its my pleasure to answer this question , because i have been a Firefox user right from its inception and for me Firefox is The Gateway to WWW.lets start --1-- Block Scripting and eventually potential script exploits that can seriously hamper your security . highly recommended . No Script ( http://noscript.net/ )2-- Be sure where you surf . WOT ( https://www.mywot.com/ )3-- Manage , Store and Generate Secure passwords safely ( https://lastpass.com/ )4-- Block the ones who track you . Ghostery . ( http://www.ghostery.com/ )5-- Enforce Secure HTTPS protocol on all supported sites . HTTPS Everywhere ( https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere )6-- Manage and Delete the Daddy of all cookies , the Flash LSO.s which are hard to delete that easily and can very easily and persistently track you . Better Privacy ( http://netticat.ath.cx/extensions.html )7-- Scramble your Key Strokes and prevent malicious programs and codes from tapping your Key Strokes . Key Scrambler ( http://www.qfxsoftware.com/ )8-- Tweak FireFox for even more speed , Faster Fox Lite ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fasterfox-9148/ )9-- A multi utility tool . Flagfox ( http://flagfox.net/ ) . as the name says , its identifies the country of the site hosting server , and many more tools like , Alexa Analysis , McAfee safe web , Down for me or not , URL shortener , PING the site , and many more ..10-- Clean up the Firefox database places . as it can build up from regular use and eventually slow down browsing . Places Cleaner ( https://code.google.com/p/placescleaner/ )11- Clean up the redundant entries left behind from uninstalled extensions . ecleaner ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ecleaner/ )12-- An Ad Blocker ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/ ) ( although personally i dont use it )13-- and some Visual customizers -- --My Fav -- Stratiform ( http://spewboy.deviantart.com/ )--and the classic Personas ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/personas-plus/ )--user scripts for visual changes . Stylish ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/ )14-- Make the web page your play ground .as you want it .GreaseMonkey ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/ )barring a few minor ( but of course useful ) , these are all i think are quite useful ...!!hope it helps ...!happy surfing ..!mj

sorry for the long list , but getting 3 favs out of a millions of Firefox Add Ons Available is i think , quite unjustified .these are the most useful Firefox Add Ons in my opinion , and each covers a different aspect of the Usability .Each one is the best in what it does !so going by a Holistic approach and covering different requirements for making the WWW a safe and better and more enjoyable place to be at , with the Help of Firefox and its Add ons , the list was presented ..! :)and i think , to give all the add ons a fare chance of entry into the final compiled list , ( a list which actually makes the Firefox even better in totality ) , the ques header should be -- Most Useful Firefox Add ons ..!thanks ...mj ..
