Some Add-ons seem buggy when I try them. It's like not Mac compatible.
But some work fine. I like 'Email Page', 'Videodownloader' and Googlepedia.
I'm wondering what are the good extensions, that work.

There's one that blocks Flash content unless you specifically enable it. It's called, unsurprisingly Flashblock.

TinyURL creator -magically puts the TinyURL equivalent URL of your current website into the clipboard for immediate pasting into an e-mail. Great.

Definately AdBlock Plus.
and, IMHO...
"Text Link": let's you open plain text addresses that aren't hyperlinks, like this one: http://www.cnn.com
"Open Link In...": lets you decide where each hyperlink will open: new tab/window, foreground or background tab/window.

MR Tech Local Install - makes tweaking easy
Unplug - allows downloading of embedded media
Live HTTP Headers - allows viewing of request and response headers
JSView - can list JS and CSS files used by a web page
Blocksite - prevent your browser from contacting the really nasty sites

I don't use Firefox on my Mac as I much prefer OmniWeb, but do use it on my work PC. To make it more OmniWeb-like:
Firefox Showcase - lets me have a sidebar with graphical tabs amongst other things.
Tab Mix Plus - better session management and workspaces-like feature amongst other things.
And PC-only, to let you open sites as an IE page:
IE Tab

I don't block ads because sites like this earn revenue from ad impressions. I want to do my part in keeping economies strong.
The only plugin I have is the flv downloader so I can save some YouTube vids.

I like Greasemonkey to get rid of any Intellitxt that might be on a particular page. Adblock plus, mentioned above, is excellent as well.

In addition to some already mentioned, I like Google Browser Sync, Web Developer toolbar, ColorZilla (more useful on Windows), Firebug, and Sage newsreader.

If you do any sort of Web/HTML/css dev the Firebug Extension is invaluable, being able to see minor changes to the HTML/CSS 'live' in the browser on any page makes debugging so much easier.
ColorZilla's ColorPicker is also handy for getting quickly colours from anywhere a page without having to launch Photoshop.
Snapper which I have just found will be really useful if you use Windows, where you can only do 'full screen' screenshots.
Another 'Screenshot' type Extenstion is screengrab which will take a 'screenshot' of the whole of a webpage, not just the bit visible in the open window.

I just found a new extension that I think is a must-have: MIME Edit. Makes file handling much easier.
