Not a perfect screenie. I tried to edit out the extra space... my second screen is set up off center. Meh, you can see the browser, though.

I am using the Firefox Logo persona as my current skin of Firefox. My toolbars are pretty customized with almost everything placed on the bookmark toolbar. I have the sidebar open to my extensions, but I have it set to its current minimum width (I can pull it all the way across the screen if I wanted to). I am using WindowBlinds with Prototype right now.

Yeah. The Personas for Firefox extension lets you choose skins on the fly that it grabs from the internet... no closing Firefox to make the change.

If they slow FF down I don't notice. I prefer my functionality, period.

I am gonna check a few of Trotters out to see if maybe those will make me want to switch back to Firefox from Opera. I just have to giggle at the AiOS. Based off of Opera's sidebar. Great to see Opera has inspired greatness.

Yeah, the sidebar is a must have for me. It, coupled with the way I have put my buttons and stuff, makes surfing so much more comfortable.

BBCodeXtra is another must-have. I never use the Advanced option for a post unles I want to subscribe to the thread because BBCodeXtra gives me all of the functionality in the right click.
