Awesome and really easy to use.

For those who don't want to see avatars on this forum, then that's an easy way to do it....

Stupid question time... is there a download link on that page?

[Bubba]

Just install the nightly build verson from:
http://adblock.mozdev.org/dev.html

And here's an essential Firefox theme for Dave:

Pimpzilla

There's now an automatic updater plugin that feeds the adblock plugin. Very nice.

Also brilliant is the Wizz RSS reader - it's now replaced my old RSS reader as it's nice having it fully integrated with Firefox

I don't think the network tweaks are a great idea - I've tried them and they made no noticable difference, and if everyone used them it would do the web no favours by overloading servers, etc.

I just use the download manager tweak and all downloads open in a new tab.

Last, and maybe also least, is a gmail notifier:

This is quite good, is there one for hotmail?

Just found 'view' - 'page style' in Firefox. Also available from a small pen holding hand logo in the bottom right hand corner.  Looks like it only works on PHP pages. Bubba are those styles defined by the site or by firefox?

[Bubba]

hmmm. not sure - I guess the site must define something but never come across this before.

do you have an example of a site that has several styles?

also, I don't get no pen icon...
