A useful one for fans of flash:

Flash seek bar.

Then while you're running a flash animation, click that bookmark. It'll cause a flash seek bar/pause button to load below the animation.

You can unistall IE...

Firefox is not better than IE. Ive had many computers that get Spyware installed through Firefox. How do I know? Because when I look at the browser they were using when the file was installed it was firefox.

Yes IE does this too. But its false to say firefox wont let them in.
