I run with KeyScrambler, Better Privacy, Adblock Plus (and adblock plus element hider helper) and Web Of Trust.

You might think that a notable exception is NoScript, but I really found that this program hinders my every day surfing.

I also use the master password option, but this doesn't stop the browser from loading, and loading your previous session, if you cancel the password entry box. Much to my disdain.

What does everyone else use?

Just as an aside to this topic. I just installed fasterfox and it has fixed my slow page load issue. I was previously waiting 5 seconds for most pages to load :evil:

NoScript, Flashblock and Adblock Plus.

I've also set Firefox to "forget" pages visited etc automatically when I close the browser.

Adblock, NoScript, Web of Trust, TrackMeNot

Tried Flashblock but it killed everything

[Edit] Oh yeah forgot - I use the ixquick.com HTTPS Search engine plugin.

Ah, I like the search, except that I don't find the layout as easy as Google.

Also the browser search bar doesn't issue suggestions which I find quite handy.

It seems that most people are using much of the same plugins
