This is great! I haven't paid much attention to FF/TB extensions up to now
because the few I tried early on got obsolete and/or didn't work well.
They are getting better - in fact there are a number which are designed
to integrate themselves within websites (google preview is the first
that springs to mind - it displays a thumbnail of a website within the
google search listings).
But: what's the modular search thingie? Moreover: what would you suggest
for backups/sharing of bookmarks? For control of popups/ads and script
vulnerabilities?
Surely there's a list somewhere for asking these things?
I'm not sure about a list, but aside from the standard sites (click the
Get Extensions links in FF/TB), mozdev.org is a good place to look
around for plugins. Some are still in planning/alpha stage, but there's
some promising plugins coming along! :)
Personally, I don't use many plugins. Thunderbird-wise, I use
Quotecolors (Colourizies the background and borders of different levels
of quotations to help see the different levels of conversations. very
nice and very clean.) and Mail Redirect (allows be to 'bounce' messages
to other people instead of forwarding).
For Firefox, Web Developer (for my Web Design work - very nice!), Google
Page Rank (out of interest) and Download Statusbar (puts current
downloads as buttons just about the status bar).
