Kank Must Haves
These are the ones I can't browse without. As you can tell, the collection is meant for browsing, especially over slow connections, rather than social networking, etc.

Video DownloadHelper
The easy way to download and convert Web videos from hundreds of YouTube-like sites.
Rated 4.3 out of 5mig
Add-on note
Though this seems to be geared partly towards "private" sites, it works great at most, but not all, video sites. Bear in mind that content delivery sites like YouTube are constantly inventing new ways to prevent users from copying videos to their machines, but this add-on tends to do what it can to keep up with this "arms race". I require videos to be available offline as I rarely have access to broadband. I am not a pirate, just someone who has to live with dial-up.

LastPass Password Manager
LastPass, an award-winning password manager, saves your passwords and gives you secure access from every computer and mobile device.
Rated 3.7 out of 5LastPass
Add-on note
Must Have!! One of the first client-encrypted password managers is still the best. Not only does it provide top-notch password protection, but it automatically logs you into the sites you visit if you like.

NoScript Security Suite
The best security you can get in a web browser! Allow potentially malicious web content to run only from sites you trust. Protect yourself against XSS other web security exploits.

Add-on note
Must Have!! Even if you don't use the per-host blocking feature, NoScript still adds plenty of cutting-edge security features to Firefox that ought to be included in the browser. Rather than wait for FF to include such features, the NoScript author adds such things on a continual basis. This is probably the best add-on ever, so please donate to the project!!

Show tabs like a tree.

Add-on note
I've never found a "perfect" tab manager, but this add-on comes closest. I've always preferred Opera's tab management system over Firefox's, but Tree Style Tab does make things a whole lot better for people that prefer tabs on the side of the window. This probably includes anyone with more than a dozen tabs open at any one time.
