mouser:

good find crono, we'll leave this to the firefox people then, they seem to know what they are doing and have enough cash to fund some good prizes :)

Innuendo:
mouser,
Forget NetCaptor! If you want to stay with an IE-based browser then that's cool. A lot of people prefer the way IE does things, but do yourself a favor...check out Maxthon. It beats Netcaptor on all fronts. Furthermore, Maxthon has plugins like Firefox does so if there's any lack of features out of the box chances are a plugin will take care of it.
And did I mention that unlike NetCaptor Maxthon is free? :)
f0dder:
Adblock (and google for "adblock list" to make it effective)
Fasterfox - speed up your browsing experience by tricks like preloading links before you click them, tweaking memory and disk cache, etc.
Tabbrowser Preferences - for less sucky tabs
Download Manager Tweak - so download window shows as a tab, etc.
Mouse Gestures - because my mouse doesn't have a "forward" button.
ScrapBook - because it's way more handy than "file->save page as".

ImageZoom
Tab X
OpenBook
mouser:
fodder - get yourself a mouse with back+forward buttons asap - makes all the difference in the world; seriously it makes surfing a lot more fun.
f0dder:
Well, I have a back-button which is enough most of the time, and it doesn't get in my way. Some of the mice I've used when visiting friends and relatives have really pi$$ed me off, too many buttons programmed to do weird things. When I do need "forward", holding down the right mousebutton and moving the mouse right is easy enough :)
My current mouse (logitech mx300) is wearing out, though... sucks that the majority of non-crap mice around today seem to be very fancy-pants, I want something simpler (being left-handed and all).
