Not a new one but very good none the less.
Fission combines address bar and progress bar, making the progress bar more visible.

Not new and probably not "absolutely can't do without" except for those who want to be able to use a single toolbar by minimizing space used by Menu items and maximize use of remaining space on the Menu Toolbar to move the Navigation toolbar items from the Navigation Toolbar to the Menu Toolbar and add icons to access common Fx options/settings. (Fx allows you to hide all toolbars except the Menu Toolbar.)
Compact Menu
Modified Versions of Compact Menu
* Compact Menu's Shark icon replaced with mozilla M
* Compact Menu's Shark icon replaced with glass Firefox
Stop-or-Reload Button
Bookmarks Menu Button
MR Tech Local Install
In addition to the many enhancements to Fx, also provides quite a few toolbar items i.e., Options, Clear Private Data, Extension & Theme Managers, Plug-ins, about:config, etc.

The OP asked for New Extensions.
Adblock has been around for many moons as well as NoScript.
Edit* Less common extensions are the prize.  |

Another useful extension to add to JTM1051 's list is Add Bookmark Here. Not new, but I find it very useful when using the Bookmarks Menu Button. |

You need a hammock to help bring peace into your life.
Just a couple of hours worth of hammock time a day will change your life.

"New" is kind of subjective. Something can be "new" to you that's been around forever, simply because you never heard about it.
A better way would be to start by listing what extensions you already have.

All in One gestures- a must have/can't do without! Mouse gestures make browsing alot faster imo. Every browser I use has got to have them.

In case anyone is not aware of it, there is a Chromedit extension that is compatible with Firefox 1.5 and beyond. It is called Chromedit Plus.
JSView (fairly recent) allows one to see source code of stylesheets and javascript files easily. |

Has anyone use the relatively new McAfee SiteAdvisor extension for Firefox?
Main reason I would consider using is when rating unknown sites in search results where a malicious site could appear as a legit site.
CNET's review gave it 5-Star rating, but more important the "User Reviews" have been good.
Note: Mainly read CNET's reviews for the "User Reviews" -- overall I've found CNET's reviews to be mostly informative but not authoritative.
---------------
OT/Rant:
For example CNET's Best Firefox plug-ins for work is about Fx Extensions not Fx Plug-ins.
Sent an email to Mr. Rafe Needleman that what he's calling "plug-ins" are extensions -- Fx has "Plug-ins" and they are not extensions.
Mr. Needleman's reply: 
You say potato...
Anyway, point taken. I think most people consider any add-in a plug-in,
so I'm not going to go back and revise this column, but I will be more
mindful of the terminology in the future.
Thanks for writing
-Rafe
I've used Mozilla Suite long before there was a Fx and through the years of reading various Mozilla/Fx articles, forums, etc. first time I've seen anyone used the term "plug-ins" for extensions. Grant that "add-in" or "plug-in could be used as a general definition/description of an extension -- but (IMHO) when writing an article/review one should use an item's proper name not it's definition/description. Especially with Fx articles/reviews to avoid confusion with novice Fx users since Fx has "Plug-ins" and they are not extensions, and vice versa. |
