I don't know how many are left using Mozilla; I also thought this should have been a tip before, but except for Multizilla I didn't find anything. So, Mozilla users, have a look at the mozdev.org Projects page. There are a whole lot of add-ons for Mozilla; just a few examples:

Games, like Minesweeper or Solitaire
Adblock to hide ads (it doesn't prevent them from being downloaded so far.)
Preferential, a GUI to all of Mozilla's preferences (though some don't work with OS X).
Leech, a batch downloading utility; just make sure to enter pathways with : as separators...
Pubmed, a toolbar interface to NLM's Medline.
Dynamiclinks, create links by control-hovering over a word (try and find out what that means...)

All are easy to install, so give them a try...

NeedleSearch (Mozilla)

This add-on for Mozilla acts just like the google search field in Safari, but the advantage is that you can add different search engines. Actual vers. 1.1, new version is on its way! stay tuned at http://needlesearch.mozdev.org/

Spellchecker for Composer or Mail
Authored by: Paul Burney on Sun, Feb 16 2003 at 11:26PM PST

You can get a spell checker for mozilla at:

http://spellchecker.mozdev.org/

It only works on the Mac for versions 1.3b or nightlies of that branch. It's invaluable if you use composer for HTML editing.

(BTW, Composer is a pretty good HTML editor. Standards compliant and easy to use. I often use it for writing documentation.)

I have been using an add-on that "aquafied" Mozilla. When I updated to the latest beta, I was de-aquafied, and now I can't locate that add-on (or application).

Does anyone know its name, or where I can find it?

Thanks!

You are probably referring to the Pinstripe Blue theme. You can get it here:
