Adblock Plus - keels them ads.
Grease monkey - nice to run custom scripts.
Cool previews - hover and preview link of you don't want to click and open.
Cool iris - news previewer for images, slide show through them.
Tree style tab - have tabs on left instead of top.
FireBug - nice to see a site's internals if needed for like debugging.

Read an interesting article recently on Firefox/IE & maybe someone with the know-how can enlighten readers on appropiate add ons - The article was on security and how easy hackers were able to reverse tunnel through the browsers and take ownership of the computers without the owners knowledge.
However the article failed to mention whether the breach was because of insufficient apporiate add-ons or security updates or if the internet security S/W installed was not doing its job properly. Has anyone also come across such an article & suggestions? Am not trying to deviate from Necuno's point though!

NoScript - Blocks JavaScript, XXS etc. Best web security add-on ever. Even Chrome [-]doesn't[/-] can't have this.

Personas, does this count?

 

[UnUnOctium]

AdBlock
DownThemAll!
FireFTP
Hide GUI Bars
MailCatch: Temporary Emails

 

[upup]

Flagfox- show where is the server

IE Tab Plus (lets you open a page in IE, without actually opening the internet explorer browser. It browses within firefox.)
Reload Every (can reload a page every x number of seconds.)
Flashgot (extract download links for webpages, including youporn, redtube, youtube etc...)
Exif Viewer (view image properties for images on websites)
Yes Popups (very stringent popup blocker, I use it with adblock plus)
Siphon (creates a profile and keeps a list of all plugins installed. So if you goto a new pc or reinstall, you dont need to remember all your addons.)
Multirowbookmarks (so you can have multiple rows of quick access to bookmarks.)

Where are you pulling that info from, your [-]ass[/-] thumb? Click on the Wrench - > Select Options - > Select Under the Hood - > (Under Privacy) Select Content Settings - > (Under Features) Select JavaScript... The rest should make sense.

Ones that haven't been mentioned that are quite handy:

Fire Gestures - quicker than clicking
Speed Dial - bookmark homepage
IE View - some pages (Sharepoint) just won't work in MF.
Skipscreen - for most filesharing sites.

From the author of NoScript himself. Chrome lacks the required API's to build a NoScript equivalent extension with the same security that you get in FireFox.

Disabling JavaScript <> NoScript.

Maybe you should stop pulling info from, your [-]ass[/-] thumb?

Currently I can't even read the article itself, due to SEACOM and all. But I'll say that I'm wrong and I'll be having my slice of humble pie for it. The notification to enable which sites you want javascript to run on still shows up the same way the notifications for pop-ups, hopefully you know what I'm talking about.

digg stuff - still searching for the previous addon i used to have with a drop down menu of latest articles.

-Mouse gestures- difficult to explain but you "draw lines" instead of clicking to do certain tasks in the browser. LOVE it
-Autopager- automatically loads the following page(you can set how many pages you want it to load)

Most of the other ones I use have been mentioned already.
