What extensions are you using for Firefox?

Simple Question. Possibly simple answer.

I use the following:

Adblock ----> BEST EXTENSION EVER
Weatherfox- Helpful
Magpie- Cant remember why I got this
Open Link In- "Adds more tab, window opening options"
Open New window from here- "Open a new browser window/tab from current url location"
Chatzilla- IRC for Firefox. Dont use it, but I have it.
Tabbrowser preference- Tabbed browsing rocks. This makes it rock harder.
Disable Targets for Downloads- Gets rid of those pesky empty windows when opening a download.
Google Preview- Gives an image preview of what a website looks like when you do a google search.

That, and also scrapbook to copy text & formatting from a website, and DOM Inspector. I don't know what that one does.

Cat loaf, meet mouseloaf.

I guess it's been a while since the last time we had this discussion. I recently brought all my Firefox-related software up to date, so I have:

Launchy - gives extra options for opening links
Adblock
Mouse Gestures - I love these, even if I mainly use "back" and the picture sizing gestures.
ForecastFox
Tabbrowser Extensions - I like this one a little more than Tabbrowser Preferences, I don't know why.
Toolbar Enhancements - used mainly to put the "new tab" button on the tab bar.
Sage - RSS reader, used for Slashdot, Penny Arcade, and a HL2 site as of now, will probably add more later.
Gmail Notifier
Linkification - converts web addresses starting with "http://" into clickable links if they aren't already.
ScrapBook - haven't used it yet, but it may come in handy
Bandwidth Tester

Edit - Add Translate to the list

Marsz, marsz, Dąbrowski,

Didnt we just have one of these?

Mandatory:
Adblock (combined with 1mb host file, I never see any ads. Ever.)
Radial Context (I modify it to replace the scroll menu with an additional refresh button)
UndoCloseTab
miniT (to allow drag & dropping of tabs)

Others:
Compact menu (So my browser window can look like this)

Err, no, the host file blocks ad servers at the operating system level. Using that, I dont need to specifically block a server with Adblock; the ad never appears anyway.
