Here is a list of useful Firefox add-ons that I currently use.
Addblock Plus
Customize Google
- Removes adds from search results.
- Rewrites links to point straight to the images in Google Image.
- Blocks Google Analytic cookies.
- And many other features.

Flashblock
- Replaces Flash object with a button so you can decide whether to play it or not.

Forecastfox
- Displays current weather condition and weather forecasts from AccuWeather.com in status bar.
- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/398
NoScript
- Allows active content to run only from sites you trust, and protect yourself against XSS attacks.
- The drawback is that you have to build a list of sites you trust.

Nuke Anything Enhanced
- Allows hiding of almost anything via context menu ‘Remove Object’.
- This is useful when I just want to print some section. “Print Selection” works, but it takes some effort to select the sections, especially when the page is long. Also I can’t preview. This add-on allows me to preview the page after the objects have been removed.

PDF Download
- When you click on a link that points to a PDF file, this add-on asks you if you want to download it, open it, view it as html, or bypass it.
- This is a great add-on to have to prevent Firefox from been unresponsive when downloading large PDF files or you just want to see the content of the PDF file without downloading it.
