List of Firefox Add-ons
I know that this has been written about on this site before; it is always good to go over it again. Here is a list of the add-ons that I find are the most useful in my everyday browsing in Firefox.
ColorfulTabs
This add-on is one of my favorites. It will color every tab in your Firefox browser in a different color and makes them easy to distinguish while beautifying the overall appearance of the browser. You can customize how and what color it will color each of your tabs.

Firebug:
If you are a serious web developer or even just dabble with coding web pages, this is a must-have add-on. Firebug integrates with Firefox to put a wealth of development tools at your fingertips while you browse. You can edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page.  This means you can easily view and study other people’s code as well as your own.

Firefox 3.6 Beta 3 Released
Mozilla has released yet another beta for Firefox 3.6, this is the third beta meaning the RC is at hand, this beta fixes more than 80 bugs and much more stable and the improved JavaScript engine does a good job in rendering but the 3.6 is marginally faster than 3.5 I hope this will change in 3.7.
If you are using 3.6 beta 1 or 3.6 beta 2 I advise you to upgrade ASAP. Incompatible plugins are always an issue, but you can always disable compatibility checking by following this guide, but Its better you install Mozilla’s Add-on Compatibility Reporter add-on and tell Mozilla if your favorite add-ons work with the new Firefox release. This add-on disables compatibility check as well.
I have checked and I’m confirming that Firefox 3.6 Beta 3 DOES NOT break the following extensions:
LastPass
Xmarks
Greasemonkey
Ad Block Plus
Ad Block Plus Element Hiding Helper
