Firefox Addons

Seen a lot of talk lately on-line about "Needed" or "unknown" firefox add-ons. So i thought I'd share me list of them that i personally use. I wouldn't call any of them required add-ons though. I can and do get by without them on occasion (i.e. after i format and cant remember what something was called)
Adblock Plus
British English Dictionary
Chatzilla
DownThemAll!
Firebug
FireShot
Fission
Google Browser Sync
Google Toolbar for Firefox
Hyperwords
IE Tab
PicLens
Snap Links
Tab Scope
Web Developer
As you can clearly see i use a few, the only problem lately with addons and any browser is. Igoogle, i find myself reading a lot from my numerous tabs in igoogle that some days i dont even have to leave google itself for my hit of news etc.
I use the google browser sync find it a great little addon, but you have to be careful with it. spend a lot of time reorganising your bookmarks and it can be all reverted back if one of the other computers running it syncs first. Quite frustrating when someone's on the other computer and you dont know. Only unsure side of it is that it saves saved passwords and logins, and it'll save them from any website at all. Which is great for small forums etc etc, but have to be careful with stuff like on-line banking etc (just thought I'd throw that warning in)
I love the NoScript addon too.

Kinda scary what kind of crap you get directed to even from what look like decent websites these days. :(
