Various extensions have been known to "fix" or "restore" various 
things that Firefox should do or used to do, although I cannot 
address the purity of the manner by which they do so.

I wonder, is there an A-list of must-have extensions for Firefox? 
Because "the internet is for porn," and porn doesn't work on 
text-only browsers...

How about a blacklist of extensions to avoid at all costs?
