There are some more EXCELLENT extensions I have found:

Bugmenot: right click in username/passwords for sites and it'll put in a working registration. This is great for newspapers and other sites that require free registration to read articles.

PrefButtons: This gives you the ability to add tons of features to the toolbar as a button. The killer feature is a "Send referer" checkbox. You can uncheck it and your browser won't send referring page information and pages that normally require "drag n drop" to work will just load right up. So, for example, you can click on images hosted on geocities without getting an error. This isn't always a good idea though as some sites will not allow you access unless you tell them the referrer. So the ability to check it on/off when needed is killer.

A somewhat related extension is

spoofX: This spoofs a URL as coming from itself. For quite a few pay websites (*cough* pr0n *cough*) you can get full access by just spoofing your referral as being from the members link. Not saying that this is ethical, but hey free high res pr0n!

Thumbs: Speaking of pr0n, there is an extension that turns a link into a thumbnail of an image that's on the page. So if, for example, you had a page of pr0n links, this extension would convert that page into a large number of thumbnail preview images. You can quickly choose your own adventure that way rather than being surprised by what's behind the link.
