I would add Easy DragToGo. You can drag a link or URL to have it open up a new tab or highlight a word or phrase and drag it to have it esxecute a search with whatever engine is currently defined in the search box.

For other tablet users out there, here are some that may be useful to you:

GeckoTIP: various tablet enhancements regarding input fields.

Grab and Drag: the name says it all, but the add-on has support for inertia, friction and inverse scrolling.

QuickDrag: the replacement for Superdragandgo, which allows you to just drag links to open in a new tab or a new search tab, or download pictures with a drag.

Other than these, Downthemall is a nice download manager for FF, and thats all that I’ve got on my FF along with Better Gmail2

My extension collection is pretty small these days. Dash Navigation Send2Car, Yahoo Toolbar, Google Gears, Evernote Web Clipper. Yahoo Toolbar is much better at handling bookmarks than Google – of course, I also use Yahoo mail and contacts.

I was using All-in-One Gestures until development stopped, then switched to FireGestures. Great for opening multiple links to background tabs, hopping tabs, jumping up and down pages, and pretty much replacing all my navigation buttons. Absolutely vital when I'm surfing with the pen, but I make heavy use of it on the mouse too.</p> In addition to Grab & Drag, I need a gestures add-on for navigation.
