FireBug is #1
Rest: WebDeveloper, Google Toolbar, Stop-or-Reload Button, Tab Mix Plus, Locationbar2, Fireshot, Scrapbook, greasemonkey.
And of course: customize toolbars - http://www.alexatnet.com/node/48

My sweet list of plugins is more or less already mentioned:
- firebug: who lives without it?
- webdeveloper: switching css on/off etc
- measureIt: it just works
- colorzilla: again, just works
- html validator: always handy to see validation results
- fasterfox: gives me a timer for loading a page…

The “Firefox Accessibility Extension” gives along other features a report on the accessibility of a page (not that “it does not validate, it’s not accessible at all”-stuff!).

My list is simple - WebDeveloper and FireBug. Selenium and YSlow have come in handy as well. I used to use HTML Validator, but I switched to w3c’ service via WebDeveloper.
