension I'd pick if there can. be. only one.
All in one Gestures - Mouse gestures, very useful.
Extended Status Bar - It's just a display of stats not functional.
RiteOfTongue - Can spellcheck a selected word.
PDF Download - Get a choice of what to do with PDF files. I find it useful.

There are several versions of DTA. I don't remember what the difference is between the versions. Anyway, you might want to poke around and try another version or maybe some other similar extension.

I'm pretty sure it's the website, but I'll try out the other versions and see if that helps.

ION, Writely no longer requires an invitation to sign up.
eta: Writely is a web-based word processor that allows you to access your documents from any location with internet access. What seems to me to be the most useful feature is that it allows online collaboration.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Firefox extensions I like:
AdBlock
Linkification (makes links out of plain text URLs)
Dictionary Search (right click to look up word in another tab)
LiveJournal Hook (right click to access formatting tags when posting to LJ)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The extension thing is what scared me off Firefox. I didn't like the idea of having to go hunt to customise the browser. It's obvious that with good extensions the functionality exceeds that of Opera. But I'm lazy, and out of the box Opera already does enough of that stuff that I just can't be arsed.
Yet, Firefox has the alt!browser excitement, and Opera a sliver of the market share. I don't care who else uses Opera--I'm just scared it will go away.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I think I'm going to split the difference, and use Firefox on my iBook, and Opera on the work computers.
