42 Addons must make your Firefox slow...[/quote]
I actually did some pruning a few weeks ago and got rid of a lot of my addons. The 42 I have installed are just the ones I consider necessary.
Without addons like Simple Mail, Yahoo Mail Notifier, Gmail Notifier, etc., I wouldn't ever remember to check all my emails. Colorzilla, FireFTP, IE Tab, etc. are amazingly convenient for developers. Without ForcastFox, I wouldn't have any idea what number to put into the sentence "Holy freaking crap, it's <insert ForcastFox Number here> degree's outside!" on ventrilo. Addon's like Disable Backspace Navigation make it so you don't accidentally go back a page if you hit backspace, losing potentially valuable information. Almost all of my addons are things I would find it hard to live without.
The only two I can't seem to get working are FasterFox and Compact Menu. Already I'm getting highly annoyed by the extra toolbar at the top that I'm not used to. Luckily FireFox 3 seems to be fast enough that I don't notice a difference in not having FasterFox.
