Tell me what's your favorite Firefox extensions and I will tell you who you are.
Everybody has his or her opinion about their best extensions and it is true that through them you get to know their surfing habit. In my case, my pick of the 3 most critical Firefox extensions below will tell you much about me: I like fast access to the net (Adblock Plus), I love to collect a huge number of links (using Del.icio.us, for the purpose of this blog or for future reference) and I am obsessed with easy access of my regular sites (Foxmarks).
Adblock Plus: I am still shocked that few people have heard about this extension. It makes life on the web so much easier, a truly win-win situation: no more ads and a faster access to the web as a result.
Del.icio.us Firefox extension: as stressed on my recent post on web-based computing, the ability to store a large number of URL's is made easier with tools like Del.icio.us.
Foxmarks: Even though I post a lot of links to the social network above, I still like to keep on my Firefox toolbar sites which I need to access quickly...and boy, do I love fiddling with the toolbar! Consequently, I make sure that whatever version of browser I use (Home PC, laptop and USB flash drive), my local bookmarks (100% in the toolbar) remain the same and in sync.
All 3 above are a must install whenever I have a fresh copy of Firefox. Together they constitute my 'lite' version of the browser, i.e. the minimum required for me to enjoy surfing the web!

Extensions are great! This is what makes firefox better than the other browsers out there. You can install and uninstall whichever extension you want or need.
Here's my three favs:
1. restart firefox --> I think firefox should have this included in the next update.
2. Download statusbar --> it's a great addon that lets you see your downloads either lined horizontally or stacked on top of each other. A little bit buggy, but it's a great one.
3. IE Tab --> great addon to be able to switch engines for sites that still stuck on microsoft's iron grips.
