Be warned that some extensions (or combinations of) can get Firefox to crash easily, as some are coded very badly. Excluding some of the above extensions, I use the following:

- FlashGot: for a bit more control over downloading and for perfect integration of your favourite downloadmanager.

- ColorZilla: eye dropper, color picker, page zoomer, etc

- Web Developer: Adds a bar with a lot of useful functions for people who develop websites and web applications, though you may even find it useful if you don't.

- HTML Validator: Adds HTML validation to Firefox's Page Source Viewer.

- Server Spy: Displays the webserver's signature (thus it obviously gets fooled by masking) you're currently viewing the page on in an attempt to detect what type of webserver it is.

- ShowIP: Attempts to display the IP address of the webserver of the page your viewing, though can sometimes get confused through use of proxies. Includes more IP-related features.

- Live HTTP Headers: Allows to catch the HTTP headers while browsing. Only useful for debugging purposes, though the Web Developer extension provides most of its functionality already. I really only use it for its catcher.
