Menu Icons Plus
Menu Icons PlusMenu Icons Plus iconifies your Firefox menus and more! It includes 3 different icons sets to choose from, along with the ability to import/export icon sets. It also provides options for changing other aspects of the toolbars' and menus' appearance, like combining the Stop and Reload buttons on the navigation bar or hiding the bookmark button in the location bar.
How to use Menu Icons Plus
Once it is installed, start Firefox and open the Add-ons list from the Tools menu.
Select Menu Icons Plus and click the Options button (or Preferences button in Linux).
Here you can change which icon set to use for the menu icons, and set different preferences for how the toolbars and menus appear.
Click the OK button (or Close button in Linux); if your changes don't take effect right away, restarting Firefox should do the trick.
Note: Some options may be incompatible with Firefox themes that deviate a lot from the standard theme. Also, Menu Icons Plus has some bugs yet to be worked out on Windows Vista. It should be fine on Windows XP or Linux, however.

Find All
This add-on replaces the find bar's Highlight All button with a powerful Find All button, which highlights all search terms found and displays them in an easy to view list. The list displays a few words before and after the search term so you can quickly see the context of each match. It also shows a total of how many times the search term was found on the page.
How to use Find All
Once it is installed, start Firefox and click on Edit menu > Find In This Page...
In the Find bar at the bottom of the screen, type in a word or phrase to search for and then click on the Find All button. A list will appear underneath the Find bar with the results of your search, and all matches will be selected on the web page. Also, the total number of matches appears in the Find bar status area. You can scroll through the list to easily see the context of each found result and jump to the part of the web page you want by clicking on a list item. The list may be made larger or smaller by dragging the separator bar above the Find bar.
By default, the Find All button replaces the Highlight All button on the Find bar. If you would like to have the Highlight All button back on the Find bar, you may set this preference in the Find All add-on options dialog (Tools menu > Add-ons, click Options button on Find All). You may also set a preference to not show the list of found results when the Find All button is clicked (only the total number of matches will show in the Find bar status area).
Find All also works in the browser's View Source window.

CookieMan Context

How to use CookieMan Context
Once it is installed, start Firefox and click on Tools menu > Options...
Click the Privacy panel, then click the Show Cookies button.
When you right click on a web site name in the cookies list a context menu will appear, allowing you to set its permission status without having to open the cookie Exceptions list. The context menu choices are:
- Allow - allows the site to store cookies

- Block - removes the site's cookies and it will not be allowed to store future cookies
- Copy web site address - copies the selected web site's address to the clipboard
