Due to all your reccomendations on using FireFox over IE I downloaded it and am trying it out.

Was just wandering what pluggins you would suggest I get for it?

Is there a need for adblock with Norton Internet Security since it has built in pop up blocker and ad blocking?

The Google toolbar extension has all the various buttons and features that the IE googlebar has. In fact, I think it's better than the "official" toolbar (IMO). So for example, you can quickly search in Google groups, Google news, Froogle, images and other such categories. You can highlight search words, quickly go up a folder and more. It's much better than the integrated search box.

Carefull with the extensions. Mixing and matching can cause issues and they are usually independant from the actual Mozilla/Firefox developement and sometimes quality isn't that assured as it needs to be.

It's ok to experiment, but learn were the config files are located so that you can delete them if something gets messed up.

How do I get Adblock working with Firefox 0.9.2? All I can see is one marked for up to 0.8 and another one with no markings, but filename suggests nightlies and anyway file seems to be missing o_0.

edit: third link from bottom - hopefully will be working on FF restart
edit#2: and it does :)

let's see...

single window (so that a new windows open in tabs instead of new windows)
toolbar enhancements (provides extra toolbar buttons like font increase/decrease)
download status bar (allows pauses/stop and sits conveniently in a status bar at the bottom of firefox indicating every download)
duplicate tab (like when u open a new window in explorer, it duplicates what was in the window u opened the new one from)
super DragAndGo (just highlight urls or links in a webpage and drag them anywhere empty to open a new tab w/ that link)
quicknote (quickly make notes in firefox in a sidebar, floating window, or new tab)
mozilla calendar
