Well, I believe there are hundreds available. So, if you can state some particular interests, that could be helpful. I'll mention two: ColorfulTabs and Tab Mix Plus

EPUBReader, NetVideoHunter

NoScript is a must have for security imho. I've got 10 extensions, see pic. (The Bookmark backup is not from Firefox)

There are nearly 10k available, so hard to choose from. It's all so personal.

Here's a link to the most popular ones. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/?sort=users

Then I would recommend MozBackup. http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/ That is a standalone application.

I have five addons: Adblock Plus, FireGestures (I love mouse gestures), Ghostery (prevents web bugs from tracking where you go), Priv3 (prevents social network tracking), and Web of Trust (identifies untrustworthy websites).

Do Not Track Me https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/donottrackplus/
(I also put AdBlock Plus and Noscript on before I do any surfing).

For those with "senior eyes" and a 7" netbook, I would not surf without my NoSquint addon. I can set each site so I can see it and it remembers the setting for that site for 6 months after a visit.

Yes ! That's good advice

Extensions you might find handy:

FlashBlock Automatically blocks flash ads and stops FireFox plugin-container.exe from getting overloaded

Flashblock is an extension for the Mozilla, Firefox, and Netscape browsers that takes a pessimistic approach to dealing with Macromedia Flash content on a webpage and blocks ALL Flash content from loading. It then leaves placeholders on the webpage that allow you to click to download and then view the Flash content.

FlashGot Will automatically send the download to DownThemAll if you want

Download all the links, movies and audio clips of a page at the maximum speed with a single click, using the most popular, lightweight and reliable external download managers.
Click to expand...

DownThemAll IMHO, simply the best

The first and only download manager/accelerator built inside Firefox!
