Like many Firefox users, I have a number of add-ons installed that customize the browser and make my work/browsing easier. Since these are very useful to me, I thought I would share my list in case anyone is interested in trying them out.
I’ve used an add-on called "Extension List Dumper" that makes it simple to dump a list of all installed add-ons. Enjoy.

Hey man. You should check out Coral IE Tab.
The main benefit over IE Tab is that it remembers your cookie (so you don’t have to re-sign in) when switching rendering engines.
