I've found flashblock to be extremly useful because many advertisers are relying on flash these days for thier message

Tab Mix Plus - Just awesome all around - one feature I found most useful was I set it up so when i double click on active tab I can close all other tabs.

Quick Perferences Button - cool all around but most effective in blocking blinking text and java applets.

Adblock and G filter set - no ads flashblock does'nt catch.🙂


Great "About:config" tweak: to stop balloon tips /tool tips in browser which can be distracting..

browser.chrome.toolbar_tips [Boolean] - If set to true, small 'tooltips' (popup boxes with descriptive text) will be shown when you hover over items in your Firefox toolbar, as well as on certain objects in some webpages. If you don't like tooltips, set this value to false.

Thats all
Any other ideas?🙂
 
This is what I use:

Adblock Plus + Filterset G
-No ads make me happy.

ForecastFox
-I like to see the weather.

IE Tab
-Embedding Internet Explorer in tabs of Mozilla/Firefox

Disable Targets For Downloads
-eliminates a common error incurred by many webmasters, which ultimately causes blank windows to be opened when you try to download a binary file.

DownThemAll!
-Mass dowloader
 
Just installed Flashblock thanks to you. Muy bien!

In addition I use:

NoScript - Prevents Java Scripts from running
Adblock Plus + Filterset.G
Tab Mix Plus since Tab Browser Preferences stopped working
IE View Lite

Well, I like Stumble Upon
because it allows me to visit sites related to my interests I'd have never found otherwise. I now visit many of those sites frequently, and the cool thing is that, the more you use it and rate sites, the more refined the results are.

Don't forget to add flashblock icon to toolbar for easy enable/disabling🙂

Extensions I currently have installed/enabled:

Adblock Plus + Filterset.G - it's just brilliant. 😛

Compact Menu - consolidates the File, Edit, etc. menus into one main button. Nice when you like to smash everything (nav buttons, address bar, search, etc.) into one row.

Flashgot - gives me the option of downloading files with an external download manager (such as KGet). FF very rarely crashes, but it really sucks when it does and I was in the middle of a large download.

Slim Extension List - extensions take up less vertical space in the extension window (until you click on them), which is nice when you have a bunch installed.

Tab Clicking Options - am using this as I like to double-click on tabs to close them. Tab Mix Plus has this option too, but it causes FF to lag horribly for me. 🙁

TorrentFlux Add - for easily adding torrents to my TorrentFlux (PHP front-end to BitTornado) queue. It just saves a bit of time versus saving/uploading the torrent or copying/pasting the URL.
 
This listing was generated by Infolister, with a custom template made by user Rommel here at Anandtech, which formats the output properly for Anandtech's implementation of BBCode formatting.
Here it is (it's just a text file). In Infolister is a tab where you can load the custom template.

I like this post!

gonna give this one a try, using alot of the other ones mentioned.

"Tab Clicking Options - am using this as I like to double-click on tabs to close them. Tab Mix Plus has this option too, but it causes FF to lag horribly for me. 🙁 "
 
I am suprised that not that many people are using All in One Gestures. It's one of the first extension that I install when re/installing FireFox. For me, it's kinda weird to surf the net without using the All in One Gestures because I'm so used to it. Basically, the extension allows you to use mouse gestures to execute almost any commands in FireFox, such as going back and forward in the page history, view cookies, close current tab, Go Up to parent directory / domain, etc.

Here are some of the extensions that I use.

Adblock Plus + Filterset.G
What can be said about these two extensions that hasn't been said already. Well, except for maybe it should be built into FireFox.

All-in-One Gestures 0.17.4
As stated above, allows you to execute commands using mouse gestures. *You must check it out*

Auto Copy 0.6.2
Copies selected text automatically like in Linux and mIRC. Saves you the extra step of pressing CTRL-C or using the right mouse button.

Fasterfox 1.0.3
Speeds up FireFox.

IE Tab 1.0.8
Does the same thing as IE View except the page is displayed in a tab.

Linkification 1.2.3
Converts text links into genuine, clickable links.

 
forecastfox - displays weather nationally/internationally
adblock plus - gets rid of ads from web-pages and can use whitelisting
tabbrowser preferences - tab options
downthemall - mass downloader for firefox
user agent switcher - changes firefox to make sites think its IE, Opera, Netscape, etc
download manager tweak - changes the appearance and allows the download window to be open in a seperate window etc...
netcraft toolbar - blocks phishing sites
fasterfox - performance and network tweaks
IE view - open pages in IE via firefox menus
cutemenus - adds icons to all menu items
adblock updater - synchronizes adblock
extended statusbar - the statusbar with speed, percentage, time, loaded size (like Operas)
bugmenot - bypass compulsory web registration
colorful tabs - makes every tab a different color
crash recovery - "automagically" recovers all windows and tabs if firefox crashes

definitely ALL good ones to have.
 
NoScript
Answers (Alt+Click on any word to get info/definitions)
Gmail Notifier (Adds icon to status bar that displays gmail info)
GooglePreview (Adds site picture to google searches)
ShowIP (utterly pointless, but adds IP of current site to status bar)
Tab X (Adds a close button to tabs, but fairly unused now as I realised middle click closes a tab....)
IE Tab (Embed IE in a tab, can switch rendering engines for a site [Windowsupdate in FF mainly...])
Adblock Plus
Flashblock
Tab History (Links opened in a new tab retain history from original tab)


About to get All-In-One Gestures, I've been convinced. 🙂
