Firefox extensions are absolutely fantastic. The three extension I found the most useful are:
1. GMarks
Stores all the bookmarks save on Google instead of local machines. They will never be lost again, unless, of course, Google one day decide to delete all your bookmarks, in which case you probably can make a good fortune out of it.
Some may prefer del.icio.us over google bookmarks, in this case the equivalent extension for del.icio.us is here:
2. Tab Mix Plus
The tabbed browsing is made much more flexible.
3. Flashgot
It can't be missed if downloading is a common task of browsing. [10 Aug 2007: DownThemAll! is a better choice if no download manager is already installed on the system.]
Those three are the the extensions that I would want for every Firefox installation. I will even refuse to upgrade to Firefox 3 before they all support it.
There are definitely much more great extensions available. If I'm to expand the list a little longer, these will be on the list too:
Adblock Plus
Download Statusbar
Google Notebook
I would suggest IE Tab too if its security issues were solved.

In my opinion, the most useful Firefox extension goes to Adblock Plus. Now I can't even stand to visit well known websites with IE as the place of advertisements on those sites are just so disturbing. There has been some discussion on the Internet that Adblock Plus extension is damaging the online advertising business model. Some websites already block Firefox as part of their campaign to root out Adblock Plus. Luckily heavyweights like Google hasn't taken any action towards Adblock Plus, probably due to the not-so-large user size, as contemplated by the creator of Adblock Plus.
Some other extensions to watch out for are Auto Copy, VideoDownloader, Session Manager, Sage, PDF Download, Mouse Gestures, CustomizeGoogle, etc. Too many good stuff. :-)
