i can give a tip on how to remove an addon that cannot be removed the normal way - The java console.

Whenever we update the java runtime, we see a newer version of java console in addons tab, but no way to remove the disabled or in use previous console. Only way to remove these older versions is to right click on the FF link and open as administrator, give password if asked and then the uninstall option is enabled. After uninstalling the older java console versions, you can exit and start ff in normal mode.
 
Flashblock : To disable flash advertisements etc. U can always see the videos by clicking 'Unblock' symbol on the banner/video space.

Will it work like this ? You came across a site & book marked it in one laptop at office,

Now you go home & open firefox, Will it have the same bookmark stored in office laptop ?
 
No script add on is too protective..

It wont run scripts even on facebook, orkut gmail and the likes...

some times if u come across a new site u wont even know which scripts are being blocked na dsome of them might be needed..

IN megaupload the download script doesnt work... so i cant download..

You can disbale it on sites you know... but the sites yoou dont know off and which are of use... might get partially blocked and i wont even come to know..

So a strict NO no for this one..

My favortie would be..

WOT

ABP

USER AGENT SWITCHER - somesites require that you use IE only.. with this just one click and it tricks the site into thinking you are using IE 5, 6 ,7 or or even iphone browser..

ExternalIP - shows ur current ip in the status bar.. useful for people like me with dynamic ip..

FlagFox - shows the flag of the country where the website is hosted..
