Question Anyone else using the Mozilla Suite?

I'm using it to replace IE and Outlook. I have found some nifty extensions, and was wondering if there are any more somewhere that I have missed. Current version I'm using is: Mozilla 1.7.5

edit: Thought I'd add the list of extensions

Spellbound (spell check for forums)

Foxy tunes (in-browser controls for music player, I use Winamp 5.02 Pro)

Mozilla Calendar (I find this to be a nice replacement for Outlooks calendar, it also sends e-mail alerts for appointments)

Reload Every 0.5 (can automatically reload a page, or all tabs at a variable interval)

I had a Clock extension installed, but it won't display for some reason.


Using the Suite and dual monitors at home, I have it set to open my browser (with multiple tabs), calendar, and e-mail all with a single click of the Mozilla icon.

Like you I've got Foxy Tunes. I've also got Adblock, Linkification and Dictionary.
Having made my fair share of spellling bloopers on this forum Spellbound is probably a good idea and I'll have to check it out.
Nothing else though which means my browser, like yours, is customized to my needs.
A good job by the Mozilla folks who gave us FireFox.

I am using firefox - but the extensions are pretty much the same.
I have: Spell bound, Calendar, Image Zoom, Mouse Geustures, Download Status Bar, BugMeNot and probably some others I can't remember.

I have it on my computer, but I am currently using K-Meleon w/Thunderbird. Faster and uses less resources.
