I stumbled upon this Firefox plugin a little while ago. The features it offers are a VERY nice addition to the forums. Hopefully y'all will find this as helpful as I do!

>Download and Features Page<

Ignore Feature:
  • users
  • threads
  • keywords
  • avatars and/or signatures

Highlight Feature:
  • users
  • prefixes
  • keywords

Bottom Bar:
  • For added convenience, a bottom bar is automatically attached to the bottom of Firefox when visiting vBulletin sites. This is a feature which can be turned off in the preferences.
  • On the bar you will find the breadcrumb navigation (forum drill down links), page navigation, handy links (search, usercp, new thread, new reply) as well as some handy links for working with FfvB itself.
  • Also, the color of both the background and text is customizable to match your favorite board.

Subscriptions:
You can now "subscribe" to your favorite forums (even if they're just subforums) and view all of the thread lists in a single tab. Each forum will auto reload at intervals of your choosing (30s, 60s, 120s, etc) and are displayed in easy to read black on white text with no images.

Sidebar:
Very closely resembling the subscriptions page, this feature loads a single forum's thread list into Firefox's sidebar so that you can continue to see threads being created and bumped as you browse other sites.

Import/Export:
New in 2.2.3, there is now a feature in the preferences where you can simply copy and paste your FfvB saved lists from one installation to another and your information will be available in each copy of Firefox!

Replacement Boxes:
If you've ever ignored someone using vBulletin's ignore feature, you will recognize the replacement box stating "this user is on your ignore list, click here to view"...

This feature is off by default, but you can enable it in the preferences and all ignored users, threads, prefixes, keywords, avatars and sigs will be replaced with a box stating what was ignored and why, with an option to view.

Magic Paste:
On forums without the "enhanced textarea" which shows images directly within it, magic paste (on by default) will automatically add the [IMG][/IMG] tags when pasting a jpg, gif or png into a post.
