This page some Firefox extensions that I use regularly. Click on the name to search for them on Mozilla's site.
Enhanced functions
Tab Mix Plus
Tab Mix Plus enhances Firefox's tab browsing capabilities. It includes such features as duplicating tabs, controlling tab focus, tab clicking options, undo closed tabs and windows, plus much more.
Go parent Folder
The plugin Go parent Folder enables you to see where a bookmark from a filter result is located.
gTranslate

Block adds
Block images, popups banners and flash before they annoy you:
Search
Add right-click search engines
Make search functionality available in the Search Bar with Add to Search bar
The search engine's URL can be customized to your wishes. I made changes to IMDB search to jump to the best match immediately, instead of showing all possible matches. This trick uses Google's 'Im+Feeling+Lucky' function. First make sure you have the IMDB search engine and then modify it following beneath example.
gedit /home/$USER/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/searchplugins/imdb.xml
<SearchPlugin xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/2006/browser/search/" xmlns:os="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/">
<os:ShortName>IMDb</os:ShortName>
<os:Description>IMDb</os:Description>
<os:InputEncoding>ISO-8859-1</os:InputEncoding>
<os:Image width="16" height="16">data:image/png;base64</os:Image>
<SearchForm>http://www.google.com/search</SearchForm>
<os:Url type="text/html" method="GET" template="http://www.google.com/search">
<os:Param name="btnI" value="Im+Feeling+Lucky"/>
<os:Param name="q" value="IMDB+{searchTerms}"/>
</os:Url>
</SearchPlugin>
Include all right-click search engines
Context Search expands the context menu's 'Search for' item into a list of installed search engines, allowing you to choose the engine you want to use for each search.
