gmail notifier (notifies if you have mail lmao!)
adblock plus & adblock filterset.g updater (no ads)
google safe browsing (blocks some sites i guess?)
noscript (blocks javascript etc)
bugmenot (allows you to login to sites without registration)
flashgot (for download manager)
stop-or-reload button (merges those buttons)
mediaplayerconnectivity (open embedded media stuff in winamp or whatever)
foxlingo (translator tool)

I'm using Download Manager Tweak (adds functionality to the DL Manager and lets you open it in a tab) and Tab Mix Plus, which adds piles of features to tabs.
How appropriate. You fight like a cow.

I use forcastfox so I can view the weather even though it doesn't matter much. I also use bugmenot, videodownloader(can DL movies from youtube and the like), and DownLoadThemAll so I can download all my porn pictures without having to individually clicking each thumbnail.

Handy, isn't it? You don't even have to open your curtains! Geek dream come true.

I don't run any extensions. Although seeing those, they look handy.

Got link?

check out most popular and top rated, and you'll probably find stuff you didn't know you needed.

well that's good to know! I wouldn't mind hearing why, though.

I use Adblock + Filter.G updater-thingy and CustomizeGoolge (great for filtering out Google ads and seeing popular/interesting search words).

How does FasterFox work?

Edit: Automatic filter.g updater is good, but it removes filters you have added manually when it updates. Occasionally, this annoys me.
There are no 'knowns'. There are thing we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know. So when we do the best we can and we pull all this information together, and we then say well that's basically what we see as the situation, that is really only the known knowns and the known unknowns. And each year, we discover a few more of those unknown unknowns.

I'm using Firebird until I'd become completely and utterly outdated(as opposed to pretty damn outdated).

I don't like it. It's like trying on new shoes - when they'll break apart, then I'll buy a new pair.
