Top 10 Firefox Extensions to Avoid

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the segfault-plugin-still-highly-recommended dept.

For example, NoScript, which does make Firefox safer, but isn't worth the hassle, Or, VideoDownloader for slow downloads, when it works at all. Then there's Greasemonkey — on both lists."

    Just by the way, "virii" is a Latin word - the nominative plural of "virus." However, it can be found in two forms "virii" or "viri" with the two i's combined.

    That is all.

      That would be arguable if "virus" were a 2nd declension noun. It's not. It's 4th declension and its plural is "virus" with a long u. And "-ii" is only the plural of 2nd declension nouns ending in "-ius", not "-us" as "virus" does.

    Nice way to twist my meaning there. I had hoped that it was obvious that I was referring to companies like Google or Yahoo or, I don't know - wait! Slashdot. hmm.
