My answer is No, I wouldn't pay for something that should be included in the browser itself as a feature, especially when the browser is free to begin with. Everyone form my cable/Internet provider to my cell phone companies are charging me for everything I want to do, and most of those charges should really be standard features. I think the path to riches on creating extensions lies in marketing the features to browser makers (from the companies that actually make money) like Microsoft and Google, so that they can eventually integrate your add-ons into their browsers for a fee, or better yet, buy you out altogether. That's the way to monetize that idea. If you put a price on your extension, chances are that you're also shooting yourself in the foot because your reach will only be to people who would pay. Unless its of course a revolutionary feature that no-one can live without. I'm a web designer and I think Firebug for FF is great, but if it had a price on it, I'd probably never care to know about it because its not "that" essential to me.
