Browser Window Real Estate

Firefox extensions are one of the main reason the opensource browser had gained user base, and for good reason. But for many of them to be truly useful, browser real estate has to be sacrificed for a button, indicator, switch, and what not.

Some that had been dumped include the like of "FootieFox,":http://www.footiefox.de "ForecastFox,":http://forecastfox.mozdev.org/ and "foxytunes.":http://www.foxytunes.com/

Here are those currently allowed to take the precious spaces.
