It's Colorful Tabs. I personally would not have 50 Firefox addons... This is like one of those lists on Digg. freedude, did you copy this from somewhere? I'm guessing he or she has a vested interest in one or more of those add-ons and this is essentially spam.Quote from: Salmon Trout on December 11, 2009, 03:14:06 AM I personally would not have 50 Firefox addons...Ditto. I think that's asking for trouble. I've never used more than a few add-ons and, even at that, I found a problem with one, a skin named Walnut. I liked its appearance but I discovered that having it installed caused sluggishness in viewing and navigating bookmarks. When I uninstalled Walnut, the problem stopped. My impression is that some caution should be used when installing add-ons. Only install one at a time and then use Firefox awhile to be sure it's working OK before installing another add-on. Walnut has always caused me problems... Best to test themes and extensions on a seperate Profile...50 addons is CRAZY...
