Firefox is my primary browser, I use it over 90%. I can not abandon IE because some sites in Chinese are IE only, and I can not pay online if I use FF.
I love FF, and its extensions. These extensions make my efficiency high. I feel cool when I use them.
Followings are my extensions:
Aardvark 2.9: amazing tools, can remove any part in pages. It also could reform pages when you remove elements. I use it with another extension : Clip to onenote
Access Flickr: We need it see photos at flickr in China….
Adblock Plus: no more words to commen it
All-In-One Gesture: Make all easy. I set up to open a new tab, down to close; right to forward and left to back
Better Gmail 2: A Grease Monkey scripts addon. My Gmail looks better now, and I know the types of attachments before open them.
BioFox : A bioinformatics addon, I use it because my major: molecular biology. I often search at NCBI etc.
BlogRovR: I like it! I got it just few days ago. I used it before, but did not knew how it useful. Because my feeds were few, BlogRovR can not show its fuctions. Now When I open a new page, I expect BlogRovR give me a wonderful related site.
Clip to onenote: MS Office 2007 onenote tool, easily clip what you are interested in to Onenote. Only a right click.
Colorful tabs: This addon make tabs beautiful, but there is some problem works with FF3B5. Colors are not full fill in tabs.
Cooliris Preview: You could see what the link is without open it or leave current page.
Delicious Bookmarks: Save all your bookmarks at delicious;Now what I use is a alpha-edition, it works perfect at FF3B5. “Last added” BUG was also fixed. I could not leave it every day

gLadder: A proxy addon. You need it if you are also in China or you want to browse some forbidden sites.
Google calendar notifier: Show your calender agendas at your FF statubar
Googlebar lite: Official googlebar doesn’t work in FF3B5, so I choose this lite one to instead of it. Googlebar lite has the basic functions and quick links to google sites.
Highlighter: Highlight words in pages
HyperWords: A very powerful addon when you want to know a word. It can search, translate, link and wiki that word.
IEtab: Some sites are IE only, so you could open with IE in FF tabs
