I use things like FlashBlock (stops flash movies playing until you click on the flash logo, stops a lot of annoying and shit ads in their tracks), IE Tab, FEBE (my favourite extension, you can take a complete backup of your Firefox profile and copy it to another machine) and ReloadEvery, which reloads a page after x seconds.
I like the way on the Google toolbar your search term shows up word by word on the search bar as a button - click the word and it finds it on the page. You can also highlight the search terms, a different colour for each word. I like the "search site" button too.
