What are the best extensions?

Here's a quick overview of my extensions:

Adblock Plus - Removes all ads from all sites, flash, banners, etc. Maybe the best extension ever, haven't seen ads in years.
Adblock Plus Element Hiding Helper - Removes the text only ads as well.
Customize Google - Removes ads from Google & Gmail, adds links to other engines, Google Suggest, let's you customize everything about Google/Gmail.
DictionarySearch - Right-click any word for a dictionary search if you're stuck or wondering about the exact definition of a word.

FireGestures - Navigating sites has never been easier with Mouse Gestures, I use these the most: Rightclick/drag left = Go back 1 site, right = forward 1 site. Rightclick/drag down = close tab, rightclick/up = undo close tab.. after using this, you'd wish for MouseGestures in every program.
FlagFox - Dispays the flag of the location of the site you're currently browing, clicking it will tell you everything about the site you're on and who owns it.
ForecastFox - Weather predictions the next few days discreetly in your browser.
FoxyTunes - Control Winamp, WMP, MediaMonkey, Itunes, or whatever, directly from your browser, without having to minimize Firefox.

IE Tab - Some wack site doesn't display properly in Firefox ? Hit the IE button, and the site opens up inside Firefox in IE, Internet Explorer inside Firefox!
ImageZoom - There's small pictures all over the net, or maybe want to zoom in on that Jessica Alba pic ? Right-click & zoom in as much as you want.
Linkification - Tired of copying/pasting all them rapidshare or sendspace links into the address-bar ? This turns text-links into clickable links.
Nightly Builder Tools - Some extension doesn't work ? This will force it to work, plus a shitload of other features.

Paste and Go 2 - Instead of copying/pasting a link, then hitting go or Enter in the address-bar, you can just right-click & Paste and Go!
PDF Download - Fuck slow ass Adobe Acrobat Reader, install lightning quick Foxit Reader and this, and PDF files will open in 1-2 seconds instead of 10-30.
QuickNote - A notepad inside Firefox for all them links, passwords, phone numbers, e-mails etc. you gotta remember. One click access.
Stop Autoplay - Disable all autoplay of embedded music & videos. Handy on Dubcc I tell ya.

Tab Mix Plus - Let's you customize everything about how tabs work/open/close, and let's you add another Close tab button like it was in Firefox 1, at the far right.
Toolbar Buttons - Makes it possible to add shortcut buttons for anything on the toolbars, Google, Gmail, Extensions, Links, Ebay, Myspace, etc. etc.
Yet Another Smooth Scrolling - Let's you set the sensitivity and configure everything about how the mouse & keyboard scrolls up and down on pages.

All these work with Firefox 3, though some of them had to be forced by using Nightly Builder Tools.  8)


Props!
Some I could install though cause they are only compatible with older versions. I didn't even find that Nightly Builder Tools.

My bad, it changed name, or I'm trippin:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6543 or
http://www.oxymoronical.com/web/firefox/nightly

There should be an option to install older extensions, and then you can later make NTT force it to work with FF3.

Firefox 3 is sick.
it's way faster than Firefox 2 and the interface is better.

i like firefox mostly because it's so customizable but opera is the best browser standalone which in case makes it the best for normal internet users who could give a fuck less about half the add-ons for firefox

What I'm missing in Firefox is the startup page with all my shortcuts.

What do you mean ?

Something like this:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7748 or maybe https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5721 ??

Dunno, those addons are unavailable atm - but this is what I'm talking about:

...I got this as my startpage with Opera.
