I am also curious about what Firefox plugins you guys like. Here are the ones I use all the time:
1. Firebug (

)
2. Web Developer (

)
3. Shazou! (

)
4. W3C CSS Validator (

)
5. FxIF - EXIF viewer (

Adblock+ Adblock+ Adbock+
And user agent switcher for cranky websites. Some dont like firefox, and some (NBCOLYMPICS, IM TALKING ABOUT YOU) refuse you based on operating system.
greasemonkey is kewl too, but dangerous for tinkerers
and when i want to be anonymous (no reason
) there is a tor extension i dig up once in a while, which i found to be more reliable (and faster) than proxy hopping (also an extension).

I really like NoScript and FlashGot. NoScript can be a pain in the beginning, but once you get your trusted sites added, it adds a nice bitl of protection. FlashGot allows you to use external download managers(vwget is my preferred). PicLens is installed, but I never use it.

Foxcast, the weather plugin
Foxmarks for sharing my bookmarks between my desktop and laptop
Adblock Plus
AVG Safesearch, which protects against malicious links
Oldbar, makes the FF3 address bar look like FF2
Skype add on Allows me to call numbers that appear on a webpage through skype
IE Tab, for those sites that need IE to run in order to see things on the page

Adblock+ - The essential firefox addon imo
Mouse Gestures Redox - Lets you control forward, back, etc with your mouse
1-Click Weather - Weather addon done by weather.com people
Download status bar - I think this should be included in firefox to begin with, puts your downloads in a small bar at the bottom of the screen
Thats it for me, I like to keep it as light as possible as not to bog down my computer.

I'd be more interested in a plugin to filter out anything to do with MySpace pages in general
