Here’s a list of my essential firefox extensions that I use for work or play.

ColorZilla – Advanced Eyedropper, ColorPicker, Page Zoomer and other colorful goodies.
MeasureIT – Draw out a ruler to get the pixel width and height of any elements on a webpage.
FireFTP – FireFTP is a free, secure, cross-platform FTP client for Mozilla Firefox which provides easy and intuitive access to FTP servers.
Deepest Sender – Deepest Sender is a client that will allow you to post to blogs from directly within Firefox. It is primarily a LiveJournal client, although it supports Blogger (Atom) and WordPress (metaWeblog) too, with support for more stuff to come. Note that the actual Deepest Sender website will always have the most up to date version.
IE Tab – This is a great tool for web developers, since you can easily see how your webpage displayed in IE with just one click and then switch back to Firefox.
Checky – Easy to use interface to many free and commercial Online Validation and Analysis Services. Validate and analyse HTML, XHTML, CSS, RDF, RSS, XML, WAI, Section 508, P3P, Hyperlinks, Metadata and many more. Adds a context and tools menu
Google Pagerank Status – Display the google pagerank in your browser’s status bar.
Codetch – Get the feel of Dreamweaver in a Firefox extension. Edit your documents right next to your web pages as you surf.
Web Developer – Adds a menu and a toolbar with various web developer tools.
