Bug Me Not
…for when I want to read news articles without having an account. Or porn.

Download Them All
…useful for content heavy sites or virtual directory listings when you have a bunch to download.

IE View
…when I code I can check how it looks in IE after launhing it in FF….saves me the trouble of bouncing back to Dreamweaver and launching a second browser…also, if a webpage looks funky, I can view it in IE to see it “properly”. *snort*

Image Zoom
…I think everyone has this, but when running at high resolutions (I typically am using 1600 x 1200 or 1920 x 1080 on each monitor) this allows me to zoom in on an image inline without reloading the page or opening it in a new window or downloading it.

Fire FTP
…I commonly have to push or pull media from clients FTP sites…and this does it within the browser.

I like Screen Grab, although all my Windows machines run OneNote, which includes a pretty useful screen grab utility (believe it or not!) Cool list, Dan!

Download Statusbar - gets rid of the downloads window and put it in a line in the bottom of all windows. FfChrome - lets you trim the right click context menu to just items you want Tabs Open Relative - Opens Tabs right next to the one you're in instead of at the end of all tabs. TinyURL Creator - automates creating http://tiny.url concatanated link addresses. and I like the WebDeveloper add-on for analyzing pagesource. Bonus points to ReadItLater which I actually use in conjunction with Xmarks even though the latter could do what the former does, it's just part of my workflow to have that little check mark in the awesome-bar Well, for a simple twitter client – TwitterFox

If you do a lot of graphics whatnot – ColorZilla

Here are a few that I currently use: <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1146" rel="nofollow">Screen Grab</a> - Lets you take screen shots of the whole screen or lets you select a certain portion of the screen. <a href="http://www.twitbin.com/" rel="nofollow">Twitbin</a> - If you don't use a desktop application for Twitter, this is a nice addon that lets you tweet while you browse. <a href="http://www.sitepoint.com/dustmeselectors/" rel="nofollow">Dustme Selectors </a> - More of a developer plugin. Let's you scan a site for unused CSS selectors. Great for managing very large style sheets.
