David McRitchie, my main Firefox web page begins with
- Firefox customizations (Notes) -- http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/firefox/firefox.htm
- notes on extensions that I use -- http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/firefox/firefox.htm#ext_table
Another way of viewing my website is through

Problems and Pet Peeves
- Addons_2007 New Format major problems (Bug: 372841) very little improvement at AMO (addons.mozilla.org), even if I personally can do searches with Google.
- Profile not readily available for users, makes it difficult to help others and wastes tens of thousands of hours in the Firefox community (finding/helping/documenting).
- Bloated extensions or extensions where a simple user configuration change would have sufficed (Options(Tools menu), about:config, userContent.css, userContent.css, user.js)
- Inability to lock a Tab (Bug: 392313) without an extension such as "PermaTabs" (conflicts with "Customize Google") or with very questionable "TMP" (bloated, poor - reversed naming usage), rather inexcusable as Opera has some of what is wanted.
