Mine...

Adblock - Blocks ADS....

Session Saver - Remembers loaded tabs and their history items when Firefox is manually closed, then restores the tabs and history items when next started.

Recommend some other good ones..

Can't believe nobody uses mouse gestures. Thanks for the adblock one, its great, the use of the wildcard on ad servers kills alot of ads.

I've had mixed success with tabbedbrowserextensions (TBE). On the one hand, it does allow you to re-order tabs and it does allow you to selectively enable/disable features on a per-tab basis (don't want tab #3 to execute Javascript? you got it, boss). However, the main reason I installed TBE was so that the browser would remember tab sessions when the browser closes or crashes (it's the one remaining feature of Galeon that I wish Mozilla/Firefox would incorporate). I've had zero success getting that to work.

The flash-click-to-view extension kicks ass.

No need for the adblock extension since I run privoxy on this machine which handles ad blocking. Highly recommend this program if you've never tried it. It picked up where Junkbuster left off. Supports regex-based blocking just like Junkbuster but it adds dynamic filtering. You can set up a filter to modify HTML on-the-fly. Anything you want to do. If you don't want flashing text, set up a filter to remove the the <blink> tag. Or you can set up a filter to modify the HTML so that any frames are given resizeable borders, filter out automatic refresh tags, anything.

All of the above are great. I like TabrowserExtension the best b/c of the flexibility of using shortcut mouse maneuvers to play around with the tabs.

I also like External Applications Buttons, Blockfall (tetris), calendar, mozcalc, Quicknote, adblock, tabscroller, clonewindow.

Tabscroll, think thats what its called, is pretty nice. Hold down the right mouse button and you can scroll through your tabs.

firemirrors.com, dictionary.com and UK google for search box, if they count as extensions.

edit: how come some extensions come up with the install prompt etc when clicking on them, liek they should, and others just act as if you're downloading a file and dont install?
