Firefox plugins - What do you use and why?
Title says it all really, I use;

Adblock Plus,
Adblock Plus element hiding helper,
Adblock plus filterset G,
Chatzilla,
Customise Google,
del.icio.us bookmarks,
FireFTP,
Flashgot,
NoScript.

All the adblock stuff makes sure I only see the part of the net I want to, chatzilla is my IRC client, customise google helps me get better results from google, del.icio.us is suck a better bookmark system than normal bookmarks, fireFTP and Flashgot are for downloads and Noscript is to get rid of any remaining spoon..

What do you use and why?

RE: Firefox plugins - What do you use and why?
AdBlock Plus
Self explanatory

Customize Google
Who doesn't want to?

Fasterfox
Have no idea if it actually does anything, but at least you think it's going faster

Firebug
Ultimately useful for debugging Javascript.  Also very useful for other things like viewing request/response headers etc

FlashBlock
Helps block annoying flash ads, and flash content

Flashgot
Integrates with Flashget

FoxyProxy
Handy for, well, proxies...

ImageBot
Quick uploading to Imageshack

RefControl
For faking referrers to lame sites that disallow hotlinking

Resizable Textarea
Makes posting easier by allowing you to make those text boxes bigger

StumbleUpon
Kinda okay if you're really bored

TabMix Plus
Much nicer control over tabbing.


There's a few other ones I can't remember, but ^they would be the main ones.
Here was an older thread By the way: http://endlessparadigm.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=235

RE: Firefox plugins - What do you use and why?
Adblock Plus
     To stop ads. Duh

BBCodxtra
     So I don't have to keep writing the IMG tags when pasting images or setting up the URL tags so I can make words into links

Download Embedded
     To get the mms:// addresses of video feeds

Downthemall
     To mass download from sites. I mass download /with and /wg/ threads on 4chin SUCK all the time

Image Zoom
     Sometime I have to zoom in on pics and I don't want to download the pic to use some other program just to zoom in

Paste and Go 2
     To Paste and Go web addresses. Yes I'm that lazy :p

PDF Download
     I hate adobe reader opening in Firefox (or any other browser for that matter)

Tab Mix Plus
    Much better control over tabs.

User Agent Switcher
     To bypass certain sites and forums where if you use the Googlebot user agent info, they won't force you to sign up to view their threads/info

RE: Firefox plugins - What do you use and why?
^ Interesting suggestions.  I tried a few of them.
bbCodeXtra...  Can't use shortcuts it seems.  Interesting, but I think I could type faster than right-clicking :P  Would be much better if they had shortcuts...

Image Zoom, unfortunately, doesn't zoom via resampling it seems.  It's an annoying issue with Firefox - it doesn't resample images when resizing... :(
