Best Firefox Extensions.

My personal ones are:

AdBlock Plus (for blocking annoying ads)
Foxmarks (For synchronising your bookmarks across many computers)
ChatZilla (Intergrated IRC client)
ErrorZilla (Find out the problem if a page doesn't load)
Ghostery (Find out whos watch what you're doing)
WOT or Web of Trust (See if the site you're visiting is ok)

    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??????

    Noscript (As savemoney says ~ a security MUST)
    Downemall (pretty neat freebie bulk downloading utility)
    Google toolber (So I can get my bookmarks on any machine)
    Cooliris (cool photo viewer for facebook, google images etc)

    I used to have loads, but dont now as they can create probelms
    :idea:
  • Colourful Tabs - adds little but looks nice
    Foxy Tunes
    It's taken me years of experience to get this cynical
  • Adblock Plus is essential.
    Noscript less so if you already have ABP and have FF 3.0
    Gmail manager if you have multiple Gmail accounts.
    Scrapbook - I like to save offline web pages without having to bookmark them, this works great if you are always on the move.

    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.
