The extensions I can't live without are AdBlock (how can you even browse the web without it nowadays?), mouse gestures (have gotten used to it way too much; much like when using too much Vim and trying to :q in other apps), some XDebug cookie helper (for PHP debugging), textarea cache (backupos the novel that you just typed into the text field when the website clears the input due to CSRF token timeout), and Regex search. GreaseMonkey is also useful for easily customising certain websites with custom JS. Some Vim bindings are cool to make it easier to get used to them, or to not having to get unused from them. We also have a Firefox extension from the antivirus used in office.

Mouse Gestures, my XDebug plugin, regex search, Vim bindings and the antivirus extension are all legacy extensions. Some of them have WebExtension replacements, but they are often not as powerful as the legacy ones (for example my new mouse gestures extension doesn't work in about: tabs) and they have new controls I have to get used to.

Older people probably still have it left from the times when it was unarguably the best browser. For those, I only hope they actually update the browser regularly, if only for security aspects.
