Hi,
I'm new to FireFox, and I got few questions to ask.
FireFox seems to be a nice browser, because it has massive, and useful extensions. Thats why I moved from Opera to FireFox.

I'm using,

AdBlock Plus
NoScript
AdBlock Filterset.G Updater
IE Tab
CookieSafe

But people seem to recommend SpoofStick too.
I'm using the latest verision of FireFox, which is 2.0.0.9.
But the Spoofstick from the Official page of Spoofstick seems to be not compatible with my version of FireFox. Is there anyway that I can find
the version of spoofstick that is compatible with FF v 2.0.0.9?
Thanks in advance,

Best Regards

P.S is there more useful (safety) extensions that I can add?

I couldnt find a bumped version though you can try Locationbar² (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4014) as a sort of alternative.

Other extensions you can consider are SiteAdvisor (http://www.siteadvisor.com/), WOT (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3456), Finjan SecureBrowsing (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4892), or SiteHound (http://www.firetrust.com/en/products/sitehound).

FYI, the developer of adblock plus does not recommend the use of filterset.G. Also, the dev of cookiesafe has upgraded the program to cs lite. Although it is not yet available from Mozilla, it can be downloaded at.

I have used both and prefer cs lite, although I had no issues with cookiesafe.

One of best programs you get for ad blocking is Ad Muncher. It's written entirely in Assembler Code. If any program deserves any money its that one. There's loads of options of every kind. It will not just block your browser but block adverts from all ports. The program is only around 500k. Constantly Updated.

Don't use Filterset G! (http://adblockplus.org/en/faq_project#filterset.g)

I second the opinion on CS Lite. I like it MUCH better than CookieSafe. If nothing else, it's easier to use...

Just for your info, the later versions are now written in C to make it easier to maintain and improve

Cheers,
