lastRegret's list of helpful firefox add-ons + extensions. No paticular order, some are just for shits 'n' giggles, not all will be "OMGZORS SPED MY COMPTERZ 2000x", some will be completely useless but fun none the less.

Fastest Fox
So basically I can change this how this page looks completely, I can change lastRegret to RFAJKFNMADS, and the thread text to SPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMBANME
. Anyways, it won't actually change it, it'll be gone when you refresh.

Flagfox
It shows you a country flag, and if you hover your mouse over the country flag it'll show you the hosting IP address. So I can tell, on my 3rd day with no prior knowledge that GBATEMP.NET is hosted in France and the ip address is XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
. Not typing it out, download the add-on.

GreaseMonkey - Thanks to Fast6191 for the second spoiler down
Allows you to customize the way a webpage displays using small bits of JavaScript. ...
What Fast6191 said abotu GreaseMonkey
you mentioned firebug; this uses a javascript like language so you can either download or write extensions yourself http://userscripts.org/ I mainly only use it for youtube (no comments, automatically selects high quality versions, pumps picture size up to full screen, removes other junk, provides download links.....), imdb (let us just say the average temp user can find several scripts to their liking) and a few small custom scripts for sites I go to to change things how I like them.

Lazarus- Thanks to velocity37

If you're typing something in a textbox and disaster strikes, a timeout or something, and you hit back only to find an empty box? Lazarus has the text ready to restore wink.gif
Developer : Never lose anything you type into a web form again! Lazarus securely auto-saves all forms as you type, so after a crash, server timeout, or whatever, you can go back to the form, right click, "recover form", and breathe a sigh of relief.
