    1. NoScript works with all versions of Firefox now and is available from the Mozilla Add-ons site.

    AniDisable is available from the author's website, and is apparently compatible with versions 0.9 - 1.5, although I've not personally confirmed this.

    FlashBlock is also available on the Mozilla Add-ons site, and is apparently compatible with versions 1.41 - 1.6. Again, I haven't personally tried this extension, but I've seen no comments that lead me to believe that it isn't compatible with the latest final version of Firefox.

    Tab Mix Plus is also available on the Mozilla Add-ons site, and is apparently compatible with versions 1.0 - 1.6. Once again, I haven't personally tried this extension.

    2. Incremental search? Do you mean "Find As You Type?" If so, this isn't exactly a new feature, and it can easily be disabled in the Options menu (Advanced tab).

    3. As for this so-called "Nullplugin" thing — I have no idea what you're on about. It's not a problem I've come accross. Tried uninstalling Firefox, removing your userdata (remember to back up your bookmarks!) and then installing the latest version?

    Anidisable works wonders for me.

  4. NoScript... by OneFix · · Score: 1 · on Favorite Firefox Extensions?

    NoScript has to be on the top of my list (right after Adblock and Greasemonkey)...Disabling JS globaly and only allowing it where it is necessary keeps out almost all ads...pages load faster, and you don't have to worry about information leaks...

    Some others I use...BetterSearch, LinkPreview, Outfoxed, BugMeNot, del.icio.us and Farky...

    • LinkPreview will pop up thumbnail preview images [most of the time] when you mouseover a link. Frickin awesome. Requires restart.

    Your link is to an older version (1.2)

    From the changelog:
    • 1.3 - Major bug fix (random Firefox crashes), many thanks to Mark.

    So if you want to try it, better get 1.3: http://patsis.brownhost.com/hpxpi/linkpreview13.xp i
