The greatest feature of the Firefox browser is that it allows a user to install third party extensions. These extensions are actually software applications that extend the usefulness of the browser – hence the name Firefox extensions.
There are many useful extensions available for download. You may be surprised to find that most extensions are freely available for download. You can use them for a wide variety of functions.
One of the most common browser activity is form filling. Usually, a user will have to manually type in form fields again and again at different websites. Online forms such as contact forms, survey forms or registration forms sometimes require you to enter personal information such as name, address, telephone number, and so on. The process can be very time consuming if the same information has to be entered over and over again.
Here is where AI Roboform excel. Although there are many other form filler extensions, AI Roboform has received the best ratings and reviews. It uses artificial intelligence to populate various form fields such as those mentioned above. Hence the initials AI in its name. It uses AES (advanced encryption standards), which is the industry security standard, to store passwords. So far, it offers the most intuitive user interface. That is also a version that can be run from a USB portable drive. That means you will be able to save all your information in your USB drive and use it on any computer while you are on the move.
Another example of a useful Firefox extension is the web directory submission extension. Mostly, this extension is used by Internet marketers or individuals looking to promote their websites by submitting the URLs to web directories.
Similar to form filling, web directory submission can be very time consuming as well. You are required to fill in your site title, URL, email and a brief description at every website. Imagine submitting your site to thousands of web directories on the Internet. That means having to type the same thing a thousand times over. Clearly, this process is boring and inefficient.
With the Firefox web directory submission extension, you can now save your site information in your extension. Each website is saved as a profile. Under each profile, you may then enter the website information required and select the most appropriate category. Note that you can also rotate as many deep links as you want.
You can add as many web directories to your extension as you like. The web directories will appear in the side bar, and you can check them off as you submit your sites. When you visit each web directory, you should see that the submission form is filled up automatically. If a field is not filled up, you can right click to select a field, then choose add input to fill it in with the required information (e.g. first name, last name, email, etc).
This is the ideal extension for web directory submissions because most web directories have Captcha code installed to prevent spam. Therefore, most automated web directory submission software do not work.
You can utilize such freely available extensions for your own needs without having to pay a single cent.

Was reading through about this. Try the following instructions
Setting default browser manually
In Windows XP, go to "Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> Set Program Access and Defaults (on the left) -> Custom". After expanding the "Custom" category, you will see Internet Explorer and other installed browsers listed under "Choose a default Web browser". Select Mozilla or Mozilla Firefox.
If that doesn't work,
In Windows Control Panel and if Windows XP is using the Control Panel "Classic View":
Click on "Folder Options -> File Types".
In Windows XP using the Control Panel "Category View":
Click on "Performance and Maintenance". Then, click on "File Types" in the left column under the heading "See Also".
Assign the following filetypes to the browser you wish to set as default:
URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol
URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy
URL:File Transfer Protocol
HTML File
HTM File (optional)
Note that you may find the URL file types above under extension "N/A" or "(none)".

Out of my experience: FlashGot, as well as – not surprisingly – all the extensions which, by their nature, require connecting to some server (weather forecasts and the like).
But since there's thousands of add-ons, and thus chances are that I don't use the same ones as you do: the best thing you can do is just to disable them one by one (go to Tools / Add-ons), then measure how long it takes for Firefox to boot up each time. This will allow you to single out the worst "offenders".
Also clear up the cache and browser history, perhaps try decreasing the cache size, use some tool for optimizing Firefox databases (Speedyfox for example), there's many ways to speed Firefox up.
Good news is that the upcoming versions of Firefox are supposed to be improved in the areas of speed and responsiveness (the raising popularity of fast and snappy Google Chrome forced them to focus on it)

You cannot use Firefox to download from the Microsoft Update site. Turn on Automatic Updates instead – then you get the best of both worlds

Even after setting Firefox to be your default browser, Yahoo! messenger still uses IE (at least this was happening to me when using Vista and a fresh install of Yahoo! Messenger).
I found this website http://www.lifespy.com/2007/windows-tip-how-to-make-yahoo-messenger-use-firefox-as-default-browser-in-vista/
"Click the Start menu
Click Default Programs (It's the same for XP except Default Programs is "Set Program Access and Defaults)
Click “Set program access and computer deaults”
Select Custom then click on the drop arrow
Look for “Choose a default web browser” and select Mozilla Firefox
Click OK"

Password Exporter is a Firefox add-on that allows you to export and import your saved usernames and passwords between Computers or keep as a backup copy. Your passwords will be exported to an XML or CSV file and can be encrypted.
Or, you can do it the manual way:
First, navigate yourself to your profiles folder and then you want to copy three files, they are named:
signons.txt
signons2.txt
key3.db
Copy and past them into the place you want to back them up to, and you are done. You can also move these three files to a new Firefox profile (say on a new computer, for example) if you wanted to have the same password information on your laptop.
