Here is a good list of modifications you can use for Mozilla Firefox.
AdBlock Plus:

FaceCloak:
Users of social networking sites, such as Facebook or MySpace, need to trust a site to properly deal with their personal information. Unfortunately, this trust is not always justified. FaceCloak is a Firefox extension that replaces your personal information with fake information before sending it to a social networking site. (Download)
Priv.ly:
Your content should remain your content. At least at Privly, we think so. However, services like Facebook, Google, Twitter and the like, don’t seem to agree. Every time you accept their Terms of Service agreements, you give them the right to do whatever they wish with your data. More often than not, that involves selling your privacy. (Download) (also for Chome)
There are lots more add-ons and plugins that may not be too popular but still work and can do a whole lot to protect you, just search and you may find.
