There is a Firefox add-on that i added that lets me "override all compatibility" on extensions not officiallly updated for the current version of firefox.
"Nightly tester tools"
it can't fix them all, but I've had a lot of success.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Thanks LeN, I'll have a look at Tabkit.
I turned off a few things in Tab Mix Plus and it's much less annoying now.

Is there another (current) extension that will do this? Remembering to Ctl-T every time I want a new tab is a PITA.
word. i actually just switched to Firefox and that's one thing that's driving me nuts.
If one wanted to download a video from YouTube to use in a PowerPoint presentation, how would one go about doing it?
I have the YouPlayer extension in Firefox installed and it does that, Cash. i haven't actually used it yet, but it seems simple enough. [link]

Another computer question for the experts here--now that I've got my new laptop and have put all my files/pictures onto a disc for transfer, should I just reformat the hard drive on the old desktop before recycling/sending it to Goodwill?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
You should do more than reformat.

On another topic, is there a quick an easy way to know if an iPod Touch is 1st or 2nd generation?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
2nd Gen has the external volume control (top left side)?
At least I think that feature was new for 2nd Gen.

The 2nd gen iPhones had a slightly different shape - not sure if that's also true for the Touch.
