Plan B

Got it yesterday, no problems so far.

Got it this morning

Works OK for me

Tried it and still have about the same problem. More sure it's my dodgy internet rather than the downloader. Not a major prob so will live with the irritant.

Works for me.

Ahh yes, but FDM will resume the download from where it got stopped, rather than starting again from scratch.

Indeed. The FF downloader did the same. If you remember to pause the download before you reconnect. The original FF downloader allowed me to get 4 or 5 downloads going at once. The FDM seems to restrict it to 2. Probably one of the settings. Have already selected "heavy load" but no luck. Hope to get it sorted as I do like FDM better.

This might be useful for those using work computers or just for covering your tracks to www.lesbian-twins-double-ended-delight.com

It adds a button that when clicked, closes the tab and erases the history and cookies for all you forgetful pervs out there.

The download page is in one of those useless foreign languages that isnt necessary anymore

Someone with sense has put an explanation in a proper language here

If you're dead clever n stuff you might not need this handy status bar scientific calcumulator.

This is very similar to another extension called Cool Iris or Cool Previes, forgot which. It allows you to preview links without clicking an visiting.

Ive got this feature in a browser I use already, Im not all that impressed with it to be honest as Im on a 14" laptop and it takes up real estate but some people might like it if theyve got a 19" uber screen. It gives a sidebar with a preview of each tab thats open and is rather unimaginatively called Tab Sidebar.

I personally would like to see something more along the lines of the when you hover over a tab you get a preview like you do in the Vista toolbar.

When you open FF it usually opens with a homepage, ie just one tab. You can if you like set a few "home tabs" if you like, just open the pages you want to set as home tabs then go to where you set the homepage in Tools/Options on Windows or Preferences on Mac and there should be an option/button for "Use Current Pages" click the button and it should list the open tabs in the box where you set the hompage but seperated with a "|".

When you restart FF all the pages should open in tabs ready to rock.

If you've ever typed out a humungously long witty retort to some smart arse comment on Teakdoor then this add on's for you. Ive seen a few people post that theyve typed out some long reply then lost it because the connection dropped or closed the window by accident, this one fixes all that by saving stuff as you type so it can be retrieved if buffalo occurs. Just right click and theres a menu for recover form or recover text, no idea how many characters it supports as yet.

Handles form recovery and stuff like typing in wysiywig editors. One of those clever little extensions you'll wonder how you lived without.

Theres been a change over at the FF add ons page, theyve updated the look of the site and introduced a new add on called "Collections" https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir.../editors_picks

So you can make your own pack of add ons or download other peoples

Just added, Smoothwheel to both my Firefox and Thunderbird.

This is a cool add-on as it gets rid of any jerk scrolling. Its quite soothing on your eyes and definitely my favourite add on. Apart from the spell check one.
