I love Firefox. One of the reasons I love it so much is because it is designed so that other software developers can create their own "add-ons" to it. Here are some of my favorite add-ons:
Adblock Plus
This add-on blocks most advertisements on the Web. While I disagree with this from a capitalist point of view, it really removes the clutter from your screen.
GBookmarks
Say you use one computer at work, another at home, and a laptop when you travel. You end up with bookmarks on 3 different computers and can never find the ones you need. GBookmarks solves that by allowing you to use Google Bookmarks just like you use your regular bookmarks. Then, no matter what computer you use, you can just sign-in to your Google account and retrieve the same set of bookmarks.
Undo Closed Tabs
Ever spend a lot of time searching for something only to accidentally close your tab and lose your place? With this add-on, if you accidentally close your tab, you just right-click and click "Undo close tab".
There are also some great add-ons for Web developers such a Firebug. There are many other various add-ons from weather reports to e-mail notifications.
Another other feature I love about Firefox is how it keeps track of where you are. For example, in Firefox 3 if you have several tabs open and close the browser, it will ask you if you want to save your place. And if Firefox accidentally crashes (which will happen no matter what browser you are using), when you open it back up it will ask if you want to restore your session and you're back where you left off.
