Mozilla to enable Click to Play for all Firefox plugins by default

I been using click-to-play in Chrome for months. The whitelist sites feature is useful. Chrome exposes the white list API to extensions. I am guessing that the about:config settings might be available to firefox extensions, so someone can write an add-on with plugin+site specific enable/disable...

Firefox slow on certain sites

I didn't notice any performance issue with firefox on my machine. If a fresh install isn't fixing the issue then maybe you have a bad plugin. Try disabling/enabling plugins. Also check if plugins are up to date: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ Beside the Adblock, you can also run...

On Windows I use Paint.net for 'screenshots' and some basic editing/layers images. For a bit advanced stuff, I use Gimp. I think Gimp also has plugins which you can search for and install in Gimp to get extra effects.

Whenever you get a chance walk on un-even surface. Instead of walking on cemented path, maybe walk along it on soft, gravel surface. This way the pressure points on your feet changes on every step unlike walking on flat hard surface.
