    I love two addons: Forecastfox weather & Tab Scope. I really can’t live without them since I’ve found them here. It’s so cool to change the weather icons/add unlimited locations you’ve visited and switch between them in seconds in the first add and see what’s loading on the next page in the last one addon (surely, I always use it to enlarge the page’s thumbnails without opening them). Gosh! That’s also an amazing feature to change your themes or interface as easy as you breathe or surf the Web with the help on different themes. I love all the addons I utilize. They are very helpful and simple to use.

    Hello,

    I could not stress enough how much I love Firebug. It could come as a surprise for some that I have chosen Firebug amongst all fun Add-ons there are, but despite Firefox being my Web Browser of choice for day to day browsing, it is also one of my favourite Tools at work.

    I’m a Web Developer and I could not see myself doing my job without it. Firebug makes my life so much easier and my work so much enjoyable.

    So that’s it – Firebug it is :)

    Go on Firefox Team… I’m a big fan!!! :)

  19. Luis Machado

    To listen to a lot of serbian radio stations takes me to a very old time, many years ago and helps me inproving my low-rated knowledge of the serbian language. A real nice application for those who are living abroad but are homesick or just trying to improve their language abilities in serbian!

    Zotero has saved my work life.
    But I like all my addons. If I had to choose my most prefered ones would be adblock plus, hide find bar, tab mix plus, url suffix (it would be great the last two ones could be integrated into firefox).

    Keep up the good work and thanks for making firefox, it makes internet better

  30. darryl

    My favorite ‘Add-On’ is the ‘Side Bar.’ One icon lists all the downloaded ‘extensions.’ Above this
    list are tabs for ‘themes’ and ‘plug-ins.’
    Within the feature there is a button to check all extensions for latest [ updates ] version of
    extensions.
    The ‘Side Bar’ can also be hidden until needed, by moving the cursor /mouse to the left edge of
    screen. Or the user can lock the ‘Side Bar’ to view constantly.

  31. MwS

    AnonymousX, Do Not Track, Aniweather, Im translator, FlashAid, Ubuntu firefox integration, FT deep dark 3.2 theme…

  32. Garbis

    Video Download Helper is the best for me, I’m always on to downloading high quality videos and mp3s, given that youtube has almost everything i need, this add-on makes the downloading and saving so much easier!!

  33. MG Orejudos

    My favorite add-on among all of the add-ons I installed on my browser was the Cheevos , it is because it makes me entertained even though their is no musics and videos or else. It is like a point card that everytime I access my favorite websites( including mozilla.org for more add-ons) I can get points and achievements. That’s why I love Cheevos.

    More power MOZILLA!!!

  34. Ellen Geiss

    Unfortunately I am a newbie to computers but I love the music on lastfm. You can get the type of music you personally enjoy from any era which is a joy without comment or censor. I happen to enjoy the music from Broadway especially the era of the big musicals from the 1930′s to the 1960′s.

  35. Cassandra
