I used to be a big fan of NoScript, but after not installing it this time round, I realize what a pain in the ass it could be at times. I'll trade a little less control for a lot more functionality wink.gif

I have a theme called Redshift V3. I quite like this theme but it is not suitable for 3.5 FF so I am remaining on 3.0.11 until it is updated.

Billeo is definitely a must-have Add-on! It has all these useful features that help pay bills, shop online and manage passwords. It also reminds you when your bills are due. It is now compatible with Mozilla 3.5 - http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/12715
dead.cell
Well, I would suggest the ones I use, but most of you guys have listed them already many times over.

One that I didn't see though was Save Image in Folder. Really useful in helping you keep all your images sorted by easily downloading them to predefined folders. One of my favorites by far. smile.gif

I don't believe anyone's mentioned Fire.fm yet. Any users of Last.fm need to have this add-on for listening to their music!
