The first and only download manager/accelerator built inside Firefox!
Collector's Note I loved this little plugin and have used it intermittently since first discovering it back before the Google Chrome days. I have had issues getting it working of late, so I started using FlashGet instead; not a perfect sidegrade, but it does what I need it to.
MinimizeToTray revived

Minimizes windows into the system tray.
Collector's Note I have been accidently closing my browser while doing things in the foreground since my recent change to a hard mousemat instead of cloth and a new, high DPI mouse. In the past, accidental closures have been a serious issue for me, as I quickly learned that reopening Firefox before it has completely closed can cause it to forget its session, and lose all your open tabs even if you have it set to reopen them each start. This is a very easy way around my issue, as it allows options for minimise to tray and close to tray, requiring a right click on the tray icon to actually quit the browser. I kinda like having a little Firefox icon down there beside my Winamp, Steam and Trillian icons, anyway.

Adds an about:addons-memory page that details add-on memory usage
Collector's Note Displays the memory impact of your add-ons. Not the easiest to use, but gets the job done. Currently disabled.
Tab Counter

A simple extension that counts the number of open tabs per window and displays the count in the toolbar...
Collector's Note Speaking of tabs, this little ripper can be configured to show you things like how many tabs to either side of the current tab, the current tab's position and the total number of tabs open. It's quite unobtrusive, too.
Restartless Restart

This 15KB restartless add-on will add a "File" -> "Restart" menu item and a ctrl/cmd + alt + r hotkey to restart Firefox or Seamonkey.
Collector's Note I used this a hell of a lot. Not sure whether it's redundant these days or not; I simply do not use stock firefox. Although I think mozilla have ironed out the kink that caused the bug, Firefox used to confuse data upon quick reopen while it's still shutting down, causing it to forget things like which tabs you had open last. I used this plugin to avoid this.
