I've got about 20 addons at the moment, so I won't run through them all,
but a couple top ones of mine that people may not have.
* Scribefire - a blogging client for firefox. It integrates into your
tool bar and lets you quickly and easily connect to various blog APIs.
* Sqlite Manager - the best graphical tool for looking at sqlite
databases turns out to be a firefox plugin. It actually doesn't use
anything in firefox except the xul runtime, but is really handy.
* PDF Download - because I hate when firefox wants to view the pdf
inline. This just presents a popup when you get a pdf that will let you
"Download", "Open in Native App", "View inline". A minor change, but
one that makes life a little better.
* Firebug - because no one else has pointed it out yet. If you do any
webdevelopment at any level, install this. It's so handy in figuring
out CSS, and making live changes to figure out if you like them or not.

There is no silver bullet. Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
