These are the ones that I really can't live without:
Adblock Plus Auto Copy AutoAuth AutoFormer Close Tab By Double Click Download Statusbar ErrorZilla Mod Greasemonkey OptimizeGoogle Paste and Go 2 Popup ALT Attribute Resizable Textarea StumbleUpon Tab History
I have these installed too but I could get by without them for normal browsing (although a lot of them are essential for web development):
Adblock Plus: Element Hiding Helper Annoyance Remover Behind The *Asterisks* Closy Coral IE Tab dragdropupload Favicon Picker 3 Firebug HTML Validator Live HTTP headers No-Referer Organize Status Bar Page Speed PatchForLibrary RDown Rapidshare Downloader Screengrab Split Browser User Agent Switcher Web Developer Toolbar

essential for normal people: Adblock Plus Download Statusbar
essential for me: Vimperator (adds vim-like keyboard navigation for pretty much everything) FirefoxNotify (sends browser alert messages through dbus notifications on linux. gives it a more integrated feel)
i have Video Download Helper installed also but i could live without it.
i keep things pretty light..

Damn I've never used one addon, but I guess I've never really felt the need. The only time I get popups is when I look at free porn.

i'm looking at noscript now. so basically it can prevent script running from sites you don't want it to run from? does that in turn prevent viruses and and pop ups?
i'm not exactly the most tech saavy guy, but i'm trying to learn more and more about computers.

Switch to a modern internet browser like Opera or Chrome. Firefox really has lost its edge

Agreed, until Opera or Chrome have proper addon support they'll never replace Firefox for me.

Yea it's more mature, but the design of it is very inefficient compared to more modern styled browsers. They are working on it though, I think by version 4 or something they plan to have updated the whole underlying design

The addons I need are available for Chrome...it's a huge improvement to have an exif viewer in Chrome.
