Well...lots especially the add-ons you can use to automate tasks and indeed make browsing faster (Webpage loading faster).
Here's a screen shot of my add-ons.

Adblock Plus gets rid of adds...but use it wisely be fair to web site owners (such as IIS) and view their ads.
Download statusbar is a download manager that uses anti virus plug-ins to auto scan downloads.
Australian English dictionary...self explanatory..check for Australian English spelling when typing. You can add many different dictionaries.
Flash block replaces internet "falsh" applications with a "clicklable box"...so you can view the "flash application" if you want.
Torrentbar...bittorrent search engine.....errrr if your into that.
Netusage item shows my current ADSL internet usage sp I don't exceed my plan.

There are lots more addons that make the internet do things your way!:
