Firefox Extensions

Speaking of Firefox, I’d like to invite some comments. What extensions for Firefox do you consider must-haves, and why?

Right now my Firefox install has only 3 extensions.



GoogleBar
, because I got used to using a browser toolbar to access all of Google’s searches, so it’s become automatic for me to do my searching from there, long before I started using Firefox.

ImageZoom, just because, sometimes it’s nice to get a larger image on a small laptop screen.

And I have a spell checker installed too, but I couldn’t find it on the list of available extensions. Obviously, I need to learn to use that one once it’s installed.. 🙂

(Update: I found the extension here, even though I couldn’t find it on the “official list”)

So what do you have in your Firefox?
