1) how to get click sound when clicking a link in firefox

Get this plugin..
*www.extensionsmirror.nl/extfirefox/Sound_Extension_1.0_pass1.xpi

2)How to avoid getting timeout when viewing any web site in firefox
Get this Mozilla Optimizer, it keeps the connection alive....
*www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Browser-Tweak/Mozilla-Optimizer.shtml

3)how to import new bookmarks of IE in firefox
I have imported all the bookmarks of IE in firefox when i installed firefox.
Got Bookmarks>Manage Bookmarks, then File>Import..

4)what to set in configure proxies to access the internetp
Are u directly connected to Net or not?Anyway, take a look at this...
*support.shaw.ca/browsers/firefoxproxy.htm

5)I am using IE and firefox together
i have minimize firefox window but it is automatically maximizing
Go to Tools>Options, then go to Web Features and select Block PopUP Windows.

6)When i exit only 1 firefox windows all firefox windows gets exit.
This is very bad.
When u want to close any one of tabs or windows, use small "Close" icon (that icon with a Cross mark) that resides along the Tabs and the main Close icon above.Also u can Right Click on Tabs and Close it.

Proxies can be set from
Tools -> Options -> General -> Connection Settings
Change it to Automatic detection or Manual detection .. as u need

moreover there is a very useful extension called SwitchProxy ( or here ) ..
which allows easy changing of proxies ..
