Question Firefox Settings

I'm rather new to Firefox and realize there are setting that restrict loading of certain features. What are the best settings for Firefox? What Firefox extentions are a must? I'll check back periodically for answers. Thanks for your time.

Hi and welcome to these forums, I'm sure you will have a great time as part of the community.

I don't think there are any "best settings" as such as different settings will be better for different users.

Some extensions I highly recommend are:
Fasterfox (better caching of previously visited websites)
Tab Mix Plus (close buttons on each tab and session restore feature)
Gspace (if you are a Gmail user you can use the huge storage as online storage)

There are lots of nice skins to play with too

Thanks for the help. The message box usually gives you the ability to change fonts when you post.

It does indeed :P

I normally use the Quick Reply though so I never see any of the little things you use the editor.
