You don't need extensions to do anything. Only two of them add functionality, two of them modify existing functionality slightly. One of them stops some annoying Javascript messageboxes from coming up (because no-right-click scripts don't actually block right click in Firefox). Of all seven, there are only four (EMButtons, Download Manager Tweak, Blank Last, and Mouse Gestures) that I would want to ever appear in the official builds. None of them would I say need to be in the official builds, though. One of them - ChatZilla - I am very glad isn't.

EDIT: If you mean plugins as in Flash Player, Acrobat Reader, Quicktime, et al, you need them in every other browser I know of aswell, it's just IE installs software on request without asking or telling you.

Well neither of those scripts does what I want. I want to block everything which doesn't originate from the server the site is on (ads!) but make for example Ironworks and other forums an exception to this. edit: those extensions only allow blocking all or none or load images individually.

But what you can do is to block all images from non-originating server in your preferences, and when you need to see external images on Forums and such, you can tell it to show all images on that page.
