It's Phoenity, I have also removed all the text menus and added a bookmark, options and extensions icon (because of the removed text menus) via this extension. The next icon is for FireFTP and then my Gmail notifier. The refresh button is combined with the stop button, so while a page is loading you'll see the stop instead of a refresh and when it's loaded you see only refresh. Finally, I have Tab Mix Plus to add the X on my tabs instead of it being on the far right.

i havent found any ftp sites to test out the new FireFTP add-on ...any suggestions?

I use firefox and it's a lot faster than IE. You got to change the settings.

Because I'm lazy, I did a search on the siccness (yes, the search feature does work) and found this info from Mr Ry

type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. You'll see a bunch of settings. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a Web page at a time.
When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

Next, alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true" by right clicking on it and choosing "Toggle".
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages much faster now!
