i know this is a repost (for extensions, at least -- i searched and didn't find anything on favorite themes except a few threads that mentioned noia 2.0), but assuming that FF has updated extensions (and you try them), maybe there are new ones that you'd like to share with the rest of us ;)

noia 2.0 takes getting used to (i'm used to the firefox default skin) but it's nice :)

for extensions, i use:
forecastfox
adblock (with the filters on [l=this page which is updated ALL the time and rocks]http://www.geocities.com/pierceive/adblock/[l]
scrapbook (saves websites in HTML format -- a recommendation from RossMAN in a previous thread -- thank you!)
IEview
stumbleupon (get highly recommended websites for particular categories when you're bored and want to surf randomly)

I can't remember what it's called but it's the one that copies text like an IRC client. you just have to highlight the text.

I've used scrapbook a lot, at least once a day. It seems so much more convenient than bookmarks (although it's the same concept) :)

tami or whoever,

How did you set your forecastfox options? Where is the weather displayed?

bottom right hand corner of the FF status bar. i display the weather forecast for today (Label only) and icon for tomorrow. adblock is still running as well. i can provide a screenshot if you want.

edit: when there's a change in temperature or some kind of "alert", a small popup appears on the bottom right hand corner of my screen as well. it's up for maybe 10 seconds and is really convenient :)

I set it in my status-bar for ff. It has profiles that let you set different locations where you want the weather for. It has today's weather and extended forecast. It placed icons for the weather in the status-bar and it has floating text for more details. It's great and updates the weather every few minute.

Plastikfox Crystal SVG is what I'm using for the theme, and my favorite extensions are adblock, mouse gestures, x, and Gmail notifier.

Ha! I actually thought you meant this. You just knooooooow someone has to come in and do that. Sure, if it's a question of which browser then that's fine or maybe they think opera is a theme/extension of firefox :confused:

anyway:
Theme - Littlefox
Extensions - adblock, ieview, tabx, undoclosetab, download manager tweak.

There's an extension out there that outputs your extensions into a list of links to the extension. gonna go look...
