NoScript and AdblockPlus, for sure... You'll also probably want to disable all backroung update checks in Firefox so it doesn't secretly check for and/or download new extensions and themes. Your ISP (mobile phone carrier in this case) may have a web proxy that compresses html and images to make them smaller. Another trick is to use the Google xhtml search to get reformatted "mobile" versions of web pages which will be very lightweight: http://www.google.com/xhtml Good luck!
