I've just upgraded to Firefox 1.5

Sadly there don't seem to be a lot of extentions for it. The web developer one I used to use went nuts on me and stopped FF from displaying any web pages at all. Upgrading to 1.5 I was too nervous about the stability of web developer to re-install it

Some others not mentioned

Aadvark. - Has quick block level outlining and div naming on mouseover also print cleanup tools. I find I'm using it instead of Webdeveloper for quick div name lookup.

Add Bookmark Here - Much easier way to add bookmarks

Adblock - I don't see the same pages you do, and that's good

Amazing Media Browser - quickly see and download all media files
