I'd put in another plug for Firebird,
 
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firebird/releases/0.6/MozillaFirebird-0.6-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz

 just get the tarball, unzip it into /usr/local or /opt
 bang a link into /usr/local/bin and away you go.

Lots of nice features,
 smooth scrolling that is positively seductive,
 center clicking opens links in a tab in the background!

The preferences you can't set in Tools:Options
 you set by going to "about:config"

Things like having a home page
 but a new window opening on blank.

To get St George and Credit Union banking going
 just put a "libjavaplugin_oji.so" link into the plugins dir.
For St George you also need to go to
 Tools:Options:Web Features
 and allow stgeorge.com.au to send popups.

The digger extension gives some very nice extra functionality
 like being able to clear the location bar, 
 move up directories, etc.
Have a look in the extension room

Enjoy, Like Damien Elmes said, "I haven't looked back".
