My Firefox extensions&themes

This post is for Firefox newbes...If you don't know what this is, check here:
Get Firefox!
Something great about Firefox other then safer and easier to use, is the ability to customize it.
Here is a list of my favorite extensions(外掛), which are things that enhance the features of a software.
1. Adblock.........擋掉網頁中的廣告
blocks ads, not popups, but images and banners in any site, just right click on an image and set it to block images from that address, and you won't see it again!! (you can always remove the address from adblock's list to see it again...)
2.ForecastFox ...在firefox狀態列中顯示天氣預報(城市代碼可搜尋"taipei")
shows weather forecasts, easy as that. But you've got to set your city the first time.
3.Image Zoom....按右鍵可任意放大縮小任何圖片
lets you zoom in or out of an image
4.IE View.............按右鍵可呼叫ie開網頁
right click on a page and open it in IE if it's so messed up that only IE can show it correctly.
5.Tabbrowser Extensions...加強分頁瀏覽功能(仔細找, 有中文版)但設定較複雜
lots of setting including forcing firefox to use one window only, open everything as tabs, and open every tab you left open last time when you run firefox.**A little confusing to set up though.

And my favorite themes(面板)(well skins in winamp language), stuff that change the look of a software.
1.Phoenity Christmas
The one I'm using now
2.Noia 2.0 (eXtreme)
skins nearly every part you could think of !!
3.rein
a clean interface

Oh yeah, and my favorite hotkeys(快速鍵)
1.[ctrl+enter]
automaticaly adds "www." and ".com"
for example, to goto "www.blogger.com", just type "blogger" and press [ctrl+enter]
2.[ctrl+w]
close current tab
