Here is a short but important list of Firefox add-ons


What are add-ons?
Add-ons are small pieces of software that add new features or functionality to your Browser (in this case, Firefox)

Firefox Security Add-ons


. AdBlock Plus - surf the web without annoying ads! Block banners, pop-ups, video ads, malware domains and tracking;
. Disconect - Block malware and tracking. Faster web page's loading;
. HTTPS Everywhere - encrypts your communications, making your browsing more secure;
. LastPass - Password manager that saves all your passwords. You only need to remember one password, the master one that will have you acess to all the other passwords;
. Track me not - protects privacy in web search. Obfuscates your search profile.

Firefox Speed Add-ons


. Fasterfox - makes your browsing so much faster! Increases meaningly your Browser speed.
You really dont need another speed add-on once you have Fasterfox.

There are many usefull add-ons you just need to search for them :)
Here are a few more that can be usefull for you:

. DownThemAll - increases download speed and lets you download all the links/images contained in a webpage;
. Download Statusbar - view and manage downloads from a statusbar;

. Tab Mix Plus - enchances tabs browsing capabilities. Features such as "duplicating tabs", "undo closed tabs", "undo closed windows" and many more.

If you are a Developer or want to be one, you can find some nice Add-ons that will allow you to learn how to costumize websites (CSS, HTML, Javascript) and some other stuff.

Hope i've helped you in some way
