There are thousands of Firefox Extensions on the web, which one you prefer? I would like to share with all of you the list of my favorite Firefox Extensions. I personally prefer Firefox than other web browser because of its extensibility, i can download additional extensions, add-ins that give all kinds of cool new features, or uninstall extensions easily if i do not like them.
Cooliris Previews
Cooliris Previews is a extension to preview links without clicking or leaving your current page. It gives you the power to browse faster by mousing over an icon next to a link, and you can view every result link instantly.
del.icio.us
del.icio.us integrates your browser with http://del.icio.us, the leading social bookmarking service on the Web for storing, sharing and discovering web bookmarks. It allows you to easily bookmark webpages in del.icio.us, from within the Firefox browser and provides extra options such as right-click menu and highlight text to add notes.

This extension adds a StumbleUpon toolbar to Firefox. StumbleUpon is a collaborative surfing tool for browsing, reviewing and sharing great sites with like-minded people.

Foxmarks Bookmarks Synchronizer
Foxmarks Bookmarks Synchronizer is useful when you have more than one computer and you want to keep all your bookmarks synchronize. It works silently in the background to keep your bookmarks synchronized and also lets you access your bookmarks from any computer anytime via my.foxmarks.com. more…
Firebug
Firebug is an essential tool for developers. Firebug is the development tools at your fingertips while you browse. It allows you to examine and tweak the HTML, CSS and JavaScript contained in a page.
Sage
Sage is a nice lightweight RSS and Atom feed aggregator extension for Mozilla Firefox. Sage now interprets Live Bookmarks just as it does regular bookmarks, allowing the user to subscribe to feeds using the auto-discovery mechanism in Firefox. One thing i like about Sage is the “render feeds in the contents area†option in the settings. This will load the feed in a browser tab with just pure data, no ads.

Some other faves:
Aardvark — I use it to quickly and easily prep a webpage for printing, by removing ads, images, etc. and isolating just the content I want to print.
IE Tab — lets you quickly switch the rendering engine of a Firefox tab to IE. Useful when the page doesn’t display properly in Firefox (often with video), and I’m sure developers use it to make sure something works in both browsers.
Session Manager and/or Save Session — I use Save Session when I want to automatically continue my browsing session the next time I restart Firefox. I use Session Manager to automatically load and refresh certain “suites” of webpages — e.g. I have a saved session called “baseball” that opens a window and loads five tabs (yankees.com, redsox.com, si.com/mlb, cbs.sportsline.com, etc…)
Tab to Window — if I have too many tabs open in a single window to keep track of things easily, I use this extension to move a tab to a new window. For example, if I’m starting a new “topic” in my browsing session and want to keep all tabs on the new topic together in a single window.
Open Book — lets you customize the Add Bookmark dialog. If you use Firefox bookmarks, this extension is an absolute must.
Firefox Showcase — helps you easily manage and find tabs open in your browsing session, across windows.
All-in-one-Sidebar — the name says it all
