'DownTheMALL' is handy for grabbing images from a directory (Porn, Screenshots, whatever).

Adblock can be useful if you want to filter out annoying ads on pages you visit regularly.

'Wizz RSS' is a real slick news reader. Surprisingly comprehensive for an extension.

the one extension that I use more than anything else by 1000 fold is "Paste and Go".

Another vote for Adblock, it's a must now ads are around that take of the screen when you mouseover, which by the way is a fucking disgraceful tactic.

What I have

plain text links:
Select plain text, right click it and open a new tab/window with the selected text as URL. Handy for those on forums that are unable to understand UBB code.

copy images:
copies an image to clipboard (instead of the image address)

bugmenot:
see http://www.bugmenot.com

bbcode:
right click to insert bbcode/html code

IE view:
open a link in IE

Duplicate tab:
duplicate a tab including it's history

Not really. I had it installed because the online banking site of my bank only worked in IE a while ago. But they changed it and now it works in FF as well.

I forgot to list lget as well. Adds a "new download" button to the download manager. Paste in the URL of a file and it'll download it.

My dad can't occasionally hop over to my computer to use his work stuff when someone's on his, because I've uninstalled Internet Explorer and his work software is in ActiveX *grin*
