if you use firefox, do yourself a favor and go get some extensions!!

i have been using a few since day one, but, i finally went and got a bunch and there are some truly amazing ones…

case in point is the text-to-images… you know how my photo directories are just a bunch of numbered links? well, use this extension and it will show you thumbnails instead… well, not actual thumbnails, they are just re-sized versions of the full images, so, i don’t recommend people on dial-up use it, but, for the broadbanders, it is nothing short of amazing… (so far, i just got it and haven’t thoroughly tested it…)
for the dial-up crowd, there are a couple different extensions that at least make browsing those type of photo directories easier by giving you buttons where you can just click “next” to go to the next photo… (see, since the filenames are numbered, it just does a little math and increases the number by one…)

i have at least twenty installed now, including “quicknote”, a nice little notepad that i have on the left instead of bookmarks, one called “CustomizeGoogle” that removes the ads from google search results and adds things like links to other search engine results, one that gives the weather at the bottom of my browser, which sits right below the news scroll, which is also an extension… and there is even one where you can play pong (!) with other people online (!!)… now that’s geeky…

anyway, i know a couple of my “twinner” friends (people i know both in “the real world” and online) are trying out firefox and may not even know about extensions so i am mostly posting this for the benefit of you guys…
