firefox portable and add-ons

ive been arsing around with firefox for a little while now and i must say i do like it, and im liking it more each day!. ive customised it a fair bit now so it does what i want, here is a list of add-ons that i find essential for firefox:-

1. adblock plus http://adblockplus.org/en/ - this is a new find for me and boy oh boy is it good!, im getting rather tired of websites pushing adverts at me all the time, im not going to click on them so why bother wasting my bandwidth right?!. well this little baby does the job, just fire up firefox head over to the link above and install this add-on, it will basically strip out any adverts giving you a completely advert free web experience, its amazing how much quicker a page will load, just brilliant!!.
2. ie tab https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419 - love firefox but sometimes find a site wont load correctly because its designed for crappy ie?, well this little add-on will get around the issue, just install this add-on and then add in the sites you want to be viewed in ie, it basically stuffs an ie session directly into firefox, it works perfectly, i personally use it for outlook web access, which doesnt work very well in firefox.
3. tab mix plus https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122 - this add-on gives you full control over your tabs, and importantly allows a new tab to start from your homepage, something that the built-in tab feature in firefox doesnt have, it allows you to freeze tabs, close tabs left and right of a tab, and much more, an essential!.
4. tab scope https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4882 - this gives you the ability to preview your tabs, so you can actually see a mini picture of the tab window by hovering over it, its sort of similar to the preview window you get in vista when you hover over something in the taskbar, its handy and looks very uber geeky! :-).

next post i will talk about firefox rss feeds and using css to hide label names for shortucts on the toolbar.
