Thanks for the list. I've got a few others to add:

* Back to Top
  Context menu options to go back to top/down to bottom of page. Context
  menu versions of Home and End buttons, really.

* CTC
  Adds close tab to context menu.

* FormFox
  Pops up form action when submit button is about to be clicked. (Well,
  doesn't seem to work as well as it should, so I've stopped using it.)

* Submit to Tab
  Bug# 17754. Direct submission of form to new tab.

* Uppity
  Navigate up one or more levels.  So if you're at
  http://www.example.com/foo/bar/baz.html but there's no link to
  an upper level, let alone the root, you can quickly go to it.

As hateful as it is, at least Firefox allows extensions (and they are "easy"
enough to write) to make things less hateful.
