Which Add-ons or Extensions do you feel are a must have for Firefox?

I have installed Webmail Notifier and NoScript on my Firefox browser and wouldn't be without them.  Are there any you feel are must-have additions to your browser?

It was difficult trying to choose a Best answer because I asked a question that was worded in such a way that every answer was promulgated on the opinion of the answerer. But the robot is bugging me to pick one, so I am going to give to Kiteman for his spell check answer simply because I believe there are a lot of people who could make use of that one.

It depends on what you use the internet for, but these are my favorites:

Adblock Plus
Coral IE Tab - lets you open IE tabs in Firefox window
Flashblock
Greasemonkey
Greasefire - when used w/ Greasemonkey lets you easily use pre-made scripts
gTranslate
Mr. Tech Toolkit - lets you override max version compatibility issues
QuickJava - lets you stop various scripts from running with the click of a button.
StumbleUpon
WikiLook

Just plain firefox covers most of everything else.

Fasterfox finally started giving me trouble so I got rid of it.  I liked it when it was running right though.
