Firefox extensions

I have to say I found most of the extensions a bit unnecessary, or perhaps I just don't like too much fiddling. However, I do like the LibX extensions, this looks really useful for students and staff. I also like the 23things toolbar, lots of quick links. My only problem now is I have so much "stuff" at the top of the screen that I sometimes find it hard to see what I am looking at.

The zotero software looks like it will need a bit of working on. Although I seemed to be able to do the basics I could not do much more than this and ran out of time to try a few different things. It looks interesting and may be an easier alternative to Endnote. The libraries Pam emailed about looked like they had embraced it and encouraged their students to use it.
