firefox addon

hi im looking for some firefox addons to make it like opera i found many of them such as speed dial, mouse gestures, and even the paste and go feature.
but i cant find the one where when you exit firefox and open it back agian it starts exactly where you left off. can some one help me.
also if anyone knows any tweaks to make it faster can you tell me
thanks

 

You don't need a plugin to open up the previously viewed webpages. It's in Options.

This is a good guide to speed up Fx: http://www.tweakguides.com/Firefox_1.html

 

FF 3 beta 3 does that without any tweaks.

Or you could just use Session Manager. (Great addon, btw )

@Arky: I don't see it in FF 2.x =\

Oh, and to OP: Speed Dial | Mouse Gestures and Stuffz

 

is the beta stable for my x64 home premuim

 

I agree. You don't need any performance/feature addons in FF3 as now everything comes built in.

Probably, i've only used it on 32 bit though.

 

Run it alongside your existing stable FF .

 

is it called minefield

 

Yup. Get it here.

 

thank you all

 

You're welcome. If you need any help, feel free to post.

 

It's under "When Firefox starts" in Options

 

I haven't seen that in 2.0. But i notice it in 3.0.

 

I wouldn't really recommend the latest builds of Minefield, for quite a few of me and my friends they've DELETED all our bookmarks, this on Vista and XP so make sure you backup your bookmarks before you try it, also, some people can't get flash to work with Minefield I've noticed.

 

What build did you use? FF3 Beta 3 has been even more stable than Firefox 2 for me. None of my bookmarks got messed up, and flash has worked just fine.

 

would u recommend the minesfield or firefox 2

 

Personally i would recommend minefield as it's as stable, or even more stable than the current version 2. It gives you time to test out the features of the new version before you upgrade, and many more reasons including speed increase, safety increase, and many little features that are handy.

 

I'd do both.

 

Installing FF 3 "integrated" it with v2 so i kind of didn't have a choice when i switched to v3 full time.

 

i cant get secure logon (password wand for opera) to work right. i went to yahoo and signed in and it did not ask me to remember my password. and when i go back to sign in it does not even save it so i have to put it in again

i tried uninstalling it and installing it again and still the same problem any ideas.

 

I'm not sure what's wrong, someone else had this problem too but for FF 2. FF 3 is always asking me if i want to save my passwords.

 

not even the normal firefox ask me if i want to save my password.

it does seem faster than firefox 2 but im not sure if im going to move from opera because of some features

Right when you open up Options in Firefox, you get this:


'When Firefox Starts'

I believe that drop down box allows you to set Firefox open up your last session when you close it.

 

Adding to what Arkit3kt said, here is what it should look like:

 

Its near the where you set the homepage in a drop down, I believe.

 

Yes, i just posted a screenshot example.

 

Should I dump all my about:config changes then when FF3 comes out then?

 

Yes, if you don't FF3 may be slower, don't apply any about:config hacks to it.
