Communication:

11. gTalk Sidebar Use gTalk right from your Firefox sidebar. You can catch up with friends and keep browsing the Internet in the same window.
12. SiteSays Surfing doesn’t have to be a solitary experience. SiteSays lets you read others’ comments on the sites you visit and add your own comments as well. The comments appear in a small window in the corner of Firefox, so they don’t take up too much screen space.
Games:

Miscellaneous:
16. Daily Dilbert Daily Dilbert adds a small icon to your browser status bar. Click the icon to see a Dilbert cartoon for the day.
17. Mouse Gestures Too lazy to move your hand from your mouse to your keyboard? Does it exhaust you to move the mouse all the way to the top of the screen? Mouse Gestures lets you execute common commands like page back, opening and closing tabs, and opening links by drawing a particular shape with your mouse.
18. Usage Counter Ever wonder exactly how much time you waste surfing the Internet? Usage Counter will keep track of how much time you spend online and how much time you spend on each site.
19. Addictive Typing Lessons Still using the “hunt-and-peck” method of keyboarding? The Addictive Typing Lessons extension can teach you to type without looking or help you improve your speed.
20. eQuake Alert Was that a tremor? eQuake Alert displays data from the US Geological Survey every time there’s an earthquake. As an added bonus, your browser will also shake in proportion to the intensity of the quake.
