Any tips for add ons that make web surfing better?

AdBlock and RemoveItPermanently for starters. here's rottentomatoes.com on IE
and here's the same site in Firefox
notice how not only are the ads gone, but that thick blue bar at the top and that stupid facebook box in the middle. AdBlock takes care of the ads with online filter subscriptions, and RIP will let you clean up any part of a website that you don't like. when they're combined it's like ads were never even part of a website's original design
another must for Firefox is NoScript. it will block Java and other scripting plugins on all sites except for those that you trust, makes browsing infinitely safer
