Personally, I prefer NoScript, which blocks both flash animations and javascript, as well as preventing cross-site scripting (XSS).

5. You have perfect timing because I just got pissed at a site that had javascript bogging things down!
I loves me some Firefox! :)

8. I started using Thunderbird for my email a couple of years ago...
I am thinking about using Firefox but because I am an idiot when it comes to a lot of this internet stuff, I have procrastinated switching.

9. Flash block is sweeeeet!
Love it. It basically places an "F" where a flash animation exists and you can choose whether to play it or not.
