There are a few Firefox Add-Ons that I can't live without, Here's my short list (IE the absolute essentials. Obviously, I have lots more, but I can give or take them):
AdBlock Plus - This is the one everybody in the world has. Websites look SO much different when I see them with the actual ads on them now (ie at a friends house w/ only internet explorer)
Repagination - Loads all pages in a list on a single page... So when I'm browsing the books at gigapedia.org, I can load 20+ pages onto 1, and scroll right through 300-500 books without having to reload a page. Huge timesaver. (For Firefox 3, get the Non-Official version here > Repagination Firefox 3)
FireFTP right in the browser - no more wasted effort or time trying to look for FTP software and no need to go out of the browser
All in one gestures - great time saving tool once you learn a few basic mouse gestures(takes only 5 mins).
Web Developer - helps with website development, very helpful while designing pages, scrutinizing existing sites.
PicLens - great tool for:
- searching for images
- browsing through images on websites (google yahoo facebook myspace)
- searching youtube
- video news
Fun and easy to use
IE Tab - awesome plugin that Enables you to use the embedded IE engine within Mozilla/Firefox. With a single click, you can test for cross-browser compatibility
AI Roboform (saves my passwords and logon info...good for paying a lot of bills online)
DNSStuff Tools-Bar
Gladder - great proxy tool. You forget it's there.
Video Download Helper - to save videos from Youtube etc on my HD
PDF Download - to avoid the annoying load time of online PDFs (personal pet peeve)
Tempomail - generate a temporary email on the fly with one right-click

Thank you for your useful info..Does your Firefox slow when install all of those extension?
@Van
I personally use over 10 extensions and never seem to have a performance issue.
Enjoy
Good stuff. I use/have used most of those in the list, but Repagination is new to me, that's a great extension! I'm gonna' play with it very shortly. :) Piclens is awesome, but I've never been able to justify having it installed for regular use. Maybe I'll give it another shot though.
Repagination sounds like a real time saver. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the great info. There's a couple extensions here that I really should check out.
Something to say?
