It's a shame that everyone seems to focus on the newest and shiniest extensions, so I've decided to take it upon myself to promote some of the lesser known extensions that I believe really make Firefox a joy to use, rather than just something to show off to non-Firefox users who haven't seen the light yet.
- Download Statusbar – view and manage downloads from a tidy statusbar, so that downloads don't get in the way of browsing
- Colorful Tabs – May sound really boring, but it makes it a hell of a lot easier to distinguish between tabs
- Image Zoom – This is one of my personal favs as it allows me to zoom in on images on a page without having to download them
- PDF Download – For all those annoying sites that seem to grow and grow where they are worried about you stealing their content. This extension allows PDFs to be opened in a tab for easier management
- Tab Mix Plus – Every tweak and option under the sun you could ever want to manage tabs
- WebmailCompose – Fantastic extension that opens your chosen webmail compose window if any email addresses are clicked on
- Optimoz Tweaks – If you a heavy user of sidebars this great extension makes it easier to open and close them
- Foxmarks Bookmarks Synchronizer – The only bookmarks sync tool I've found that works seamlessly between PCs
- Autohide – This one isn't promoted heavily, but if you like browsing full-screen it gives some useful control over what elements Firefox displays
- MediaPlayerConnectivity- automatically launches all media elements in their correct players, allowing full-screen playback of embedded videos.
I'm sure there are many others that people can't live without, but these are always the first ones I install on a new PC.
