Great list!

I like virtualbox for vm.

For safer/better browsing I like the following Firefox plugins:

NoScript: Turn off javascript by default and then allow the pages you deem safe
http://noscript.net/

Ghostery: watches out for web based tracking tools http://www.ghostery.com/

DownThemAll: Want to download all the mp3's, pdf's, images on a page? easy!

And finally the HOSTS file hack for any operating system. Blocks ads and pests without actually installing any software at all.
