Adblock Plus
Blocks annoying video ads on YouTube, Facebook ads, banners and much more. Adblock Plus blocks all annoying ads, and supports websites by not blocking unobtrusive ads by default (configurable). Review note: I prefer uBlock Origin.


DownThemAll!
The first and only download manager/accelerator built inside Firefox!


Firebug
Firebug integrates with Firefox to put a wealth of development tools at your fingertips while you browse. You can edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page... Review note: Firecookie is part of Firebug since Firebug 1.10


FlashGot Mass Downloader
Download all the links, movies and audio clips of a page at the maximum speed with a single click, using the most popular, lightweight and reliable external download managers.


Greasemonkey
Customize the way a web page displays or behaves, by using small bits of JavaScript. Review note: Useful to block anti-blockers with developed user scripts. However, Greasemonkey is quite CPU expensive so I don't recommend it for slow or old computers. User Scripts are licensed separately by their authors so you should check them separately in order to verify if they are free software.


NoScript Security Suite
Allow active content to run only from sites you trust, and protect yourself against XSS and Clickjacking attacks. Review note: Useful to use Flash, Java, and video plugins securely. NoScript implements two features not found in uBlock Origin: Application Boundaries Enforcer (ABE) and ClearClick (anti-clickjacking) to protect web browser plugins from being exploited. However, in most cases plugins are unnecessary in web browsers, and security experts recommend that it not be run in a browser unless absolutely necessary. If plugins are required by a few web sites, users should have a separate browser profile specifically for those sites. Note that frame-based clickjacking is still possible even if you don't use plugins, NoScript can prevent this but also give false positive notifications. µBlock or Adblock Plus based add-ons provides great power & flexibility in controlling cross-site requests, but requires writing rules. NoScript that blocks all scripts (or RequestPolicy for cross-site requests) provides an interface that is quick & easy to use, and perhaps most importantly, gives feedback about which requests are being blocked/allowed on each page, but without the fine-grained permissions that the other mentioned add-ons allows.


uBlock Origin
Finally, an efficient blocker. Easy on CPU and memory. Review note: uBlock Origin is ideally used with Violentmonkey and user script Anti-Adblock Killer Continued (AAK-Cont). "uBlock Origin ("uBO") and uMatrix must be considered incompatible with NoScript." - Raymond Hill, author of uBlock Origin. You can subscribe to GNU IceCat SpyBlock filters “Block all well known privacy trackers: (high risk of web page breakage)” and “Block all third party resources when in private browsing: (high risk of web page breakage in private browsing mode)” through https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Filter-lists-from-around-the-web#external-filter-lists-of-interest. SpyBlock uses filters merged from EasyList, and EasyList is already enabled by default in uBO. However, duplicated filters will be discarded so you can subscribe to anything you want without being concerned about CPU usage. uBlock Origin is an excellent tool to block popunders, currently the only of its kind.
