never forget about firefox proxies man!!!

i've found Session Manager to be very helpful... It even lets you save sessions and resume previous sessions even if FF hadn't crashed and exit...

[Lusher]

Besides the usual stuff (adblock plus, noscript) etc etc.. Here's one which i think is important for security/privacy

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4429

"A login extension similar to Opera's Wand login.

It uses the built-in password manager, but deactivates the prefilling of login forms.

Instead, you are now able to login with one click or a keyboard shortcut (ALT+N - changeable via settings).

Just add the Secure Login toolbar button to your toolbar, or use the provided statusbar icon.

If you hover over one of the icons, a tooltip is shown, displaying the login url and the number of available logins (users).

For more than one user or login forms on the current page a selection prompt is displayed on login.

You have the option to play sound notifications (*.wav) for found login data on the current page or when logging in.

All the options can be changed using the Secure Login settings page. The settings page can be opened via the Secure Login tools menu, the Secure Login statusbar icon context menu or via the list of installed extensions.

Secure Login provides you with a number of Security enhancements and helps protecting you from phishing:

Disabling the prefilling of login forms prevents malicious JavaScript code to automatically steal your login data.

This is due to the fact that no login data is inserted in form fields before the user clicks on the login button or logs in using the keyboard shortcut.

To make sure you login to the right website, the second level domain of the login url is compared to the second level domain of the current page.

If they do not match a dialog prompt is displayed before login.

Secure Login provides you with an optional setting to protect you from all JavaScript code during login.

This can prevent cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks without having to deactivate JavaScript completely.

If you enable this option, your login data will never be inserted in any form fields nor will the login form be submitted.

Instead your credentials will be sent to the login page using internal Firefox methods.

Not all login forms will work this way, e.g. not those using JavaScript routines. Therefore, you can add such websites to an exception list."

Given the recent concern over firefox's password manager, this little extension bypasses some of the problems

The ultimate Vista Black Firefox 2.0 package with extensions

http://johnthejohnman.deviantart.com/art/F...-Theme-52278577

This deviantart user packaged all the extensions and explanations on one page.

Enjoy!

[inactive]

well so far all i pretty much use is...

-NoScript (main flaw with this is it requires configuring but it's quick to configure on a per site basis. but for average joe this probably aint for them since it's probably a little to technical... although this would offer extra protection from malicious activity)

-AD Block Plus (this is pretty much a must for people who dont like popups/ads etc)

-TabScroller (to sum it up it can be configured to hold down right mouse button and the scroll with mouse to switch tabs :), takes a while to get used to be saves time if you tend to have many tabs open.)

Don't mean to be a stickler but doesn't this setting handle this without the need for force quit?

I'm in the process of slimming my addon usage down in transition to Firefox 3b2 and spreading it across a couple of profiles, like one for web development and the other for general surfing.

My List of extensions, regardless of Operating System.

[BilliShere]

Adblock plus, better gmail 2, customizgoogle, extended statusbar, fasterfox, firefox showcase, gmail notifier, google toolbar for firefox, google preview, greasemonkey, ietab, image zoom, orbit downloader firefox integration, stealther, tab scope..
