I also love Firefox, using it both at work and home. My two extensions of choice are:

Mouse Gestures:
http://optimoz.mozdev.org/gestures/index.html
which allows you to do all browser actions with gestures of the mouse.

and Tabbrowser Preferences:
http://www.pryan.org/mozilla/site/TheOneKEA/tabprefs/
which allows you to setup the tabbed browsing how it should have been originally... including stuff like searches from the search box go automatically into a new tab rather than overwriting your current tab.

"Now if only I could figure out Ryerson's library catalouge... I wouldn't mind a search plugin for that."

If you look at the downloaded search extensions like the google one or whatever, they are just basic text files so you can create your own little search deelies for anything you want!! :)

Hey Andrew! Good to hear from you.

Search extensions seem relatively simple but I can't figure out how the Ryerson library is doing its searches.

For example, if I'm searching by title from this page there should be some sort of GET in the method="get" in the form tag but I can't see it anywhere in the source file.

And it would seem that I would need to make a new extension for different types of searches (title, author, keyword, etc.)... now that would be a pain the ass.

Windows 2000/XP have WebDAV built-in; it's just not obvious that it's there. However, it's quite easy to set up a WebDAV connection. Just go to My Network Places and click to add a new place. Enter the URL of your WebDAV folder, and then your user/pass if needed. That's it!
