Haven't used that one before John.

The one I like is Foxmarks:

If you use Firefox on more than one computer, you'll want Foxmarks. Install Foxmarks on each computer, and it will work silently in the background to keep your bookmarks synchronized. You can also log in to my.foxmarks.com to manage your bookmarks from any computer.

I use Firefox on both my desktop and my notebook. Keeping the Bookmarks synchronised used ot be apain till I got htis add-on

I ca't remember the last time I used IE, Firefox rocks

Just installed it and it seems to work with everything, even attached thumbnails

Thanks for that BS I haven't used IE for over 2 years and I don't intend to go back to it. Firefox for me.

Looks handy for previewing threads here

Opera has a built in function that previews threads in forums. Hold the cursor over the heading in the index and you can read the first post.

Thanks for the heads up John.

I've just installed it, and watched the instruction video. I know that blokes aren't supposed to look at instructions, but It's got a lot of good features that I'll probably take advantage of.

That's true but this one allows you to read the lot, even scroll and best of all it stays open for as long as you like

It's another way to open a new tab, but it could come in handy if you use both. You can stack them at the side as well. It relieves the clutter if you've got a lot of tabs and windows open.

I like the dictionary feature. Double click on a word (or highlight a phrase), right click and hover over search, and then you can hover over a dictionary, Google images, Wikipedia, or websearch.

A nice find, and pretty lightweight at only 94kB.

My favourite add on is still Stumbleupon. A great time waster when you're bored.
Addblock Plus is a good one too. Removes the annoyances, speeds up page loads, and reduces bandwidth usage (with the option to view blocked images).
