Install Browser Gestures for Firefox
Install Web Development Toolbar
Here is a list of all KeyBoard Shortcuts for Firefox, Internet Explorer and Opera. A table if you like. Very useful!
More to come as I think of them or get comments with them.
This makes Firefox pretty darn fast and extremely fun to use!!
As from NuclearMoose…an avid Firefox/Mozilla user:
I suggest also EditCSS which will load a site’s stylesheet(s) into the sidebar. You can then fool with the CSS all you like, and you will see the changes. Once you have discovered a fix or something that you really like, you can simply hightlight the CSS, copy/paste it into your stylesheet, and upload it to your server. It’s available through the same extension page as all the other FB/FF extensions. I’m using FireFox, and it works just fine.
Others I recommend are:
CuteMenus
Copy Image
Bookmark Links checker
Bookmark Backup
Dictionary Search
Tabbrowser Extensions
ChromeEdit is nice for hacking profile files.
Chatzilla is a nice IRC client.
and let’s not forget the Spell Checker Front End 0.3.5.
Have fun!

Better Tweak
TABBROWSER EXTENSIONS is an abolute must have extension in my opinion. It is the only way I can get mozilla tabs to work the way I want them.
For spell checking your online text entry boxes (such as composing a post on a message board
First install This then install This and This.
You can also tweak things by creating a text file, naming it user.js and putting it in your profile folder (in Win Xp that would probably be Documents and Settings/user name/Application Data/Phoenix/profiles/profile name/(randomly named folder which should be the only one in here)/ - you can then add tweaks in such as:
// Speed up rendering by removing delay
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);
// Instead of annoying error dialog messages, display pages:
user_pref("browser.xul.error_pages.enabled", true);
//These tweaks increase the number of connections and downloads you can have going at once (these settings are for broadband connections):
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 48);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server",
8);
(these setting are for Dialup) copy to notepad and name it user.js and put it in your profile:
browser.cache.memory.capacity : 65536
browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl : true
browser.xul.error_pages.enabled : true

Tons more Here. Be sure and note whether they are tweaks for you user.js file, or tweaks for the userChrome.css file (same directory as above, in the Chrome folder).
