[contest] post your firefox distros

[prathapml]

Some months ago, we used to see custom-built distributions of the firefox browser - containing the browser plus a whole lot of extensions, all built into one single package. But now that excitement seems to have died out.

Now, we have many firefox users here. And many of us are into unattended windows setup. So, it would be nice if the firefox dudes posted their firefox setups - with extensions already integrated - link to download also necessary.

Lets see how many people will post!

One of the distros that were nice, was SiMoNsAyS's pack - it was approx 18 MB and contained LOT of extensions too. So if you're reading this, do post up an updated version of that, or whatever it is, that you use currently. Good luck to everyone's distro efforts!

I would post mine but anyone could create their own in less than a minute using SOF (Silence of the Foxes)!

It's really easy, just download it and within a few clicks youve made a silent firefox install with whatever extensions, themes, bookmarks, settings, you want.

Right, but still using that tool is a different thing.

The intention here is to see how each one has customised his browser and for a newcomer to use the one he likes, among those...

sorry for disturbing u.but posting whole setup (with all extensions,themes,plugins etc) is little heavy job.so if we can backup only our settings ie

general settings,bookmarks,userstyles,extensions,cache etc in a single file,i think it would be great.

so i use mozbackup for that.i create backup weekly once.and if some thing goes wrong with my firefox,i use this tool to get my whole settings back.

this is free and simple.download it from http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/

after backup we can share that file.

You also might be interested in custom FF builds. For the most part they include compiler optimizations for AMD and P4. Some also include SVG.
