Not too many, and not as many as I do under Windows (mostly because of inertia; life is busy). I'm actually surprised to find that I don't have any at all in FFox at the moment, although I expected at least NoScript. With XMarks going away I'll likely turn to RoboForm, and then AdBlock Plus & Tree-Style Tab round out the core set. I use AdBlock for Chrome (written by my brother :-) and XMarks -> RoboForm + Keep, and I'm still looking for a good NoScript equivalent. My Dad is a fan of some tab grouping-and-storing thing, but I haven't met it.
