Here's my full list of extensions:
AdBlock- removes ads from websites. It doesn't just hide them, it removes them so you don't see big blank squares all over the place
AdBlock Filterset.G Updater- Keeps AdBlock up to date with the great FilterSet.G definitions.
FasterFox- Performance tweaks to boost speed. (web pages load about twice as fast as usual since I installed it)
GreaseMonkey- Apply scripts to web pages after you load them. No it isn't malicious; it does things like add a download link to YouTube, or replace the Newgrounds text ads with a download link for the Flash video you're watching
Tab Mix Plus: Lots of tab tweaks, plus a session manager so you can open all the pages you left off on when you closed Firefox
FoxyTunes- Adds a media player control set to the bottom of the Firefox window (the status bar where is says stuff like "Transferring data from benheck.com..."). It has rpeconfigured control sets for most common media players, plus I think you can set your own.
Bork Bork Bork! - Makes web pages look like Swedish Chef wrote them all with speech-recognition programs. (You can also "Bork Copy", copy bork-ified text to the clipboard.) Aren't I silly?
CustomizeGoogle - Tons and tons of Google tweaks. Right now I have it set to remove ads, and provide links directly to images in the Image Search feature (it removes that middleman page, but gives a small link to it).
BackgroundImageSaver - Save the back ground image on web pages. This is useful for YTMND.
Now, for your questions...
"how do you change the homepage" - Select "Options" under the Tools menu. It should be in there. The cool thing is that if you have more than one tab opened, you can have it open all those pages as your home page "set". (I have mine set to the Firefox Google default page, the forums here, and a blank.)
"s there a button so you can open your e-mai[l]" - You can add a bookmark ("favorite" for you IE switchers) to the bookmarks toolbar.
"is ther an ebay search engine add on" - There shgould be an ebay search already. Up in the top right corner, if you click and hold on the Google [G], you'll get a selection of search engines. eBay should be a t the bottom. You can also <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/search-engines.php">add mroe search engines to that</a>. If it's not there, check this out: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/quick/ebay.html
"is this legal https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2390/ like is it legal to download home movies not copied shows or movies" - Yes, if you download home videos. However, that extension will just bring you to another website. I use http://keepvid.com/ for getting videos off YouTube and other sites. It works well and isn't full of crapware or ads.

i had adblock, fasterfox, and some accu-weather thing installed.
adblock is very good, you should get it.
fasterfox appeared to have some kind of memory leak, and it made firefox preform quite poorly. i got rid of it.
the weather thing is handy, i always know what tempterature it is (in kelvins )

Please change your avatar, lifeisbetterwithketchup. It says that the site doesn't allow hotlinking, so a huge picture comes up explaining that....
(people using firefox can, of course, just block the images from that site for now, as I have done )

Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!
