What plug-ins (if any) have you installed on firefox?

Which ones are a must have for download?

I've had to delete a few add-ons (some strange crashes I'm trying to isolate) but here's some of my remaining must-haves:

1. Google toolbar (Great for quick searches of articles/images/news)

2. Tab Mix Plus (Adds much more functionality to multitasking tabbed browsing)

3. Video Downloader (To get content for my phone - others installed but imo this is the most user friendly)

4. Noia Theme (Just a cool theme: I can also fit more icons on the bookmarks toolbar)

5. Highlighter (Highlight's texts on webpage - good for coursework :D)

6. Split Link (For foruming: get's original html from websites)

7. Aging Tabs (Ages tabs you aren't viewing by darkening chosen colour - I can't find the update for the simple coloured tabs)

8. Add - Block (blocks adds, more user friendly in 1.5 version)

9. Download Statusbar (puts your downloads on a bar so you can easily view them. Seems to work faster than the default one)

10. I.E. Tab (opens I.E. tab in FF) Here's where I got the above from (All compatible with FF 2.0)

https://addons.mozilla.org/

Some need settings to be changed (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions > Options) to maximise their potential for enhanced browsing (as the default of some make minimal changes)

What about you guys? What FF Add-ons have you got?:D

My main ones are Sage for feed reading, DownThemAll download manager, and Google Notebook, as well as the Tab Mix Plus and IE Tab you mentioned. I have a few more, but they are the ones I can't live without.
