further to my post here, i would like to add Autocomplete Manager to the list. it's still in development but has lots of potential..

So if you are a tabbed-browser fan, and have been disappointed with plain Firefox, you need to try Tab Mix Plus, it's just packed with cool options.

I think that in two weeks, Tab Mix Plus will be a thing of the past as most of its functions are now built into Firefox 2. I've never been a great fan of this extension anyway. My favourite one (considering that I use Firefox offline, yes, I know, it's pitiful ;D) is Launchy, which provides a new context menu to launch different programs installed on your computer. It includes a predefined set of programs (good set by the way) and you can "instruct" the extension to some more via a XML file. This way you can rid of a lot of extensions, like IEView, IETab (embedding IE engine in a Firefox tab? Brrr!) or Image Zoom, since you can launch Internet Explorer or your favourite image viewer whenever you need to.

Oh, and it doesn't have anything to do with the Find & Run Robot rival program of the same name :)

Autocomplete is nice idea but not much development and very slow. Not for you? I would use it if not for speed problem. Myurlbar https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1722/ is lightning fast in comparison. I have removed drop down button at urlbar so cant even check but Myurl bar probably take out that feature, no drop down list. Can live with that.

Sadly they have not learned that much from Tab Mix Plus - is still needed. But now you might be able to replace it with 2-3 smaller extensions. What I do. Not so many use all features in TMP. Extensions about tabs can be terrible if not bugfree so nice for FF there is TMP, ultimate ease of use and actively developed/supported. I might still go for it but have what I need for now.
