Foxytunes is also good as is WebDeveloper, if that's your thing.

Seconded, especially ForecastFox.

Also: (these are at http://mozilla.dorando.at/) I recommend UndoCloseTab (because I'm a doofus) and MiniT (lets you drag tabs around, without packing in a bunch of stuff that bungs up browser performance).

Oh man, I can already see where this comment thread is heading.

Thanks for pointing out a spellchecker. God knows I need one.

Mouse Gestures. It lets you navigate back a page and forward a page by using a rapid "right left" click to go back, and "left right" to go forward. Also, if you right click and drag down, it will close the page. Other gestures done with the right mouse button do other things. It has a small learning curve, but is worth it. :)

It really is amazing at how crap Internet Exploder is. I made the switch after my IE was afflicted with some particularly stubborn page-redirecting malware. I'm looking forward to blocking out those horrible Jamster! ads with adblock.
