I have way too many.. :P
Scrollbar Anywhere, Sage and Tab Mix are some of the most useful extensions to me. Also, if you're a web developer, get the Web Developer toolbar.
Other nifty extensions I have installed include would be BugMeNot, FoxyTunes and Download Statusbar.

Scrollbar Anywhere - scroll by holding the right mousebutton and dragging (addictive)
Sage - RSS feed reader
Tab Mix - adds a lot of new tab features
Web Developer - adds web developer specific functions, like being able to edit a site's CSS live
BugMeNot - get around registering at sites (one person registers at a site and allows all other BugMeNot users to use that account)
FoxyTunes - play music from within Firefox
Download Statusbar - Puts all downloads inside a bar at the bottom, instead of a new window

I like the Gmail notifier, it lets you know when you recieve mail and you just click the picture and it'll take you to your inbox. Also I have the BBCode extension, very handy for IF, auto-copy, some others, dunno. You can look around the extensions page yourself for an idea of what is available.

there's hundreds of extensions. And I know a good site to get them. but the site's a forum. So I'd probley be advertsing if I gave the link. (sorry if against rules) but go to google.com and type in 'the extension mirror' click the 1st or second link. that's the site. I ned to get some extensions installed.

Download manager tweak (download statusbar mentioned by Gornakle)

ieview (allows you to right click on a link and select to open it in IE)

session saver - if firefox breaks down, most likely, you can reopen it with all the tabs you had opened. If you have to leave quick and can't note down the sites you wanted to keep viewing, this is helpful since you can close firefox and open it later with the same tabs and sites.

Translate - you can select any given text and right click on it and choose to translate it from its language to english. The translation is never perfect of course, but I've found you can pretty much understand what they're on about.

Most of the other ones I use have been mentioned.

Quantum-locked when observed.

Chatzilla - Firefox IRC client
ColorZilla - Zoom in, use an "eyedropper" feature to get colours, then copy its hex or RGB information to the clipboard--very useful for skinning.
FireFTP - Firefox FTP client
Wikpedia Toolbar - Tool for editing Wikipedia (works with most other Wikimedia Wikis too)
Tabbrowser Prefrences - Organises all those elusive tabbed browsing options into a single menu.

I probably have more but can't remember. Already mentioned here, but Web Developer, Adblock, and IEView are also stellar.

Remove anything is a good extenison. Some parts that are ugly on a website you can just remove. :lol:
