NoScript for me - it basically stops anything you haven't approved running on webpages. At first you have to approve things (like 'approve singletrackworld.com'), but it then remembers that you approved stw and so it runs as normal.
The point is... it stops any malicious cr@p running that might bog your PC down. I've not had a single virus/ trojan/ malware since starting using it, compared to quite a few beforehand.

I found a great one that takes a table on an html page and treats it like a spreadsheet. Allows you to select single columns or rows or even individual cells. Very useful. I forget what it's called though so that's not much use to you.

personas is fun if you want to change the appearance.

Lazarus is good if you tend to write a lot on forums. It saves the content of text boxes as you type, so if you accidentally come off the page, if your connection is dropped or if you get stung by a 'server busy' page, then you can recover what youve already typed. You can turn it on/off as desired, so it's security concsious.

SmoothWheel, Multiple Tab Handler and NoScript are all great add-ons. PDF Download is available to turn any web page into a PDF document.

Second noscript. Also use DownThemAll which allows you to rip all pictures etc. with one click.

2nd vote for DownThemAll

Use Flashdance if you're fed up with the Flash adverts on this forum...

If you are running it on a netbook or small laptop then little fox squeezes up all the menus at the top.
