Just the important ones:

BetterPrivacy (LSO Cookie Remover)

Firebug (+ Firecookie)

Hackbar

NoScript

Tree Style Tab

Web Developer Toolbar

All of which have no (satisfactory) Chrome equivalent and thus prevent me from switching ;)

I couldn't live without Tree Style Tabs, which is one of the main reasons I haven't switched to Chrome either.

I considered switching to Lunascape, which is a browser that will let you use webkit rendering and firefox plugins, but it's Windows only :(

I have just installed Tree Style Tabs. My impressions so far is that it's way cleaner and more organized than the traditional tab style.

I'm experimenting with a 100% switch to Chrome this week but I'm having Tree Style Tab withdrawls too.

I'm in exactly the same situation - I literally cannot stand to use a browser without that extension anymore, especially on a widescreen computer. I've tried to move over to Chrome, but the lack of that extension is the single blocking issue for me.

Step one when I get a new computer is to install Firefox; step two is Tree Style Tabs. Anyone that hasn't tried it is really missing out...

Just for your information, I noticed a few weeks ago that there is a beta version of Firebug for Chrome. Instead of Web Developer I use "Web Developer" in Chrome, which is quite similar by features, but is not shown as a toolbar as in Firefox.
