One thing you didn't mention about FEBE is that it supports syncing to Box.net. This makes it even more ideal for students, especially if you use it with Firefox Portable.
Similarly, Zotero can be set up to sync to any WebDav server. With this option enabled, you can attach just about any kind of file to a Zotero note (just drag-n-drop), and retrieve it later from any Web-connected computer. Also, you can subscribe to a feed of your Zotero Library items (or individual feeds of subfolders). Pop the feed into an RSS reader like Google Reader or use as a Live Bookmark.

Reminderfox is pretty good if you otherwise wouldn't have a calendar app on your machine. Doesn't help you much if you do have one, though.

is useful if you use different machines at school & at home. Or if you are travelling without a laptop...
If Firefox is world's number two Internet browser, then which is the first one? Just don't tell me it's Internet Explorer.. Be social!

And when your are not studying pass your time by downloading youtube videos via this firefox addon.. :)
Ohh LeechBlock is going to be a lifesaver for me. When you have ADHD and all of these fun online distractions (oh look- i'm on one now) it takes about triple the time it should to get something done. especially having my stumbleupon toolbar right there...
