Please list your Top 5 extentions to install once you have Firefox running,with a brief description for each

Mine Are (In no certain Order)

Tab Mix Plus - Killer tab options with session restoration.
Ad Block - Handy for blocking Advertisements.
Adblock Filterset.G Updater - An enhancement for Ad Block with predefined, auto-updating lists. A good time saver for not having to manualy block commonly used ads. Includes a whitelist for allowable sites.
FireFTP - Handy FTP with some nice features, like File Diff.
Xinha Here! - Excellent WYSIWYG HTML editor for any editable region or form on the page you are viewing. A must have for news editors, bloggers.
BBCode - A simpler version of Xinha Here! from a different developer. Adds BBCode/HTML/XHTML formating to the context menu for forums.

Hi
I don't use Firefox much, but for one extension I have it:

SwitchProxy Tool - it gives you ability to have a list of proxyes (made by you) and change them with a press of a button It is very simple, clean and STABLE!

I also tested some other, but they were not so stable, or had some problems ...
