firefox add-ons

[DasFox]

I need to put a password on my browser so my family can't see my bookmarks
is there any add-ons for that?

Use portable firefox and put it in an obscure directory.

Yep true that, or run it off a portable drive or USB stick...

I tried NoScript for FF before and thought it was too much work to configure and gave it another go and its not too much work. Just allow the sites you trust and ban all *ad* sites and dont allow sites you have no idea about.

Also FF addon site told me about this http://www.siteadvisor.com/ site. It seems to lookup sites and shows you info about them. Looks useful so far. Are there better ones?

Oh and NoScript found some tracking cookie crap here on FST. But its not working for me anymore

YEP It's not hard at all, easy...

All you want to really do at first is just allow the DOMAIN you are going to and leave all the ad sites and statistic crap denied, because in there with all that crap is where some of the bad boys might be....

PLUS something people don't realize either with NoScript is, even if a site you are going to is fine, by denying all the other stuff you kill ads, banners, popups this way, and also the sites load much faster.

I was a member on a free forum I made a forum on, the damm thing had like 10 different stats, ads sites that ran with it too, what a mess waiting for all the crap to load, so with NoScript I only allowed my forum domain name and then the forum loaded really fast...

Most of the time it's a great way to just get past all the crap and load a site fast...

i was wondering which add-ons for firefox are the most popular, which ones do you use to help firefox run better or just simply to personalise yours. thanks

You know what you are a mind-reader i was thinking of the same lately

You can go the FF add-on page click "most popular"

Newest API I just found...

http://labs.mozilla.com/projects/firefox-personas/

Personas builds upon the ideas that:

* themes today are too hard to find, install and use
* graphic designers should be able to style the browser without having to code
* browsers can be more than just desktop software, they can include online components
* people just want their computer to be a little more fun and personal

We've just begun exploring the possible benefits of an online component to deliver a better browser experience. There much to explore in this regard; Personas is a simple example. Persona selector is dynamically loaded and populated from a JSON feed and all designs are loaded via URLs to remote resources. All changes to the browser chrome are applied instantly, with no need to restart.
