foxmarks for book mark backup/syncing
roboform for password management and form filling
downloadthemall for fast downloading/management
better gmail (if you are a gmail users)
speeddial quick access to frequently visted sites.
Also, get used to using the "Awesome bar". Use ctrl-t to open a new tab and put focus into the URL/address bar. Then just type where you want to go. It will quick fill from your bookmarks and recently visited places. Much faster than slogging through the book mark menu.
you can also tag bookmarks if you are into that. But, with the awesome bar I haven't found a need to do this.
Set up keywords on some of your bookmarks. This lets you do various stuff. For example, I have a bookmark of:
"Kindle Store"
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_ki...ld-keywords=%s
Keyword = k
Then in the awesome bar I can just type
k this book here
And it will go and search in the kindle store.
You can also set these up for google and wikipedia. Sure, you can use the search bar (ctrl-k) but then you have to use the mouse to select where to search, and it stays at that location.
The awesome bar and foxmarks pretty much settled it for me. I only use IE7 now to browse the app we work on (it is deved for IE and doesn't work in FF.)
BTW: I find rendering and javascript stuff to be much faster in Firefox.
