List your favorite add ons for firefox 3, and if the name isnt obvious, then give a little description so we can see if we like it. Here are mine:

Firefox Showcase - Shows thumbnails for tabs in a different window, makes it easier to locate certain things
Forecastfox - shows weather in the lower right
GooglePreview - Shows a preview of websites in google and yahoo search in as a thumbnail next to the link
Pic Lens - a cool way to go through images and videos when you search them, and it's a bit faster than clicking through pages on google
Speed Dial - it's like that thing on opera, keeps all your favorite websites organised, and it makes it easier to access them, dialing numbers and such
Undo Closed Tabs Button - I often close tabs by accident, or want to go back to one i closed...now i can do so
URL Fixer - fixes your urls when you accidentally type .con/.cmo...stuff like that
Web Developer - Toolbar for webdesigners
WOT(Web of Trust) - shows me how safe certain websites are as i view them, either at the top of the browser, or next to it in a search
Aero Fox and Aquatint Themes - these are the only themes that i like that acutally work on Firefox 3.

These are just the ones that I have that I actually use and are my favorites

He was kidding, I'm sure. Plus, lots of guys have female avatars, so I'm sure the adverse would apply to the fairer sex, too.

And if any Firefox plugin needs mentioned... it's AdBlock Plus. But, since it's your list, I can't justly criticise it.

i was joking about the woman part, and a tip to you, never take me seriously

and adblock is probably one of the most epic addons, it should be number 1 if not number 0.5

Wow am I behind, I'm still using 2.
As for themes, I really like redshift, but if that's not going to be out for a while, I guess I'll try the ones listed... Who would bring down an awesome theme site? A curse on any involved!

I like Sage-Too. I keep it on the left of my browser with news/games/tech/anime feeds, and check it from time to time. The simplistic style sheet is pretty appealing.

NoScript and AdblockPlus I've had for as long as I can remember. They turn the already secure Firefox into an impenetrable wall of defense (mostly NoScript, ABP just gets rid of visual annoyances).
