There are about 123 Firefox extensions and growing plus the themes, greasemonkey scripts, tweaks, mods ect. This is a list of tested Addons that I use now, or in the past that I found to be the most productive and usefull. I will continue to update this list with Firefox addons that I forgot about at the time of this post or have not tested yet! The list below is definitely some of the very best!
Gmail Manager - Allows you to manage multiple Gmail accounts and receive new mail notifications. Displays your account details including unread messages, saved drafts, spam messages, labels with new mail, space used, and new mail snippets.
TwitterFox - notifies you of your friends’ tweets of Twitter.
ChatZilla - is a clean and easy to use Internet relay chat (IRC) client.
Adsense Notifier - Displays your Adsense earnings on the statusbar.
Bookmark with Del.icio.us - Integrate del.icio.us right into Firefox. Easily access your bookmarks and post new bookmarks. Post a bookmark without leaving the page you are on.
StumbleUpon - is an intelligent browsing tool for sharing and discovering great websites.
FoxyTunes - Listen to music while surfing the Web, and control your favorite media player without ever leaving the browser.
Stealther - surf the web without leaving a trace in your local computer by *temporarily disabling history (and address bar), cookies, formFill, disk cache and sending of ReferrerHeader. Verify details of what exactly it can work for you.
NoScript - allows JavaScript, Java (and other plugins) only for trusted domains of your choice. This whitelist based pre-emptive blocking approach prevents exploitation of security vulnerabilities with no loss of functionality
LastPass - is an online password manager and form filler that makes your web browsing easier and more secure.
Greasemonkey - Let's get this out of the way right up front: Greasemonkey is not for the faint of heart. It basically allows you to add JavaScript to any Web page, but writing these scripts requires a good knowledge of scripting. The good news is that there are many generous souls out there who share the scripts they create on UserScripts.org.
When first installed, Greasemonkey does nothing. It just enables the scripting. You'll have to write, or install, scripts before you see any changes on your pages.
So what do these scripts do? Almost anything you can do with JavaScript. For example, I use both Google's Gmail and Reader services. I found a script that causes Reader to appear on the same page as my Gmail. That's a pretty big change. (It's easy to disable a script, and even easier to universally disable Greasemonkey, in case you need to undo a change.)
ColorfulTabs - Having too many tabs open can lead to a lot of confusion, but this extension will assign your tabs different colors so you can tell them apart easier.Adblock Plus - The popular, yet controversial extension has been updated to work with the latest version of the browser, and it’s still doing what it does best: blocking ads.
DownThemAll - A popular extension that assists you in downloading multiple files from a page with just a few clicks.
Firebug - A mainstay of the developer community, Firebug strips down Web pages quickly and lets you work on JAVA, HTML, CSS and more, directly inside the browser.
Flagfox - See a flag in the status bar that tells you what country the server is in for the website you are on. You can then look up more detailed information on the server, giving you some extra security in case the site is a fake.
IETab - Sometimes you just have to look at some things in Internet Explorer due to coding issues. Well, using a tab inside of Firefox is a far sight better than having to open up IE itself.
Video DownloadHelper - The easy way to download Web videos from hundreds of YouTube-like sites, audio and picture galleries.
ColorZilla - An extremely handy tool for Web developers to let them see the RGB and Hex values of any color on a Web page
FireFTP - is a free, secure, cross-platform FTP client for Mozilla Firefox which provides easy and intuitive access to FTP servers.
Copy Plain Text - Copies text without formatting.
Google Images Re-Linker - This will let you click the thumbnail images on images.google.com, skip the referred framed page, and jump straight to the full-size image.
Sxipper - Forget your passwords! Sxipper accurately fills in forms, manages passwords and your OpenIDs.
CoolIris - Full-Screen, 3D -- Cooliris (formerly PicLens) transforms your browser into a visually stunning, lightening fast way to search, discover, view and share online photos, videos and more. Our unique "3D Wall" lets you effortlessly zoom your way around thousands items on a single, ever-expansive wall. It's the fastest way to search and enjoy Google Images, YouTube, Flickr, Hulu, and hundreds of other sites. See http://www.cooliris.com/product for a list of all features and supported sites.
FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild your extensions individually into installable .xpi files. Now you can easily synchronize your office and home browsers.
ScribeFire is a full-featured blog editor that integrates with your browser and lets you easily post to your blog.
ReminderFox displays and manages lists of date-based reminders and ToDo's. ReminderFox does not seek to be a full-fledged calendar. In fact, the target audience is anybody that simply wants to remember important dates (birthdays, anniversaries, bills, etc) without having to run a whole calendar application. ReminderFox makes sure you remember all of your important dates via easy-to-use lists, alerts, and alarm notifications.
Nightly Tester Tools - This Extension fixes compatibility issues if a firefox extension doesn't work with your current firefox build!
Picnik - This extension adds a menu option when you right click on images to make it easy to pull the image into Picnik for editing.
Tree Style Tabs - Show tabs like a tree.
Stylish is a Firefox, Thunderbird, Flock, SeaMonkey, Mozilla Suite, and Songbird extension that allows easy management of user styles. User styles empower your browsing experience by letting you fix ugly sites, customize the look of your browser or mail client, or just have fun. With an online repository at userstyles.org, you don't even need to know how to write styles yourself; just a couple clicks and the chosen style is applied. Stylish is to CSS what Greasemonkey is to JavaScript, and unlike other methods of using user styles, most styles take effect immediately.
