Talk back,tab mix plus,phish tank sitechecker,mini t,google toolbar,google web accellerator,fox marks web syncroniser,dr. webantivirus link checker,download helper,download status bar,cooliris preview,cookiesafe,broadband speed test and diagnostic.

Depends on the type of add-ons. FasterFox, for example, is actually designed to speed up the browser.
The kind of add-ons that would slow down the browser are the kind that require constant updating, i.e.
Forecast Fox (updates weather information for you area)
Foxy Tunes (works with your media player, like iTunes)
etc.
But in most cases, it won't slow it down. Again, add-ons like FasterFox and Tab Mix Plus enhance the experience, so it all depends.

On my Firefox I truly have truly some. the substantial one i will't stay with out is the English Spell Checker. I have McAfee web site consultant so i do not get viruses and secret agent ware. AdBlock Plus which eliminates each and each of the flash classified ads telling me I truly have gained a loose cellular/cellular telephone . Then I truly have IE Tab so i will view issues in IE mode. and ultimately I truly have FasterFox and an FTP Uploader.

Yes but the difference is so small that you will never notice it.
