The add-ons for Firefox make the whole experience of browsing the web so much easier. Here are three of my essential add-ons – which all work with Firefox 3:
CoLT makes it easy to copy either a hyperlink’s text or both the link and the link’s text (in a format you specify). Two handy context-menu items make this possible, and don’t add clutter; the items are only visible when right-clicking a link! It’s great for lifting links off other pages to insert in blogs!
IE Tab enables you to easily see any web page displayed in IE with just one click, with just one click to switch back to Firefox. It’s also useful for using Firefox on sites that require IE – I use it particularly for Hotmail and my Salvation Army workspace and web based email. It’s also useful if full-screen mode won’t work in BBC iPlayer or YouTube.
Session Manager saves and restores the state of all windows – either when you want it or automatically at startup and after crashes. Additionally it offers you to reopen (accidentally) closed windows and tabs.

I’m a huge fan of The Web developer Add-on (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60) as well as Dummy Lipsum (http://sogame.awardspace.com/dummylipsum/)
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Nam rutrum eros vel nulla? Donec nulla. Curabitur sollicitudin. Vestibulum ac pede non quam imperdiet consequat?

And for bonus points… why is Lorem Ipsum so popular in the publishing world?
At least I got a response! lol
