in Internet & Networking Channel,
Since I am using Firefox, I find the Plugins feature incredibely usefull and the main reason to keep this browser. I don't know who's using what, but here is my favorite list:
Coral ie Tab, no choice some Web sites carrying only iexplorer
Adblock plus, incredibely efficient to prevent adds without killing all popups
Downloadhelper, with great features like transfering video from Youtube and many more
Fireshot, a Web Page Edit & Save in any format capture utility
Surfcanyon, a plugin that add additional search results to Google using other engines
Flagfox, in order to track the website origin
Download statusbar, useful to manage your downloads
United States English dictionary, usefull for a french guy like me ;-)
And the inevitable Google Toolbar...
So, what are you using?
Facebook

Adblock and Download statusbar are definitely my favorites. I don't use other ones so much: ReadItLater is nice, but it's filled with too many items; 1-click weather is nice to know if it's cold outside...

The absolute must have for any developer is Firebug - hands down my favourite plugin.
Also its worth checking out tabberwocky. You can open tabs next to the active one, rather than at the end of the stack. Perfect you work with lots of open tabs.

Like Pierre, I use Download statusbar to view and manage downloads from a tidy statusbar without the download window getting in the way of your web browsing. I use also adlock to block advertising and CoolIris to see images. the last is FireFTP, it is a free FTP client easy to use.

Web developer tool bar, you just can't avoid it if you are a web developer or integrator.
In the same category, Zend debug toolbar, when you develop with Zend studio, a must to have

Firebug - A must-have for web developing.
Ad-Block Plus to get rid of all those annoying adverts.
Download Statusbar.
Greasemonkey - Custom Scripting
ReloadEvery - Reloads pages automatically
TinEye - Reverse Image Search
Personal Menu - Tidies up the menu and saves screen space
Omnibar - Makes the address bar behave like google chrome's
