Other nice improvements:

* Change pipelining settings in 'about:config' (this and more can now be done
using a front-end extension called FasterFox)

* Disable scripts (NoScript extension is a good front end that permits
white/blacklists to be accumulated)

* Disable Flash (NoFlash, AdBlock and/or NoScript)

* Use chrome CSS to exclude all ads that AdBlock does not capture (can be
further modified to kill ads in your favourite sites, merely by looking at
page source)

* Disable more popups in 'about:config' (risking some false-positives
exclusions)

* With the Web Developer extension, CSS can be altogether disabled. Nice and
clean! Can override CSS with to suit your own preferences too.

* Be happy
