My HD died a couple weeks ago and thanks to hectic work schedule and real life I havent had a chance to set up my computer to my liking. However I have the day off so I am sitting here at my desk, coffee in hand and I am fine tuning my settings, specifically my bookmarks on Firefox.
My request is two fold:
a) Bookmark/websites that you would recommend.
b) firefox extension you would recommend
FYI here is an incomplete bodhi bookmark broken down by folders

I'm a fan of the little weather forecast extension for firefox. I think it's called "Forecastfox" or something like that.

I'm using Firefox 2.03alpha here at work, and I just noticed that it has a built in spell checker for form entries. I don't know if this was around on older firefoxes as an extension, but expect the quality of my spelling to go up by at least 1%.
Quality of postings probably will not be altered.

Seriously. IMDB is the reason that I don't get an aneurism whenever I can't remember the name of some random actor/actress in a movie. I'd lose a ton of sleep thinking obsessively about it otherwise.

take a look at Google Labs
The toolbar alone includes a bookmark tab which, when logged in allows you to have a bookmark menu like you normally do but which is saved online connected to your Google account instead of on your pc as well as tons of other things like a translation tool tip, a form spell checker, and an "autolink" button that will turn any text on a page that looks like a link into a clickable link.
Also Google notebook is an irreplaceable tool and you may want to look into a personalized Google homepage. There are now literally hundreds of modules you can add to it from news sources to "penny arcade" updates right on your Google page.
As for other pages - most of the best things have been mentioned but some useful and fun things are:
http://www.snopes.com/
http://www.imdb.com/ (it can't be said enough)
http://www.deviantart.com/
http://www.stripgenerator.com/
