In no particular order. (Although I do love Cooliris)
1:Cooliris https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5579

Quick and easy
4:Screengrab! https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1146

Denies script execution.
Good but you will spend some time after first installation to create a whitelist for HHAD topic list for example.
I slo use Add Blocker but cannot find a URL now. It may have been replaced by Adblock plus at

Forgive me for being stupid but, some of the contents of this Digital Realm go straight over my head.
I have recently purchased Slingbox, new to me, but some of you guys may know about it, anyway it enables me to watch Sky television any where in the world, on my laptop, through my Sky set top box in my house in the U.K.
In the U.K. the picture and programmes are crystal clear, but here because of the slow internet connection speeds, it is just about watchable, and because of the slow buffering speeds, my question is would something like Firefox, give me a faster connection speed.
If any of you guys can help, please reply in language that a Lancashire lad can relate to.
Thanks in advance.

Simple answer is no. It's all about the broadband connection speed.Limey711 wrote:Forgive me for being stupid but, some of the contents of this Digital Realm go straight over my head.

KK is correct but there are config changes that may help.Limey711 wrote:......................In the U.K. the picture and programmes are crystal clear, but here because of the slow internet connection speeds, it is just about watchable, and because of the slow buffering speeds............
What is your line speed in the UK and what is it here in Thailand.
I thinks you should respond to this in another thread. I think you will find there already is a thread on Internet TV. I will watch out for it.
It may also be possible to capture the stream and play it back later. I do this already with other video streaming programs.

1 of the reasons I love FF is Customising it.
I've only just found this.
It takes at least 3mm off your Toolbar.
It should be standard IMO.

Yes, I know you can just press F11 and have a full screen.

I'm a bit of a Firefox newbie. I tried it for a couple of weeks and went back to IE because it was doing nothing more for me - in fact in several instances it was doing less.
I know that I must be wrong, but for some reason I don't feel confident enough to experiment with add ons
I would like to give it another go, but before I do, I would like to read some sort of instructional document - is there such a beast? If there is, where can I get it please? Will it tell me about all of these add ons, and what they do?

My suspicion is that there maybe something in your environment that may be affecting FF.Big Boy wrote:...............

I use FF 90% and IE 7 10%. Some sites I use are meant to screw up with FF and only work properly with IE so rather than risk damage I open them with IE.
Out of the two browsers I have found FF to be the more intuitive. The add ons don't really need any level of expertise. Once you have found one you want the install procedure does everything.
What security (firewall, AV and AS) are you using. Firewalls in particular have caused me problems and I have now gone back to the standard windows firewall.
