Other than my super hot theme (WHICH IS COOL BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE NETSCAPE, NOT BAD BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE NETSCAPE), I have a wikipedia search, a Ukrainian dictionary (do not ask, it was mainly an accident XD), WeatherBug (shows the weather for the next few days and tells you current temp), MeasureIt, DisableBackspaceNavigation (GET IT NOW), and SpeedDial (which is amazing).

I feel like looking for some other cool add-ons but I'm too lazy.

I had 2 add-ons, Firefox blue theme I think it was, and this other one that lets you download flash files as .fla (need an fla player) so you can play em on your computer. Things such as youtube files or ones on other websites. But I use Chrome now, no need for those add-ons and Chrome is more sleek ^^

Never know about that Itunes thing for Firefox but yeah Firefox is the greatest I hate IE it goes so slow no matter what. And I really just use the skins for Firefox.

I have few addons for FF to be honest, I just have my little search bar with Wiki, Youtube, Google, Amazon.co.uk, and Torrents.to engines in it.

I like this little FoxyTunes thing though, pretty cool. Any way to edit it so all it says is "Now playing: [Band + track]" instead of the linkage?

I also just put on automatically insert into forum posts. So you guys always know what I'm listening to XD

Now, now just a slight reminder if you go extension crazy it sometimes has the ability to bog your browser down making it very slow. Just a word of warning

What I use:
Delicious Bookmarks
Firebug
MeasureIt
Web Developer

That is all.

Of course I use custom searches in the search bar. I also use the ability to right click on a certain form field and say "Add Keyword for This Search." Two places I use that are for the GrandExchange look up ge [item name] and for stat lookups rsn [playername]. Those are very useful.

Does anyone know of an addon which tells you the frequency and tally of keys pressed on the keyboard (for example the most pressed letter on my keyboard may be "F" and I pressed it "150 time since opening browser, 5238 times total" purely as an example sake) or is this only available as a seperate program not available to integrate into a browser?

I've got DownloadHelper, or something along those lines, as well as NoScript.

Too many extentions really will bog your browser down. I rarely consider adding new features as what I've got now works fine.

As for anti-phishing site protection, I run PeerGuardian2. I've got it set up to block all known Government, .Edu/Research facilities (you'd be surprised how many random schools try to connect to my computer..Granted I'm at a University, but seriously it's insane.), anti P2P Ips, etc. Great free utility, especially if you can set it up correctly.

I would have to agree with you there.

The amount of crap i get on my computer is ridiculous.
