Firefox Extensions

Since it seems most of us in the group are in IT I assume that also means most of have long abandoned MSIE for Firefox. So I thought it'd be cool to find out what extensions we all are using. Here's a list on mine:

-Image Zoom (because my monitor doesn't do 2048x1536)
-Adblock (I don't to shoot the the duck and win a PSP)
-Linkification (learn to use html tags people)
-googlebar (because actually going to google is too much work)
-IE View (for primitive websites)
-PDF Download (why can't Adobe and Mozilla get along?)
-Search IMDB (Who the hell is Nick Cannon?)
- IE Tab (again, for primitive websites)
-MR Tech Local Install (a slew a features the should've been built in)
-gTranslate (What does "Yo tengo un feo gato en mi pantalones!" mean)

Edit: I thought the extensions needed a brief description

I'm not using that many. Just the following:

Sage RSS reader
Adblock w/FilterSet.G (quick and easy way to block all ads!)
Forecast Fox
Foxy Tunes

Portable Firefox here just so I can use it at work.

Not sure which extensions I have installed at home.

ask chicken n waffles RE: extensions... he's all about ff.

i use safari ftw.

and sometimes ff when i boot into xp on the same box. not enough to warrant extensions.

Faster Fox (changes config settings to speed browser way up)
Tab Mix Plus (save sessions of tabs, makes it easy to recover from crashes)
Adblock (block images, with wildcards http://*.aol.com/*)
NoScript (gives whitelist/blacklist ability to javascript, just like standard cookie behavior)
Colorful Tabs (pretty colors...)
Image Zoom (those can't be real...)
Google toolbar (spellcheck for everything!)
Firefox Showcase (shows you thumbnail view of all your tabs)

ok here's my list...

talkback
flashgot
image zoom
foxytunes
ie view
ie tab
dictionary search
fasterfox
customize google
disable targets for downloads
forecastfox
gmail notifier
gdirections
yahoo mail notifer
bookmarks synchronizer
stock charts
pdf download
mozilla calendar

and i'm always hunting for more useful ones.

so far i get the most benefit from yahoo mail notifier, foxytunes, image zoom (suprisingly useful), ie view/tab, and forecastfox.
