Default My must-have Firefox extensions list

I've noticed that although most of you are using Firefox, you guys still don't have all the "must-have" extensions.
Let me help. I'll list some of my favorite extensions here. Feel free to add to the list.

1] Adblock Plus - The mother of all adblockers. Don't get onto the web without it.
Link : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1865/

2] Filterset.G Updater - Updates Adblock Plus' blacklist. It has a huge directory of blocked ads. I've never seen an ad in the last 3 years. And it's mostly because of this nice extension.
Link : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1136/

3] Flashblock - The Flash adblocker. This is a cool way to block all flash animations. If you want to see any animation, just click on the "play" button. It will load as before. Say bye-bye to annoying Flash ads.
Link : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1136/

Using these 3 extensions, you'll never see an ad in your life. Well, it might miss maybe 1 or 2. Just right-click on those ads -> adblock image. If its loading the images from a folder called "banner" or something, feel free to block the whole folder using wildcards.
example : if the image is something like www.xyz.com/banners/banner1.gif
right click on it -> adblock image -> in the address field, make it something like www.xyz.com/banners/*.*

Keep in mind that this small list does not contain most of the more "useful" extensions. It's upto you to use whatever you guys want.

All those extensions also work with Bon Echo, which is basically Firefox 2.0
