I googled it and found it easily though. My faves (that weren't already mentioned): - <a href="http://spellbound.sourceforge.net/install" rel="nofollow">Spellbound</a>: spellchecker for input boxes like this one or Gmail - <a href="https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&category=Bookmarks&id=14" rel="nofollow">Bookmarks Synchronizer</a>: uploads my bookmarks my web host and then keeps them in sync no matter which computer I'm using - <a href="http://www.epigoon.com/?page=feedview" rel="nofollow">Feedview</a>: puts a decent looking stylsheet on xml feeds It sure would’ve been nice if they had included a link to their favorites, the “About site” sounds decent but I couldn’t find it.

It's called miniT and I use it all the time. http://mozilla.dorando.at/readme.html Just read Jeremy’s post.
