firebugFirebug
A must! Web development plugin. Inspect the site structure and experiment with the code while seeing the changes applied directly in your page. Great for bug fixing and cross-browser checking / adjustments.

fireftpFireFTP
FTP Client inside of Firefox. Very handy indeed. Although I mostly use eXtplorer to upload files, it's very handy to have this tool inside of Firefox itself.

Adds a menu and a toolbar with variuos web developer tools. I use the function for highlighting DIVs all the time (creates a red line around the div the mouse hovers over). Hugely time saving!

Track where your site ranks in Google, Yahoo and Microsoft Live Search using this free Firefox addon.

Draw out a ruler to get the pixel width and height of any element on a webpage.
