Also, uh, you can zoom in a webpage just by holding CTRL and scrolling up or down with the mouse wheel.

And god, Squall! You're a Firefox freak! Lol.

Not really, this list is actually shorter then what it was... i've had to remove a few extensions that break 3.0, plus some that already exist as functions in 3.0.

[theartofbone]

Wow I feel lost in this thread... Im using a plain old vanilla Fire Fox 2.x student/college edition, with Foxy Tunes, Start Stumbling and Zotero... and haven't used ANY of the three..

[Wortany]

Foxmarks.....very handy for when your using multiple pc's.
Greasemonkey

[webarchitect]

Just a few extensions I love using..

Roboform
Phishtank Checker
SeoQuake
AdBlock Plus
ScribeFire
Tab Mix Plus


I like Firefox, especially 3.0. It loads faster than 2.0

[kahlil88]

My favorites:
* Adblock Plus
* Download Statusbar
* CuteMenus - Tango
* IE Tab

[Mad]

I only use those:

[Hard core Rikki]

A couple formidable ones seem slightly missing...

[Exodus]

I'm surprised so few use NoScript. Is there some other add-on that does the same thing?

[Linktothepast]

Themes
Blue ice 2
Aero fox


Also extra programs

Download accelerator plus (download manager)
Speedbit video acceleration (it greatly increases the speed of video playback from video sites like youtube).

[The Magic Hobo]

Adblock Plus
NoScript
Keyscrambler
Fasterfox
Foxyproxy
UnPlug

English Dictionary
FireFTP

[Proto]

Most of what I use has been mentioned already, however a few useful ones that haven't been are:

Multiple tab handler: Gives you multiple options for managing tabs, useful for people like me who have 15+ tabs open at once Closing multiple tabs, moving a group of tabs to a new window with two clicks, etc.

Hash Colored tabs: This one is more for aesthetic purposes but in tandem with multiple tab handler it's useful. For those sites that don't have their own little site icon for the tab to put on (like the vbulletin icon for ngemu), it generates a little random-colored square for that site to use. Useful for knowing which tabs are from the same site/server when you have many open. Then you can rearrange them and easily perform some operation on them with multiple tab handler.

pdf download: More useful for people who use firefox on linux, it permits you to select different options when handling a pdf (instead of opening directly in the browser, you can choose to let an external viewer handle it or just download it)

speed dial: similar to the home page in opera, it shows you astart page with a little image mosaic of different sites you frequent, so you can simply click on the one you are interested at the moment.

Rikaichan: For the people who study japanese/browse japanese sites, this plugin provides popup hints on japanese words. Meaning if you find a kanji/ a kanji word it will popup with information about the kanji, or the word it forms, pronuntiation and various information.

I don't think so.

But yeah, not a lot of people use it. Probably because every time you encounter a website that needs a script to view (java, flash, etc) you have to click "allow scripts from http://www.xxxxxx.com"

But I don't mind. Makes me feel safe

[aceloop]

doesnt adding like 50 addons slow down firefox?

[SCHUMI-4-EVA]

No, not really....

[Leiw]

can't live without :

AdBlock Plus
NoScript
TabMixPlus
TabScope
oldbar (disables FF3 "awesomebar" to make it FF2 like)

[Rockfire]

These are my favorite Firefox extensions so far.

Customize Google
Download them all
Fasterfox - must be specially installed in FF3
Google Preview
Image Zoom
Links and Forms - Replaces the missing features that were not present in FF3
List all images
NoScripts
Page Zoom
Redirect remover
Right-click-link

The most important in that list would most probably be.
All-in-one sidebar, smoothwheel, MR Teck toolkit (I strongly recommend everyone take a look at this one...especially if there is a suposedly incompatible extension you may want to use or you hate an update of FF rendering half your extensions unusable), flashblock, extended statusbar, Adblock Plus, Tab Mix Plus and the number one extension which made FF equal Avant on features, Image Toolbar.

Yes I realize I may have some extensions which double up, but it's simply not worth the effort it's going to take to find out which ones perform the same tasks to actually go about doing that.
I do however welcome any pointers over which extensions might be fullfilling the same purpose.

I can't stand NoScript...so it's disabled...if it would prompt me whilst loading a page whether I want to allow the page full access or not and then some more restricted options it might be usefull...but as it is it's more of a pain than any browser bomb will ever be.
Also RemoveCookies for Site has been made compatible by Mr Tech Toolkit again, I have just not restarted my browser since so it's still disabled.
