  1. Firefox 3.x US version for compatibility + plugins, 
    1. TextMarker Go - Now my new favourite highlighter. Additional features F2 to jump to next highlight is also nice. Change colour using CTRL or SHIFT. F12 to use keyboard to highlight.
    2. MM3-ProxySwitch - Simple UI for switching proxies but still a bit too complicated for novices.
      1. After install Right click on white space beside the help and choose Customize
      2. Scroll down and look for the mm3 icon
      3. Drag icon to where you want on the browser, I put it on the right of my address bar
    3. Spell checking in forms will only be enabled unless if you have a dictionary. Right-click on a form field and Add Dictionaries...
    4. Disable anti-virus scanning on downloads
      1. about:config
      2. browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone
    5. New Tab Homepage - show homepage on new tab create.
    6. English Canadian dictionary or whatever dictionary you want and change it to the default.
    7. Tab Mix Plus - manages tabs for multi-row, also gives the ability to remove the "x" on the tab to prevent accidental closing
  2. Firefox 5.x (all above plugins are compatible with the exceptions listed below),
    1. TextMarker! - Similar to Highlighter, but as of 0.3.4 missing features for printing and saving with highlights. Still, it is at least up to date.
  3. Chrome
    1. Proxy Switch! - Quick proxy switcher and because Chrome shares proxy settings with IE using this more often then Proxy Switcher.
    2. Control cache folder via command switch "...chrome.exe" --disk-cache-dir="CACHE_DIR" --disk-cache-size=N
  4. TCP View (Systernal utility to watch all open connections, good for network troubleshooting).
  5. Proxy Switcher Lite - only free decent utility to quickly proxy switch in IE. Not too happy with it though.
