Firefox's expandability
Sure, FF is expandable. However, the more extensions you install, the slower FF seems to run. At least that was my impression with 2.x. So, I started uninstalling extensions I once had installed. I am down to just one: AdBlock Plus.
Firefox's expandability
I'd suggest upgrading to the latest nightly of Firefox. Normally it's not a good idea, but the stability is much better as they progress towards a release candidate.
Firefox's lack of expandability
Firefox doesn't respect OS X context menu extensions. I have a dozen or so commands that I've added to OS X context menus using OnMyCommand, & which I use regularly while browsing (e.g. search for selected text as author in library databases etc.). As long as Firefox fails to support OS X context menu extensions, I'm sticking with Safari.
install extensions, but disable them by default
I have a bunch of extensions, but I only use one or two mostly. The rest are for occaisional use. I found that you can have lots of them installed and Firefox will run just fine if you disable the extensions. Enable/Disable does require a restart, however, but Firefox restarts pretty cleanly. Enable the less-used extensions only when you need them. |
