Leechblock looks like an AWESOME idea. I could use a good calculator too. Thanks for the list!

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...

FYI, Firecal is for older versions of Firefox.

If you'd like to sample the Intelligent Web, and find information without searching, MashLogic is a smart alternative.

This extension automatically adds intelligent contextual links to "interesting" terms on the page and shows you information (no ads!) in a gentle overlay that you can dismiss with a whisk of your mouse. Wikipedia definitions, dictionary, news, and much more, right at your fingertips.

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!

What about Lazarus, a Firefox addon that saves any text typed in? One of my favorites...

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.

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.
