Firefox 3.0.7, I installed it today, seems to be ok but i don't know what add-ons i should be using. I just want a lightweight browser, i don't do a lot of mutliple tab browsing etc... I just like it simple.

I do want all ads blocked, all pop-ups stopped unless i say so. Anything else you would reccommend?

Ad Block Plus, ChatZilla if you use IRC.

One of the many add-ons that tells you the weather.

Adblock Plus
Adblock Filterset.G Updater

There's a flash one too, can't remember its name (S something?) - but Adblock does the trick for me.

NoScript blocks pretty much all ads, as well as everything else.

I only use TabMixPlus and NoScript. I don't do a whole lot of tabbing either but if you can suffer through the huge pool of options, TMP can make the tab system cleaner. NoScript blocks any scripts in webpages (nowai) and, since it filters by URL, inherently blocks most flash ads.

Is TabMixPlus the one that can lock and protect tabs? I used to use one like that, but I haven't reinstalled it since I cleared all my addons. It was useful for that one purpose, but that's about it.

Here's a list of my addons, maybe you can find ones that are useful to you:

Add N Edit Cookies
CountdownClock
Custom Buttons
Extended Statusbar
FireFTP
FoxyTunes
IE View
ImageBot
MeasureIt
NoScript
OperaView
Password Exporter
QuickRestart
Screen grab!
Stylish
Torbutton
Web Developer toolbar

Yes, that is one of it's features.

Looks well made but too Mac-cy for me. Come on, it's Vista. If you want OSX, just install it. You can do that now.

Excuse me for being simple, but, with NoScript do i need to subscribe to filters for it? Like the Ad one?

Tbh, i'm kinda confused by a lot, i've been so used to IE7 and just using that without cares and problems. I know how much FF can offer, i just need to set it up, but fuck'd if i think i'm doing it right :S

I don't know if there's a way to do it automatically, but generally, you have to click the noscript icon and allow scripts for every site you visit. A little bit annoying but it's a hard block of things that make your browser explode.

You only have to do it once per site and it's not a hard process.
