What's on your FireFox?

I'd like to know if anybody has any extensions and/or themes that they are using with firefox that they find particularly useful or interesting.

I am currently using the following extensions:
Foxy Tunes - allows control of most any media player and sits in status bar
Adblock - for filtering ads (haven't done much with it yet)
Open link in ... - adds a few options to right click menu
ieview - shows up in right click menu ad lets you open links in IE or reload existing page in IE

I'm also using the walnut theme. Not useful but looks nice.

I use
tab browser - it makes most links open in new tabs instead of new windows by default
easy gestures - this is the best extension ever, you click the middle button/scroll wheel on your mouse and it brings up a window that you can use to go back, forward, close tab, home, etc.

I'm trying to use mouse gestures, but I don't think it's working. When I click the mouse wheel I just get the option to scroll the page by moving the mouse. Do I have to disable this, or do something in the mouse gestures options?
thanks!

Hmmm...to the mouse gestures, I've yet to try them. What kind of stuff can you do with them? Anyone with the mx700 logitech mouse use them? I can do several things with my mouse, and I guess that's why I haven't installed them yet. Just wondering what all stuff you can do.

Extensions:

Tabbrowser prefs
adblock
fireftp

All it really does is pop up a little circle menu that gives you options like close tab, back, forward, home etc. You get more options by right clicking with the menu up. It doesn't sound like much when you describe it, but i love it.
Also nin137, the only think i can think of is to look in the extension options. It can be made so that you have to hold down shift and center click. This might be enabled by default and you should be able to make it so that all you have to do is middle click.

The one I have are real gestures. For example, right-left it home, up-down is reload, up-left-down is new teb, etc...

Hmmm, think I'll just stick with my MX700 thanx for the info though, sounds similar to a program some logitech mice come with that opens up a circular menu with those options (not gestures, as ghost has though)

Spellbound.
Otherwise just the usual, Adblock and FoxyTunes.
I'm about to install a new primary drive so will probably add AgentSwitcher.
