Usually the more the extensions you have the
heavier/more-ram/more-startup-time firefox gets (and the last time I
used AdBlock Plus, about 10 months ago, it leaked memory...). Also
it's not useful all over, I think I can do without it if I have
noscript installed, (now what would you say if noscript is installed
by default?).
IMHO, I think no extra extensions should be installed by default, the
user should make a choice of which ones he wants (and installing any
extensions by default without the "user's consent" isn't ideal too, if
it's going to impact the performance of Firefox).
