Add Ons

Add to search bar Not working automatically but better than nothing. I am not seeing a way of adding search engines, such as flickr creative commons, flickr my images, and google scholar, to the list without using an add-on.

Switch Locale

Get language packs here then use the above Switch Locale add-on to switch between them.

Tab Utilities For Maxthon-like control of opening links in new tabs. This the non-lite version has the option of a single window mode which I use a la maxthon classic.

Quick Drag For maxthon-like drag to search, with option for drag to open in the case of links. Uses the search engine selected in the search bar.

Always ".com" Google.com in English Essential for expats because google insists on redirecting users to the language prevalent in the locale of the ip address of the user irrespective of the prefered language in the browser (selected in tools>options>contents>language) and irrespective of how one sets one search preferences. Crazy.

Download Flash and Video allows us to do what it says, with a button at the bottom right of the screen.
