How about a better pop up blocker extension. The pop up blocker got way worse on 1.0+ as everyone has already mentioned.
I don't want to have to add another 3rd party program.

Use the Adblock extension with Filterset.G: http://www.pierceive.com/
Just check once in a while to be sure you have the latest filter set. I can't even remember the last time I've gotten an unwanted popup in Firefox.

Is anyone curious why this isn't listed on the 'official' Mozilla Update (https://addons.mozilla.org/) site?

I am - especially since this was last updated mid-2004.

Here's another great extension. It remembers all of your open tabs (and their respective histories) when you close Firefox, so that when you re-open, "voila!". Right back where you started from.

My latest favorite Firefox extension is Roboform. (https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&category=Editing%20and%20Forms&numpg=10&id=750) It fills in web forms for you, using data that you supply and password-protect on your machine. Before you install the extension, you have to DL and install the free Roboform application. (http://www.roboform.com) Makes filling out all those forms painless.

That is a great enhancement to an already wonderful browser. I almost want to return to the US just so that I can text myself.

Is it possible to add a 'SCRAPBOOK' to firefox - similar to IE?? I would like to save web pages inside firefox for use when off line.

hmmm couple of questions:
what is the firefox extension that will allow me to just save an page for later offline viewing?
assuming it is a friends image gallery and i have it now local to my computer is there another extension that can extract the images either by link depth or by file extension?
I am running the 1.5 beta. do i need to go back to the latest official build or do extensions generally work with beta?

Yes, search for the extension called "scapbook" :)
(Serious response; it IS called scrapbook)
Actually; here you go, save you the search:

Looks like this is similar to linkification, which I just found and installed.
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/190/
I turned off the auto-conversion to links, and just use double click on a text url to open in a new or same tab/window, or you can select the text link and use the context menu. Lots of different options and ways to use it.

this is certainly a YMMV, but i LOVE this toolbar modification:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4072
if you are like me and visit the same sites regularly, you rely on your bookmarks toolbar to serve as your primary navigator. on my last computer i had multiple rows of buttons, but i am trying to limit myself to one row on my new(er) computer.
to save space and fit as many buttons as possible on a single row, i have abbreviations that are of little help (FT for FlyerTalk). of course i know it's FlyerTalk b/c i recognize the icon.
despite my efforts i finally threw in the towel and decided to go back to 2 (or eventually 3) rows of favorites. while looking for the addon, i found the smart bookmarks bar, and now i can easily fit 2-3 rows of buttons on 1 row. i have also expanded my minuscule titles to give a much better description (on rollover).

EDITED TO ADD...
D'oh! Found something that does this (not necessarily the same code) here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3818

Too many good extensions still don't work with Firefox 3. Hopefully that will be fixed soon since they've just released RC1.
