My Favorite Firefox extensions

My favorite Firefox extensions, in no particular order.

Flashblock: I love this. All those annoying Flash movies (most of which are ads) are replaced by a button that you have to click to make them play.
adblock: Removes ads from pages that you tell it to.
filterset updater: Let's someone else tell adblock what to block so that you don't have to. Once or twice it's blocked things in a confusing way.
web developer: If you do anything with web development ever, you should check this out.
viewSourcewith: Let's me edit textarea's with my favorite editor.
linkification: Makes things that should be clickable, clickable.
fasterfox: This seems cool. If nothing else, it tells you how long it takes each page to load.
customize google: I think this is good. I'm not quite sure what it does anymore. I think it's what lets Google searches guess what it is you want to search for. That's cool.
reveal: Not so sure about this one. It will let you, for instance, enlarge part of a page. Probably not a must-have
firefox showcase: This is sorta cool. It's sorta like that Mac OS X thing that shows you a thumbnail of each window. This shows you a thumbnail of each tab you have open.
Google Notebook: I'm still not entirely sure about whether I'm going to like this, but it looks pretty cool.
