One of the largest reasons I use Mozilla Firefox is its huge universe of extensions, scripts, and other add-ons which can make it behave the way you want it to. I've customized my Firefox installation pretty extensively.
This list is current as of Firefox 3.5.
Extensions
Customization
Web development
Google's Page Speed. I previously used Yahoo's YSlow, but switched because Page Speed is open-source. Functionality is mostly equivalent, and I honestly don't use the extension enough to notice the differences.
Other stuff
Privacy
BetterPrivacy removes Flash LSOs and other tracking cookies
UI and Behavior
KDE integration add-ons
FirefoxNotify, which replaces PlasmaNotify
xclear adds a clear button to URL and search fields, ala Qt/KDE text fields
Mozilla/Mozilla Labs
Firefox Sync (formerly Mozilla Weave)
