Firefox has the extensions - oh my goodness, it has the extensions - that allow you to change the browser in an almost unimaginable variety of ways. Let's take a look at some of them, mmmmmmmkay?
First up, Novell has a short piece, with easy-to-follow screenshots, titled "Google Auto-fill Replica for Linux", about one of my favorite extensions: Auto-Fill. Get tired of having to fill out lots o' boxes on a form? Then Auto-Fill is the answer. I use it all the time, but I'm lazy as the day is long.
Next, we have Linky, really just a blurb at Linux Gazette and some pointers to the Linky extension. I've tried it, but it didn't do much for me. You, however, may find things to be different. At least read about it, so when you contempuously spit out, "Linky? Puh!", you know what you're talking about.
Finally, the big kahuna: PC Magazine has an article on "Top 15 Firefox Extensions". There are some I definitely agree with on that list - Adblock, ForecastFox, GoogleBar - and some that don't really grab me. Check out the list, read the mini-reviews, and try 'em out. You've got nothing to lose but your Profile!
