Awesome soundtrack; give it a listen. If you know the episode, I’m sure you’ll have fond memories of it. If not, I suggest you get a friend who has the series, and watch through it (meaning the series)… then follow up with the comics, which are still being released. From http://bit.ly/Jhoque

So, recently I’ve been switching my main browser. Away from Chrome to Firefox, as a result of the tests linked below (having 9 tabs open is a light work day for me, and the fox won in both those tests).

Since then, I’ve shared a Firefox profile between my computers with the help of an old article (http://bit.ly/zuqwg4) and DropBox. Passwords are not shared, since I use last-pass now, so security of the dropbox connection isn’t so much of an issue. I am using Firefox’s tab group feature to keep the browsing separate on different computers, and this sync’s my extension’s data entirely, which has always been an issue for me. Plus, the use of the actual Firebug has been of great help.

My current list of extensions in use:
* Social Fixer: socialfixer.com - for tweaks to FaceBook.
* Add-on Compatibility Reporter - Allows for the use of add-ons for earlier versions of Firefox, thoughone should report if there are errors or not as a result of using one on a non-approved of version of the browser.
* Add to Amazon Wishlist Button 1.8 - I don’t like the new toolbar the current release has, and this suites my needs well enough. Basically it takes the bookmarklet out of the bookmarks for me.
* Autocopy - Once text is highlighted, it is copied automagically.
* AutoPager - Ease of browsing lists.
* Download Statusbar - One of my most irksome things about Firefox, as compared to Chrome is the download popup. This takes care of that beautifully.
* G++ - import Facebook and Twitter feeds to G+; I already use ifttt.com for my own syncing.
* Google Voice 5.2 - closest I can come to replacing the Google Voice extension for Chrome, which is ideal really.
* goosic - Google Music hot-keys from any tab.
* Greesemonkey - Permits use of scripts from userscripts.org to tweak the functionality of certain websites (something built into Chrome)
* gTranslate - To replicate the translation feature from Chrome
* HTTPS-Everywhere - forces sites with an https feature to use them.
* InvisibleHand - Helps to get the best deals on the web for a purchase.
* LastPass - Secure password manager.
* Lazarus: Form Recovery - to aid with having to close my browser for reasons related to a battery dieing or computer updating.
* PriceBlink - repetitive of InvisibleHand, but hey, more sources of info can’t hurt, right?
* Sidebar companion for Google Sidewiki - Good for quickly evaluating a new merchant, in addition to reviews found elsewhere that is.
* Stylish - Allows the use of styles from userstyles.org to redo the theme of a given website.
* Web Developer - Great tools for anyone in the web design world.
* Toggle Web Developer Toolbar - space saver for users of the prior.
* UploadScreenshot.com Capture - Quick and easy way to take snapshots of a site.
* Youtube Comment Snob - Hides Youtube comments that aren’t formatted to a very high standard. Essentially, if someone puts a capital where one shouldn’t be, it will hide the comment, though leave a link to see it. From http://bit.ly/xRqqoT
