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 4.0.
Extensions

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.

BetterPrivacy: Removes Flash LSOs and other tracking cookies

Link Target Display: Display target of links (usually displayed in status bar) in a hovering tooltip at the bottom of window (ala Chrome)
KDE integration add-ons
xclear adds a clear button to URL and search fields, ala Qt/KDE text fields
