I use the following, among the ones already mentioned:
- screengrab; comes in handy to make presentations
- Rankchecker; from SEObook; quick and dirty rank checker, but I think the info will also be send to Aaron’s database (at least that’s what I would do), so watch out how you use it
- Httpfox; check the http header calls
- Greasmonkey; with the following scripts:
*GWT External Links++
*Flickr photo Rank
*Script updater
*Count Stumbleupon likes
*SU Review Permalinks
*StumbleUpon Quick Tag
*StumbleUpon Tag toplist
*eBay auction enhancer
*Google account multi-login

Can you tell I like StumbleUpon

Its a cool thing to have the user-agent switcher installed on your beloved Firefox.

well in that case I don’t think about it in a way that you really need them, but more in a way; ease of use. You don’t need those extra clicks to find out if certain scripts are running, if links are nofollowed, etc.

necessary : no?
make things easy: yes!

@martijn greasemonkey is okay, but what scripts then? I didn’t need a whole lot of ‘em actually.

I really can’t live without Foxmarks (bookmarks synchronizer). I love it and it works perfectly. Sure, it isn’t a SEO plugin at all, but it’s the first plugin I ever install

And further? You’re right. you can live without the whole bunch of plugins that make our lives as SEO much easier. What I do now is disable all the plugins that I don’t use really often and just enabled it when I need it. That saves a lot of loading time too
