I just reformatted my hard drive, re-installed Windows XP, and having done that, I also upgraded from Firefox 2.X(I forget which version) to Firefox 3.

I’m trying to find some extensions/add-ons that are similar to what I had with Firefox 2, but I can’t find a few. I’d appreciate your help. 🙂

1. I want Mouse Gestures. However, I want to be able to use the left-click of the mouse to activate the gesture, not the right click. I had been using MouseGestures 1.5.2, but I can’t find it for Firefox 3. All of the gestures I’ve found have used the right-click button and haven’t had the option to make it the left. Anyone know a good, simple, gesture add-on that can do this?

2. I want the Download Manager Tweak, which makes the download manager open in a tab and adds a few features. I haven’t been able to find this yet. Anyone know of it or a similar one?

Thanks!

I don’t know about a download mgr that uses tabs, but I like [Download Statusbar](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/26) which uses…wait for it…the status bar to manage downloads.
