Favorite Firefox extensions
One of the big advantages Firefox 3 holds over Safari is extensibility. Savvy users can customize the browser to look, feel and perform in any number of ways. Our earlier review said "Firefox 3 is an improvement on its useful but somewhat clunky predecessor in nearly every respect."

For those of you still on the fence about Firefox, Rob details how to do a quick install and get up to speed with accessing extensions, themes and plug-ins.
Three of Rob's favorites are:
Firefox PDF Plugin for Mac OS X: Allows you to view PDFs within your browser window.
Download Statusbar: Keeps track of multiple downloads in your browser's status bar, rather than an external window.
Fast Dial: Presents numerous Web pages in a tabbed format for quick viewing, similar to a popular feature previously found in Opera.
