And on that note Daifne; having all those extensions enabled; how does your Firefox perform with 10+ tabs open? And what are your thoughts on Firefox Ultimate Optimizer and FireTune?
 
Runs just fine with 14 tabs open right now, but those are mostly Mozillazine pages. ;-)

Most of the optimizers or optimization tweaks that you can find are really not worth it. If they tweak the pipelining, you could get refused by some sites. I've done no tweaking in that way. Now, if you look at my UserChrome.css and UserContent.css files, you'll see a ton of tweaks.

If you're interested in the preferences in Firefox and what they do, see this: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Category:Preferences

(Argh! There I go into Mzine mode. ;-) )
 
Hmmm.. well ive been running Firefox Ultimate Optimizer for sometime now, and it has significantly reduced its memory usage. From about 180mb down to around 10mb with 10 tabs open. Only downfall I've seen of it is that it doesn't like to run on startup.
 
Paying extra attention to security is a must in today's risky Internet environment.

1) NoScript http://noscript.net/ Keeps scripts from running on any webpage unless you whitelist it or give it temporary permission.
2) SSL Blacklist http://codefromthe70s.org/sslblacklist.aspx to help avoid MD5-signed HTTPS websites and others that are on the blacklist of over 1.1M sites
3) WOT (Web of Trust) http://www.mywot.com/ shows me what other WOT-users think of a site and blocks any that have "bad" ratings. You can click to whitelist if you really want to visit that site. I have seen only one in the past month.
4) Google Toolbar http://www.google.com/tools/firefox/toolbar/FT5/intl/en/index.html gives me quick access to Google Bookmarks, Google Reader, Google Maps, GMail, and Google Searches of course.

I just have 3 I use right now. I took a couple screen shots of them for you.
