    On my recent up-grade of Firefox, I found an app that I'm totally loving called Morning Coffee. It allows you to add sites for everyday or for a specific day and then with the click of a button it opens all of them on different tabs. So currently I have all my CTs on the Everyday button. So as soon as I set down, I can just click on the coffee button and all of them open right up. I can just move from one to the other.

    But I know I'm probably behind the times, just figuring out the apps on Firefox. Do you all have favs. Share what you all love so I can catch up.

    That sounds nice, I will have to check that one out. Thanks for the tip! I have no clue about firefox apps. I just stick to what I have until DH does something different.

    Um... this will make you feel more "with it" Claire, I still use Internet Explorer and apparently I'm the only one left on the planet! LOL! :) So, I didn't know Firefox had apps either.

    I have one that makes each tab a different color... Colorful Tabs (or something like that)
    I'll have to check out the morning coffee one! :) Thanks!

    I've been using Morning Coffee for a while. Love it. I have about 10 sites it brings up each day. I used to also have the weekly digi sales added in on their respective days, but I've taken those out for now until I have money to spend again. LOL

    Other extensions I have:

    IE Tab 2 - Lets me run IE from within Firefox for those occasions that I find something that doesn't work in Firefox.

    DownThemAll - For downloading multiple files from one page simultaneously.

    Fox Lingo - a translator. I haven't been using it long, but I have a couple of friends who only blog in their native language, so I can use that to right click on the page and get an instant (somewhat butchered) translation.

    New Tab Homepage - Loads my homepage whenever I launch a new tab. (My homepage is iGoogle with a bunch of link boxes on it, so I use that for navigating.)

    Personas - Just fun skins for the browser. :)

    Session Manger - If my browser crashes, it remembers what I was doing. Also can save sets of pages to load on demand. For example, I have one set with various challenge sites around digiland that I bring up if I'm looking for inspiration. I have another set with all my CT forums. I also have it set up that when I close the last open copy of my browser, I have the option of having it bring back up the same pages next next time. Very helpful if I am working on something in the evening before bed that I want to continue in the morning.

    I used to have the Google Toolbar installed as well, but it started causing some problems with alt text, which I like to use when skimming forums to peek at threads without opening them, so I've disabled it for now.
