My favorite Firefox extensions:

super drag&go -- Link to update for Firefox 2.0+

• Drag a selection for google search
• Drag a link to open in a new tab

NoSquint -- New extension to replace TextZoom by Jason Tackaberry.
// TextZoom -- Updated for Firefox 2.0+: fixed a bug for not zooming when open the first new tab. -- Known bugs: opening a new tab may also zoom current tab; not zooming for Gmail when using Adblock Plus.

• Set a fix default zoom size, useful for high-resolution screen

FireGestures
// All-in-One Gestures

• Mouse gestures: never need to click back and forward button!

• The "Downloads" window of Firefox is quite slow and obtrusive sometimes
• This extension shows the downloading status friendly

FlashBlock

• Opened too many tabs? Use this ext. to block the CPU-hogging Macromedia flash!

ForecastFox

Adblock Plus

• Block ads in an easy/lazy way

UnMHT

• viewing/saving MHT file in Firefox

CHM Reader

• Make Compiled HTML Files can be viewed with Firefox directly (useful under Linux)

IE Tab (for Windows)
