Use Adblock Plus and Adblock Filterset.G Updater. These two work together and will block out most ads on web sites. IE tabs is good for those idiotic web pages that only work well in Internet Explorer.

I use Safari on my mac, but Firefox is still great.

That plug in lets you play pretty much every old Nintendo (NES) game ever made in your browser. It's really just a front end for a NES emulator and ROM website, but it's easy to install and set up.

Can I just upgrade to Firefox 3 or do I have to manually download it & then uninstall the 2nd one? If I have to do the latter does that mean I have to reinstall all the addons manually too?

Thanks for all the addons too btw, I'm now spending far too much time playing with firefox!

Edit: Ignore this, done & dusted.
