Definitely Foxmarks (can't live without it).
Also love CoolPreviews, FoxTabs, Removetabs and DownloadStatusbar as they make browsing much easier.
PDF Downloads to print any webpage into PDF and 'Add to Search Bar' to add any sort of search forefox's searchbar (like say no to 0870 search).
The main reasons I love FireFox...
Oh and of course FEBE to allow me to back my 30+ extensions up.Do I want it? ......Do I need it? ......What would happen if I don't buy it??????0 -

Adblock Plus is essential.

Scrapbook - I like to save offline web pages without having to bookmark them, this works great if you are always on the move.0 -

NoScript is the single, most useful add-on ever, and Adblock Plus comes a close second.
Other than those, Fetch Text URL allows you to open a plain text URL via the context menu, and while most of the features in Tab Mix Plus have gradually been included in the main Firefox application, there are a few tweaks (putting tabs on multiple lines, changing the formatting of active/inactive/pointed-to tabs, etc.)
For basic macro scripting, iMacros is quite handy too.0 -
