		<description>I&#039;m using Firefox 2.0.0.4, and found that the &quot;Answers&quot; add-on (ver. 2.2.27) doesn&#039;t really work unless you enable the &quot;browser&quot; option. IOW, if you select a &quot;tip&quot; (small) window it doesn&#039;t work--you just get a blank box. After turning on &quot;browser (full-screen) option, it worked just fine! It&#039;s a &quot;sticky&quot; option, so you only have to set it one time. Very nice little tool! No need to highlight a word--just point and Alt-Left-Click.</description>

		<description>Here are a few extensions I recommend (copied from &lt;a HREF=&quot;parahuman.org/journal/2005/09/switching-to-opera-and-back-again.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;my own list of extensions&lt;/A&gt; that I find useful):

&#160;â€¢ I like &lt;B&gt;Add Bookmark Here&lt;/B&gt;, which adds an similarly titled menu item to every submenu in the Bookmarks menu enabling easy bookmarking in any folder.

&#160;â€¢ &lt;B&gt;Dictionary Tooltip&lt;/B&gt; is one of my favorites. It displays the definition of a selected word in a kind of &quot;scrollable tooltip&quot; right on the page (as opposed to similar extensions that open a new window or tab, like Answers or DictionarySearch). There are several ways to invoke its inline window (it&#039;s Control-Shift-D by default), but a double-click with the Control key down works for me.

&#160;â€¢ Then there&#039;s &lt;B&gt;Uppity&lt;/B&gt;, which adds an &quot;Up&quot; toolbar button that can be added to the navigation toolbar (and optionally the status bar, too), and makes navigating up a website&#039;s directory structure as easy as clicking the button or pressing Alt-Up (Option-Up on Macs).

&#160;â€¢ &lt;B&gt;Mycroft&lt;/B&gt; can add any of dozens of new search engines to the Search bar (like OneLook, Wikipedia and the IMDb), and &lt;B&gt;SearchPluginHacks&lt;/B&gt; makes it easy to remove them.

&#160;â€¢ Finally, &lt;B&gt;Tabs Menu&lt;/B&gt; adds, appropriately enough, a Tabs menu to Firefox&#039;s main menu bar. This simple feature makes navigating the current window&#039;s open tabs much, much easier.</description>

		<description>Also worthy:  Greasemonkey, Fasterfox, del.icio.us and &quot;Cookie Button in the status bar&quot; (seriously).</description>

		<description>I would add Tab Preferences, Super Drag and Drop, Mouse Gestures and miniT. Makes tabbing and navigation a whole lot better.</description>
