    well I used to use Piclens, Foxytunes, and Download statusbar when I used 2.0, however now that I'm working with 3.0b3 I can only use Download statusbar
     
    Currently have running

    Minimize to tray. This is good. Does what the title says.
    Stumble upon. This is the best tool bar ever.
    Tab rename. Renames my tabs
    Try again. Very useful. If a page is down it will reload it until it's back on line
    Yahoo mail notifier. Notify's me on my incoming mail.
    British English Dictionary. A dictionary which I need.
    Chatzilla. An IRC client built into Firefox.
    Adblock obviously. Best Addon ever

    Aaanyway, what add-ons for Firefox do you have installed? o3o They're one of the things about Firefox that make it my choice as the best browser, I'd die without some of them. :C

    I have:
    • Adblock Plus - I know most people will have it, because it's like the best plugin ever. Pretty self explanatory, it lets you block advertisements on sites. It's godsend. :D
    • Ctrl + Tab Preview - when you press ctrl + tab in Firefox, it scrolls between your tabs (it does this by default.) With this add-on, it gives you a preview of the tabs as you're scrolling through. It makes it really easy when I have a ton of tabs open and want to find one in specific
    • FireFTP - an FTP client built right into your browser. I use FTP a lot, and FireFTP has everything I need without any of the bloat that I don't. It's wonderful. :>
    • IE Tab - an extremely useful tool for webmasters who want to test how their sites appear in IE without having to actually open it. Basically what it does is allows you to switch the rendering engine from Firefox to IE, but only in one tab.
    • Save Complete - you know how you can save pages with File -> Save Page As? Well, that's largely ineffective since it doesn't save external CSS nor images referenced in the CSS (background images, etc.) Save Complete replaces that function and saves a PERFECT copy of the page. It's awesome. :D
    • Web Developer - an amazing add-on that adds far too much for me to even begin to explain. (Uploaded a screenshot, click here.) The main thing I use it for is the CSS editing, it lets you edit the CSS of the page you're viewing and see the results in real time, right there on the page. If you're into web development, I totally recommend it.
    I used to have more installed, but I had to reinstall Firefox and I lost them all. D: Soo, what does everyone else use? :>

    To be honest, I've never actually installed any plugins in FireFox but I think I might get some of those since they sound interesting.

    EDIT: I just got Adblock Plus.

    I'll post my list later, but I love Ad-Block plus and the stink some webmasters make over it. Great download. Might be one of the best ever.
     
    I currently have these plugins installed:

    1. DownloadHelper - Captures flash and video content.
    2. Firebug - Allows CSS/HTML editing on websites. I recently added this one and haven't had much of a chance to use it yet.
    3. IE Tab - Allows you to view sites as IE would render them.
    4. PicLens - A really nice full-screen 3-D tool for viewing pictures. Great for browsing DeviantART and Photobucket. :]
    5. Save Complete - Saves exact copies of website pages.

    I didn't have Save Complete before I read this thread, but I thought it sounded really useful in Ausaudriel's and couldn't resist downloading it. :D
     
    I have a lot that I use all the time and that I can't imagine being without. XD

    Livejournal Addons
    Greasemonkey
    Adblock Plus
    Colorzilla
    Gmail Notifier
    Resizeable Form Fields
    Mouse Gestures
    Tab Mix Plus
    Fire FTP

    edit: Ahaha, those are the ones I can't live without. In addition, I have these installed...

    Abduction!
    Canadian English Dictionary
    Download Statusbar
    Download Helper
    dragdropupload
    FasterFox
    Firebug
    Flashgot
    Foxmarks Bookmarks Synchronizer
    Gmail Space
    Load Time Analyzer
    Long Titles
    Measure It
    Table2Clipboard
    WebDeveloper
    Window Resizer

    Audy, I may have to grab a few from your list there. Save Complete sounds divine and Ctrl+Tab Preview sounds very useful to me, especially right now where I'm not sure what about 6 tabs are since they have similar titles. XD;
     
    I have no plug-ins what so ever. :D
    One reason I use Firefox is its simplicity, it does what I need it to do — no sense in me adding anything to it.
     
    This is why I like Firefox, the addons sometimes are really helpful. But not to the extent where I can't live without them.

    I've currently got these installed:
    - Countdownclock
    - Download statusbar (better than opening FF's download menu)
    - DownThemAll
    - FoxyTunes (handy sometimes, but slows down FF =\)
    - IE Tab (good for those MS sites where IE must be used. x.x)
    - Now Playing X (Helpful addon for WLM purposes)
    - Speed Dial
    - VideoDownloader
     
    i love the ad block and videodownloader. =]
     
    I use three:
    Adblock Plus - of course;
    Download Statusbar - nice and neat :] ;
    Firesizer - I always put my window in the lower half of my screen, so it's at a weird size. So whenever crappy sites come along and resize my window, I can just pop it back to what I had it as (1024x600).
     
    Adblock Plus, though not on all sites.
    Download Statusbar, just for it's convenience.
    Extended Statusbar (just like in Opera). I have this to prove that a watched pot boils :P
    Firebug, just for whenever I feel like looking at webpage code.
    IE Tab, for convenience.
    Long Titles, exclusively for the purpose of reading xkcd ♥

    uh, I also use Page Title Eraser, for the secretive times ;D, and Paste and Go 2, which I have been forgetting to use, but it's pretty useful. I used to use chatzilla a lot as well, but now I have a separate client.
     
    I use IE Tab so I can test all my layouts in IE and FF without having to open IE (because it SUCKS D:) ;D
    I also use Colorzilla, Web Developer, and Mouse Gestures, the latter because I missed having that when I used Opera.
