Firefox addons which ones are good, bad, or ugly?

[Wild Card]

The otherday I had to redo my hard drive so I decided that it was a good time try out Firefox (and Thunderbird for E-Mail). Anyway I notice there are a lot of addons for both Firefox and Thunderbird. So far all I gotten is the "N-Scape1" theme (I'm an old Netscape user) and "DownThemAll!" (a good download manger is needed here in Dial-Up hell).
I want to know which addons you think are must haves and which addons should be avoided like the plague.

Perhaps the most important add on of all, Adblock and Filter Set G. Virtually no more ads. Blocks probably more than 90% of them automatically.

I use Adblock Plus (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1865/). ISTR the original Adblock not being recommended anymore.

CustomizeGoogle (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/743/) since I'm paranoid about Google's data collection, and it has some little useful things like providing direct links to images in image searches.

Download Statusbar (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/26/) so I can see progress without the separate Download Manager window.

imagepref (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1173/) to quickly enable/disable images with a checkbox in the statusbar.

Imageshack right-click (http://reg.imageshack.us/content.php?page=extension), to directly upload web images to Imageshack. It seems they don't officially support it anymore, but I still find it handy.

Nuke Anything Enhanced (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/951/), useful for removing page elements to save ink when printing.

undoclosetab (http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=72992). Other extensions do this and more, but I mostly only need the undo close tab feature.

Bear in mind, Firefox 2.0 is coming soon, which will probably break compatibility with most of these till they're updated. It'll have undo close tab functionality built in, too.

I particularly like the themes Red Shift & Blue Shift. Black Japan is okay, but a little too sparse for me.

As for extentions, I have a few handy ones, and a few silly ones. In no specific order:

Fasterfox
Adblock
Adblock Filterset.G Updater
ForecastFox
Abe Vigoda Status
TinyURL Creator
Map This
US Department of Homeland Insecurity Idiocy Level
Kill Google Ads
Anti-Paranoia
Remove It Permanently
Nuke Anything Enhanced
Goodbye, Cruel World
I must not fear!
Restart Firefox
Session Manager
Download Statusbar
Disable Targets for Downloads

I've found Firefox buggy as hell the past few upgrades. Any site with WYSIWYG text editing (like Yahoo or CBR) has tons of problems in Firefox.

It might just be the Mac version, howy?

It might just be the Mac version, howy?Dunno. Haven't touched a PC in years.

I have this weird bug that periodically disables the arrow keys and turns the apostophe key into a search/replace popup menu. The only sure way to turn it off that I've found is to close all browser windows and then open them up again. Sometimes hitting the little flag key or the one with the box on it at the bottom of my keyboard turns it off, but sometimes that doesn't work.

I'd go back to IE if it weren't for the popup and banner ads.

I love the IETab extension. You would be amazed at how many pages will not work in Firefox, but with IETab, you click the little Firefox logo at the bottom right and the tab and page become IE.

[Tadhg]

Dunno. Haven't touched a PC in years.

Use the 2.0 Release candidate, it was the first version to not cause me problems.

Although, the spell check insists your name is wrong.

Yours probably makes it curl up in the corner sobbing, then.

Nightmares for life, I bet.

I'm a big fan of Fasterfox.

[Wild Card]

Thanks for the subjections. I been checking them out.

Howdy, so far Firefox itself hasn't giving any problems with posting here (since I don't use Yahoo I wouldn't know about that).

Jeff, "Abe Vigoda Status" gave no results and both "Goodbye, Cruel World" and "I must not fear!" give too many. Also "Restart Firefox" on the Mozilla Add-ons page is out of date and had to the author's homepage for the updated version.

Meh, I don't have problems with any of those. There are settings for each that you can adjust.

And it's "suggestions."

You misunderstand me, when say that it gave me no results or too many results I ment the search results on the add-ons page.

[Jeff Brady]

Ah, I'll look them up when I get home from work.

Not even close.

Maybe I'll try the 2.0 release candidate. Firefox 1.5 on my Mac hogs the processor horribly. It's not even the "select text" bug. It just does it all the friggin' time. If I want to watch a movie in iTunes, I have to quit Firefox first.
