    First off, I'm not sure if this is in the correct forum section so excuse me if it is not.


    Firefox users only!
    For those of you who have used the Opera web browser, you are well aware of an amazing feature, speed dial. Basically, when you open a new tab or (if you set it to) go to your homepage, you will get a page that contains links and a picture of the websites you select. The amount of websites you select to have on speed dial is up to you. This is much easier than searching through loads of bookmarks for your every day sites.

    Here is a picture of my Speed Dial

    Go ahead and try it out. If you don't like it then just uninstall it.

    This is the same exact thing as another add-on I had. There are quite a few out there.

    Yeah it really is. I used to use Opera but there were certain things that didn't work out just because certain things online are made compatible with Firefox and IE (the two most popular) so I switched back to FF and once I found this, it was like having Opera again (minus the things where you can do commands through a mouse. I forget what they were called.).

    Search for the FF add-on "Mouse Gestures."

    I have all these add-on's but I never use them.

    Foxy Player/Mouse Gestures/Screengrab/Pixel Measure/HideIP/Speed dial

    After the first 15 minutes, you never use them again. :-/

    I always use speed dial. Also Bookmark Toolbar is great. If you look at the picture, I have bookmarks all along the top so it's just one easy click.

    Seems pointless to me, since my most visited sites are already on the bookmarks toolbar in my browser. And I'm not in that big of a hurry to check out my internets to bother with a feature like this. I'd likely stop using it after a while anyways.

    That looks pretty cool, but I use safari just because I <3 it. Maybe apple will release a similar option for safari soon. Oh and Redskins? Seriously?
