When you check a webpage it's added to a special folder in your bookmarks. This folder is accessed by a seperate icon that calls a pulldown, allowing you to select one of the webpages listed in your RIL list. Clicking the check mark on a page that's in your RIL list will give you the option to just mark the page as read (thus removing it from your list) or save it to bookmarks, delicious, digg, reddit, ad nausium. Wonderful for saving pages you want to read later in a temporary location, and easy to move those pages into some form of longer term storage based on your needs. 2) Foxmarks: Sync my bookmarks with a server. Invaluable when combined with Read It Later, I can save links that interest me while browsing at work, then read them at home when I have more time. 3) Morning Coffee: Assign webpages to Morning Coffee to correspond to certain days of the week. Whenever you hit the Coffee button that's added to your browser it loads all the pages assigned to that day in separate tabs. Very useful if there are certain pages you visit regularly, but don't necessarily want firefox opening multiple tabs whenever you start it. 4) FoxClocks: I like maximizing my browser to take up the whole screen, this puts a clock in the bottom of the browser so I can still see what time it is and the day of the week. -- John D.
