CaoPaux was asking about Firefox 3.5 in another thread this morning. It made me think of another question.
I've tried a number of the Firefox add-ons. Some I've found helpful; some I've found irritating and disabled them.
Some I use include:
CookieCuller - I usually block all cookies except for a few acceptable sites. Sometimes it's easier however to just turn on "accept cookies". CookieCuller is good to show what cookies are on your computer, and to easily remove them.
Fireshot - To take screenshots of webpages, or parts of a webpage. I don't use this one a lot, but it's nice when I do need it.
NoScript - I think everyone should have this one. It lets me decide site-by-site whether to allow scripts to run or not.
MultiRowBookmarks Toolbar - One of my favorites. It just makes going back-and-forth to the various website I visit a little easier. I currently have 24 websites on the toolbars; these are most of the sites I visit daily or at least once a week. You can put quite a few on the standard toolbar (and not have to page over) if you change the name to something shorter, but this makes it a little nicer.

So, is there any add-ons you use and have found to be useful and helpful? I know there's hundreds offered. I sometimes look at what's available but I haven't make a research project out of it. There might be a great one out there that I and others have overlooked.
