it also stops youtube videos from downloading until you ask it to start, useful for when you want to browse through related videos.

Flagfox - Shows the location of the server of the site you are visiting, not that it matters, but it's sometimes nice to know more than less.

NOTES:
Snaplinks - This version won't work with the latest version of Firefox 3, but I think there is a copy of one that does, I currently run FF 2 for a couple of reasons, thus I haven't tested the copy that works on FF 3.
PD:Mangopie ffound one that works with FF3!
