3. App Tabs:

With this extension installed, just Ctrl+Click the tab, select App Tab, and any tab will shrink down to an icon only on the left of your Firefox window. You can set it to retain your App Tabs between sessions and protect them from closing.

If you have a Google Wave account, enter your login and password in the settings and it will log you in and notify you of new wavelets in your inbox.

5. LongURL Mobile Expander

LongURL Mobile Expander

Expands short urls everywhere across Firefox.

6. Configuration Mania

Configuration Mania

Is an interface for most of the settings in Firefox about:config page.
