    Do not install all the entrants at once. It would be bad.

      Hmm, (+1, Balls of Steel) or (-1, Unusable)?

      My God! It looks like IE. Except that he actually deliberately installed all of those extensions and none of them are malicious.

    I thought the Separe extension was completely useless. If you really want to visually separate tabs, just open a new window and start fresh. That, or get glasses if you can't scan your tabs.

    I suppose at some point FF extensions have to hit a wall for new and innovative things. Personally, I'm still waiting for the "don't use 300MB of memory" extension.

    I can't live without the Abe Vigoda Status extension (FYI -- he's alive as of 8:30am US Eastern Time).

    That's easily solved. Simply remove all but 256MB of RAM from your computer, and disable any swap space you had configured, and Firefox's memory usage will fall by at least 15%.

    Let's not get ahead of ourselves. I want the "Don't use 1GB of memory" extension first.

    If Microsoft can be innovative by copying someone else's features so can we.
