Really I end up just using Firebug. I haven't needed extensions for much else. I don't usually conform to "pixel perfect" design translations or anything of that nature and I try to avoid working in a ton of JavaScript.

Firebug is good for finding out why element X isn't properly displaying the styles (usually because something more specific is set in another sheet) or to find out what javascript-added elements are being added to the page so I can manipulate those however I may need.

Firebug + MeasureIt - essential for pixel perfect design and using a ton of javascript ;)

Oh... I forgot to add YSlow. lol I use this a LOT less frequently than firebug so I kind of forgot it! lol

Basically, use YSlow to remind yourself of the client-side optimizations you could be making. Now, if only I could get my employers to grant me time to CONFORM to it! lol :P

JSONView is great for working with json requests. Even though firebug now displays json trees, I still prefer JSONView's formatting by a wide margin.
