Auto copy is useful because it will automatically copy what you've highlighted onto your clipboard. I mean, what else would you be highlighting text for anyway? Auto Copy is available at https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=383&application=firefox.
I added the Google toolbar... Some useful parts of the Google toolbar is knowing how many sites are referenced for a particular search term. For example, there are over 16 million hits on "learn japanese". No wonder it would be difficult to get Japanese Tutor better search results.
There is also a tool called Conquery to allow querying of highlighted text by using the context menu (right-click). It's sort of useful to be able to highlight the name of a movie, perhaps found on a program guide, then right click to look up the movie in IMDB. Conquery is available at http://conquery.mozdev.org/installation.html.
And finally, I did add an extension which makes it possible to right-click in Gmail to preview your mail... The guy intentionally did not do it while hovering over mail because he said it was not very well performing, but actually, I don't find right-clicking so convenient either. I mean, if I am going to have to click to see the mail, then I might as well left-click. Gmail preview bubbles are available at http://persistent.info/archives/2005/08/20/gmail-preview-bubbles.
Oh, and this image is simply that there are products, such as Window Blinds, which allow you to use skins to customize your Windows appearence... This one in particular has some transparency in the windows to allow you to see what's underneath. A review of Window Blinds is available at Extreme Tech. I don't have Window Blinds myself... Sometimes I have to think about whether I really need something before I buy it... Hey, wait a minute. What's "need" have to do with spending money?
