Well, I was going to say that I suggest using a different client.  Firefox IRC feels really bare-bones to me.

Something like Mirc or X-Chat 2 is much more feature-rich.

Details?  I have mIRC, but why should I use it?

I dunno, I just prefer the feel of a stand-alone program.  Usually has better scripting features, logging features, etc.

I tried Chatzilla but there were some issues that drove me off.
1. I had to constantly fight in order to get scandinavian alphabets to display correctly, with varying results.
2. If I've deduced this correctly, a crashing Firefox will also take the Chatzilla with it and a crashing IRC client is never a beautiful thing.

Currently my weapon of choice for IRCing is Orion.

OK, Nuke uses Pidgin.. I'll have to check these out.
