Seriously. Go back and try 'firefox extensions'. There are billions of these threads.
 
I like mouse gestures, tab mix plus, IE tab, colorzilla, web developer, window resizer, js view, html validator, menu editor, fission, disable xpi delay.
 
forecastfox
tabbrowser preferences
downthemall
user agent switcher
download manager tweak
disable targets for downloadas
netcraft toolbar
fasterfox
ie view
cutemenus - crystal svg
adblock filterset g updater
extended statusbar
bugmenot
colorful tabs
crash recovery
adblock plus (of course)

i would list the info on them...but im getting lazy.
 
I am currently in web surfing nirvana. It took a little effort, but it was well worth it! I have instant Google search with the ability to search highlight text in a web page. Instant middle click favorites in a new tab, instant undo closed tab. Instant weather with animated radar and extended forcast. Instant script filter, instant addblock, and instant updates for addblock. Instant crash recovery, instant spell check, and the ability to open anything in IE. I can zoom or shrink any image centered on the fly. I have links to wikipedia and waybackmachine with cahced images of webpages in Google. I have instant Goodle video and direct Google image links. I see no ads or spam in Google either. I can also track all my downloads from my taskbar. Best of all I can do it all from one window in full screen mode and maintain instant access with mouse over autohide menus and taskbars. For those poor souls that wish they could do the same, here is the list of extensions and settings to do it. I also wrote this in the event I lost my back ups.
