1) Firefox only downloads two files at the same time from the same page

Here is a page that describes the fix to Firefox not downloading more than two files from the same site at the same time: Firefox Download Manager 2 files limit

3) Duplicate bookmarks

5) Have several windows open with Flash items without them playing all at once (Flash games, videos, Geegle Video, YouTube, etc), prevent stupid flash adds from playing endless animations, read long blogs with many flash videos, etc

Flashblock

6) Warning: Unresponsive script. A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.

If you have checked the "Don't ask me again" button with either the "Stop script", or "Continue" buttons, and no longer see the dialog, but now want to see the dialog back, then do the following. Open about:config, find entry dom.max_script_run_time, right click and reset.

7) Settings that I have to apply to firefox all the time:

• page print settings (page # and title only on bottom of page)
• number of http download sessions
• minimum size of text
• minimize memory on minimize
• remove links bar
• delete contents of links toolbar
• install extensions
• blank start page
• download manager settings
• number of tabs warning limit

8) Multiple home pages

Entries can be separated with the "|" pipe symbol.

9) Extensions: best reason to switch to Firefox

Here is my add-ons list, but I advise all people to at least once go thru the whole list themselves and you will definitively find something you won't be able to live without.

10) Remove It Permanently extension

11) The amazing Esc button stop GIF animation feature

If there is a flashing ad that is giving you a seizure, just press the Esc button and all GIF animations will stop playing. Amazing!

12) Enable cut, copy, and paste in Firefox

There is a good description of what to do to enable this here. However, enabling this just for your site (fe, your website that you are trying to edit) might not have any effect. Before enabling it for all sites (which should fix the problem), make sure that you include FOUR versions of the URL, both with and without the "www", as in:

user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites", "http://www.mysite.com https://www.mysite.com http://mysite.com https://mysite.com");

It should work now.
