My first and most important extensions has got to be LastPass (http://goo.gl/qYvQ).
LastPass "is a free online password manager and Form Filler that makes your web browsing easier and more secure." And to be honest with you, it truly does just that! You see while you are browsing the web you come upon say a forum you want to join. So while you are creating the account LastPass can fill in your profile information (supports multiple profiles). Plus a great security addition, LastPass can optionally actually create a secure password for you. It can be a combination of digits, characters, special characters, you name it! (You can specifiy). And since LastPass stores all your passwords, you won't have to remember it!
And the greatest thing about LastPass is that it is multi-platform. And cross-browser! So in my case I have 3 different laptops that I use for different purposes. However I still use most of my same accounts across them. So I have LastPass installed on all of them, so whenever I create a new account in one of them, my other laptops will get the credentials as well. Since they are all stored on the server, with an offline backup of course!
LastPass even supports a USB portable version which you can download, so if you are constantly switching computers or visiting internet cafes you can take your passwords with you, without leaving any trace on the host computer!
Best of all... LastPass is completely FREE!
However there is a premium version which is only $1 a month.
LastPass is a definite must-have extension. And is probably my most used extension on all browsers!
