Here's a list of Firefox 2.0 extensions that I've found to be REALLY useful:
<a href='https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722' target='_blank'>No Script</a> - makes firefox several times safer. It gives you the option to block Javascript, Java, flash, and other plug-ins from automatically running on websites that aren't approved. A bit annoying actually... but better safe than sorry.
<a href='https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/39' target='_blank'>Mouse Gestures</a> - totally cool. You can run Firefox commands (such as new tab, page forward, page back, refresh, etc.) by setting (customizable!) distinct mouse strokes our key combinations.
<a href='https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/327' target='_blank'>Tweak Network</a> - Allows you to tweak your network settings (duh) a bit more than default firefox will allow, opening the possibility of making it run a bit faster.
<a href='https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/201' target='_blank'>DownThemAll!</a> - A download manager built into firefox!
<a href='https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/26' target='_blank'>Download Statusbar</a> - Annoyed by the firefox download box that opens in a separate window? This one integrates the download box into the same firefox window you're currently using.
<a href='https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865' target='_blank'>Adblock Plus</a> - reliable pop-up blocker.
<a href='https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419' target='_blank'>IE Tab</a> - Totally useful for opening pages that don't work so well on firefox. This add-on allows you to open Internet Explorer AS A FIREFOX TAB.
Oh and as for my browser skin, I'm using <a href='https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/72' target='_blank'>Noia 2.0 eXtreme</a>.
