OK, so the Firefox web browser is great and ouroboros's Greasemonkey user scripts make this site even more fantastic....

... but what other extensions do you use?

I've just downloaded Beer O'clock. Pointless but amusing.

It's not a problem at all.

To use these extras, you need to use the web browser Mozilla Firefox as your gateway to the internet (http://www.mozilla.com/) - it's far better than Internet Explorer anyway and worth switching to for tab browsing! Download version 1.5.0.6 and then install Mozilla's Greasemonkey extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/addon.php?id=748)

Once you have got this far, you can then use the greasemonkey extension to install any user scripts that will add extra functionality to the sites they were created for.

Head over to the site created by ouroboros (http://members.shaw.ca/ouroboros/RHP) where he has listed all his custom scrips for RHP and all the variants. Click on the one you want and Firefox will install it automatically.

Enjoy!

I can't figure out how to weave Firefox in my hair. I give up.

It's when you start using extensions that you'll really get to love Firefox. Without extensions, it's just another browser, actually a bit worse than Opera because Opera can do a few things you need extensions for in Firefox. The extensions I personally find most important are Linkification (it makes links clickable), Adblock Plus, Mouse Gestures (because I am used to them from Opera) and Session Saver (which lets me start from where I finished the last time, another thing I was used to from Opera). And of course Greasemonkey with Ouroboros' scripts.

We know the weather is gonna be like it's gonna be, and rarely like the forecast says it's gonna be.
