Ok, so maybe I can’t really claim anything is the “Top” Firefox extension, because I surely haven’t seen them all… but here are two that I’ve been turned on to recently:

IETab: Allows you to open IE-only sites (that don’t work or crash in FFox) in a new tab. I assume it basically uses IE in the FFox interface. You won’t believe how quickly you’ll use it! (Only works on Windows with IE 4+.)

Tab Mix Plus: This has a lot of tab-related features, but the real boon for me is that you can set it up to open new window links (target=_blank) in new tabs. If you like, you can open all popups in tabs as well. This is tabbed browsing at its finest!
