Firefox, how I love thee. I also love the extensibility of it. I test a lot of extensions, and some are more useful than others. Here is my list of extensions.

Extensions (enabled: 20, disabled: 3):

• BugMeNot 1.3
• Canadian English Dictionary 1.0.1
• ChromaTabs 1.0
• del.icio.us 1.2
• DictionarySearch 2.0
• Download Manager Tweak 0.7.1 [disabled]
• dragdropupload 1.5.22
• Enhanced History Manager 0.5.8.05.1 [disabled]
• Gmail Notifier 0.5.6.5
• Google Toolbar for Firefox 2.1.20060807W
• Html Validator 0.7.9.5
• IE Tab 1.2.0.20061106
• IE View 1.3.1
• InfoLister 0.9f
• Opanda IExif 2.25 [disabled]
• Performancing 1.3
• Resizeable Form Fields 0.2.1
• Restart Firefox 0.3
• Sourceforge Direct Download 0.5
• Tab Mix Plus 0.3.5
• TabScroller 0.6.3
• Talkback 2.0
• URL Fixer 1.2.7

Upon examining this list I think there are a few I can get rid of after the upgrade to Firefox 2. Restart Firefox and the Google Toolbar come to mind. And I don't use the dictionary search any more.

The most useful extensions add-ons that I actually use pretty much every day:

• IE Tab - view a webpage automatically or on demand rendered in IE in a tab in Friefox
• dragdropupload - when uploading files, you can drag it onto the form. Multiple files and multiple entry boxes are no problem.
• del.icio.us - a different kind of book mark manager
• Tab Mix Plus - my preferred session management tool
