I like Mouse Gestures (for easy opening, closing and moving around between pages in a tab), Session Manager (which protects all the tabs and browsing history you had open if Firefox crashes) and RetailMeNot, which supplies you with all manner of online coupons for any site you're on.

I LOVE Firefox. I cannot imagine going back to IE after using it.

If you use Gmail/Google Apps and know what GTD is (getting things done, by David Allen), you have to check out GTDInbox GTDInbox - The Firefox Extension that Combines Gmail with Getting Things Done (GTD) and Productive Firefox's other product MeeTimer (blocks or times your visits to sites that you group into categories like "work" or "distraction" and helps you to stay on task. Productive Firefox - Firefox Productivity Tools » Overview

I've also found many reasons to call Greasemonkey one of my favorites https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748 you can search greasemonkey scripts at Userscripts.org

Hope you enjoy these

Yes, there is some irony in even mentioning Adblock here, especially now that some forum participants share in the forum adsense revenue. However, I think people who install Adsense are also the ones who're least likely to click on any banner ads anyway.

You can disable adblock pro on web sites if you want to :0)

I'm a fan of Adblock Plus, mostly because it eliminated the weird mortgage animals on Hotmail, and the dancing ladies / aliens on the Weather Channel site. Honestly, I don't mind ads that aren't animated (like adwords), but some ads are just ridiculous.

I use many of the ones already mentioned: Delicious, Google Notebook, Readeroo (Read Later) and PDF Download I use daily. Hyperwords, incredibly powerful, "makes every word on the web interactive", and allows you to search dictionaries, Google, wikis, quotations, get stock share prices, open a link in a new tab, shop, and tons more that I have yet to explore.

Adds a button to the tool bar. Click on the button an multiple tabs will open. You can organize the days of the week with different sites. It is the second thing I do after I open my browser...1st is to take a sip of coffee the click on the coffee button.

I use a lot of extensions that are specifically for web design/development: Web Developer, Firebug, and Colorzilla are good ones.

There's also one called fasterfox that allows you to tweak page load speeds.

I use the Sage extension for RSS feeds and I love it.
