is there an ultimate file extension manager (to work with windows 7, at least).

The Firefox crew doesn't want people using Nightly Tester Tools anymore & wants people to move to the more powerful Addon Compatibility Tester (I think that's what it's called).

Interesting, I'll check it out!

okay, thanks daddydave for pointing that out. that was the keymanager i'd seen (keyconfig) and not even attempted as i assumed it wouldn't work - it does work.
as i only wanted to use F8 to focus the address bar (just a habit i created with Maxthon) i've now set that up with just the keyconfig extension (replacing the Ctrl + L hotkey). i probably won't require anything more.
@Innuendo, sorry for not scanning through the list to check if you were using that Tab Mix Plus. i think i'm getting lost with all of the extensions and settings i'm constantly running through. i'll try and be a bit more observant next time.
let's see what else i can get stuck with...
Innuendo:
nudone, no biggie. I know I typed out a huge list. Do try DownloadStatusBar as it will stop the Downloads window from popping open every time you download something. Also get Update Notifier to stop the Updates window from popping open every time you have updates to your extensions.
Extended Statusbar will add more info to your statusbar & make it actually useful.
nudone:
i'll be trying most of the things on your list i'm sure, it's just taking a while to look and try out all the options that come with each extension.
so far, i can't see myself going back to Maxthon, but i do still miss it. not sure if these are trivial things that i'll soon forget about.
i shall be trying the Downloadstatusbar and update notifier later today - the extended statusbar i'm already familiar with.
i wonder, is there an extension manager extension. something that would allow you to quickly swap between different extensions sets. at the moment, i've set FF up for general everyday browsing use - before, i had extensions simply for web design and testing. it would be nice to keep them separate so the interface doesn't become cluttered up, i.e. you just select a group of extensions for the way you are using the browser.
nudone:
...Maxthon is slowly fading from memory.
FireFox was really annoying me with the Findbar being stuck at the bottom of the screen, i'm used to seeing at the top (in Maxthon) and just don't want to get used to it being at the bottom.
