And the following extensions:
Forecastfox
Adblock
Hit-a-Hint
Greasemonkey
+ mailto: links use gmail-compose
+ remove sidebars on slashdot
+ something called "popup window fixer"...?
+ CTA trains map overlay for google maps

Re: what firefox skins/extensions do you use?

I've tried a few themes along the way but always wind up going back to the default theme.

As for extensions, the forecastfox extension you mentioned is a good one for sure, and I do install it on occasion.  Truthfully though, I haven't been all that impressed with most of the extensions out there.

Still, I will be keeping an eye on both themes and extensions in case something really good comes out.

Hit-aHint has to be the greatest extension ever... coupled with swift tabs (next-tab, prev-tab switching)

Re: what firefox skins/extensions do you use?

I use All-in-One Gestures, Tab Mix, Spellbound and Swift tabs, which like phrakture said is awesome.  But neither swift tabs nor Hit-a-Hint is the greatest Firefox extension.  That would have to be Abe Vigoda Status.

Re: what firefox skins/extensions do you use?

I'll post a full list of ff extenstions that I use later but one of the newest and greatest is stumble upon. It'll pick up a random web page for you based on your preferences (and it does it surprisingly well + no spam/ads etc.)

These two are quite minimal and easy to customize to have even more space for a webpage and be very useful at the same time:

(still working on it :-))

Re: what firefox skins/extensions do you use?

None whatsoever   I only use an edited chrome/userContent.css file to block ads, but I've just noticed that it's a bit outdated (/*Block Ads v.2003-08-04*/ ).

I've used quite some extensions before, but I decided I wanted to try Firefox "as it is"  for a change.  The only option I miss nowadays, is the automatic selection of the previously focused tab if you close one.
