Nice! I got this like a couple days ago off the site.. but not sure if it was the completed version or not.. Gonna download it again just to make sure... I love firefox, so much faster than IE..and virtually no pop-ups
While in browser, go to Help: About Firefox..

It'll tell you whether it's new or not.

My most valuable would definitely be (in no particular order)

IEview - listed above
BBcode - adds an option to bbcode either a highlighted selection or something from your clipboard eg img tags
Tab x - adds an 'x' in the top right of the tab marker (not the screen just the tab) that allows you to close the thread. This ones good if you're trying to keep the mileage down on your mouse
Undo Close tab - Very handy save going back through the history should you accidently close a tab.
Reload every - good concept if you're waiting on a response but I've just got it recently and I'm not too sure how well it works.

Thanks for that tip strike, I'll try it on my laptop before I update my desktop, strange thing is like I said they worked for pr but not the full release

Welcome to the official Firefox extension thread
Aust, you can already close tabs by middle clicking on them...no need for an extension

How about themes, what are you guys using? I just got a new one the other day off Radzio and it looks great.
You can d/l Noia 2.0 from here....

One complaint that I have about firefox that is probably sourced between the chair and the computer is if you stream something and decide you want to keep it its hard to retrieve. The only way I know of doing this is to type in about:cache and searching for it via ctrl+f and then you can right click save as the source file.

Also I can't seem to get the leechget plugin to work which is a nuisance atm. With V0.8 I could right-click and select d/l with leechget but after reinstalling the plugin its not working

but making it an option would even be easier. it is one of their best features why not make it stand out. it's like building a 1000hp car but you have to press 2 pedals to get full power.

Not really, most mouses (mice?) have a middle button these days so its not really an issue for most.

What functions are you wanting auto tab for? i.e are you referring to when you click a link you want a new tab rather than window? If you cant already set your tab configuration to what you want you should get the tab preferences extension, that gives you more control options for your tabs so you should be able to achieve what you're after.

mice.

about:config lets you tweak/add just about every setting in ff, i'm pretty sure you can change the tab key binding...not sure though.

theme schmeem, just run the default w/small icons, and bookmark folders in the menu bar.

Usually it should show up in your downloads window...? Or do you mean stuff that is embedded in the web page?
