FireFox tweaks, extensions, etc.

Starting a new thread for these. There are quite a few. Dale, I think, uses several good ones and I'm sure will share.

My first contribution:

--fixes a "memory leak" in FireFox where FireFox doesn't dump the cache and eventually (after being open for quite a while) will bog down the system if you don't have at least a gig of memory installed.

Say, that looks good. I'll have to try it out.

Could this have anything to do with FireFox not playing nice with Adobe Reader?

Where did you find this, Mark!? I've been looking for something for weeks now to fix Firefox RAM hogging. Thanks!

I found this - Firetune and it actually works. It speeds up browsing quite a bit and the load-time some. It's worth the 20 seconds effort to install it, heh.

BTW, my favorite extensions are Adblock, Spellbound, BBCode, Smiley xtra, MediaPlayerConnectivity, Remove It Permanantly, Cookie Culler and Mouse Gestures. I have more than that installed but these are the ones I always reinstall first - which I haven't had to do in months.

Not sure but it looks like it has reduced the RAM being used. I found that at digg.com

I'm going to try that one you mentioned Dale.

Not sure, Pam. I haven't had any problems with Adobe and FireFox not getting along.
