Firefox Addons to go with Vimperator [closed]

Being a ViM fanatic, I recently discovered and began using the Vimperator addon for Mozilla Firefox. I've really enjoyed using it so far, and there is even a list in the Vimperator wiki for some addons that work well with Vimperator. I'm curious as to what other addons that veteran Vimperator users would recommend? Does anyone have any good favorites that blend in well with Vimperator?

"TreeStyleTab or Tab-Kit, which both move your tabs from the top to the left side and display them in a tree-like structure.

You don't need extensions like It's All Text! Vimperator already provides mapping (when textarea is focused) which launches gvim."

I'd like to add that BarTab is really handy if you are addicted to tabs. It stops all of your tabs from loading at startup and can unload tabs from memory while firefox is running.

"Actually so much is possible with Javascript, you could mimic many addon functionality (without the need for a UI) with Vimperator!

But here are few Firefox addons that I find usefull:

Cycle Collector Analyzer, Preferences Monitor, Open in Browser, TableTools2, keyconfig, NoScript and Private Tab
also try using the Tile Tabs addon with something like:

mappings.addUserMap(
[modes.NORMAL], [""""], ""tile tabs vertically"",
function() {tileTabs.menuActions('new-2vert',null);}
);

as a student, 24 key mappings are invaluable for handeling bibliography with:
Zotero, Zotero Better Bib(La)Tex, Zutilo Utility for Zotero
(just re-write Will Shank's mappings for Zotero and Zutilo with Pentadactyl)

I would like to have advanced control over MIME types though... (like change download action per-url and per-filetype, ref. Automatic Save Folder"

NoScript integration plugin is a must.
