Just curious as to what Firefox extensions people are using ?

Mine:

Adblock plus
Flashblock
All-in-One Gestures ( uses mouse for forward/back/close etc)
CoolPreview (Pops up a small page when pointer hovered over link)
ForecastBar Enhanced ( I go fishing and need to get a good weather forecast)

Quite a few Plugins, many of which I disable ... like MS Office, Adobe Acrobat etc - I don't believe I need them to enhance my Firefox browsing ...

Wasn't sure what forum to post in, as it's not technically a windows-only product ...

DownThemAll! is a great download manager that is one reason why I haven't sailed away in the chrome-boat. If you're a dabbler or a keen web developer then the "Web Developer" toolbar is awesome too.

NoScript and Adblockplus are my main ones, NoScript is definitely the best plugin for FF ever.

I also have screengrab, unhide fields, Torbutton and foxyproxy, but those have gone unused in a looong time.

Adblock Plus
Firebug (for development)
IE View Lite
Linkification
Scribefire (for testing metaweblog API)
Xmarks (love this one, but turn off the search suggestions etc. just use the bookmark sync)

I'm running a lot of the extensions mentioned here, the one I can't live without is the Web Developer toolbar. Gives me quick and easy access to a variety of different things, makes developing so much easier.

Tree Style Tab. Really handy, especially when you are looking up a lot of documentation online. Organises your tabs more effectively, and it runs them down the side which is great on a widescreen monitor.

It's a bit out of date, but I've only removed CookieCuller and ChatZilla.

Syncplaces does something similar except to somewhere I choose.
Probably not better (only Fx, kind of a pain to configure/use), but it means I know exactly where the file ends up and how to get it back if the provider/author disappears.
