To name a few: *CS Lite <-- Quick management for cookie permissions (think of white lists) *NoScript <-- Definitely very important. Disable scripts unless you know you can trust them (use a white list and add sites to it temporarily). *RefControl <-- For good measure, stop sites knowing where you've come from. Then there's some other, non-security goodies: *Tiny Menu <-- Minimise that annoying menu toolbar :) *ScrapBook <-- Keep a record of things you find on the net. *Greasemonkey <-- Remove annoyances, add features, generally play god with websites. *All-in-One Sidebar <-- More important in old versions of Firefox (e.g. 2) but this still has some value.
