It's fascinating to discover many useful extensions for Firefox and Thunderbird, which offer unparalleled user experience. Here I'd like to share some examples that I'm using. First please see a list of add-ons for Firefox.
1)
Adblock Plus: the web page is much cleaner without the ads.
2)
Add-on Compatibility Reporter3)
All-in-One Sidebar: It appears to be incompatible with the default theme when switching the themes, and the
development build has the fix.
4)
Chromin Frame: bringing the same look and feel as Google Chrome browser.
5)
Chromin Tab Behavior6)

Coral IE Tab: Originally I was using the
IE Tab which is not compatible with the new Firefox 3.6; then I switched to the Coral IE Tab. You need to check the developer's web site for the
latest add-on.
