Top 10 firefox add-ons

  1. Below is a listing of our top 10 favorite Firefox add-ons or extensions. Part of what makes Mozilla Firefox so great is all the available add-ons and installing these add-ons can help improve your abilities and the overall feel of Firefox. Each of these add-ons can be found through the Mozilla Firefox add-ons page or through the links provided below.
StumbleUpon
Great add-on that works with StumbleUpon that allows you to browse only the best of what the Internet has to offer.

  • AnyColor
Another fantastic add-on that allows you to change the color and appearance of Firefox to any color of your choice.

  • Download Statusbar
Often one of the first add-ons we install after installing Firefox for the first time. This add-on displays the download status on the status bar instead of opening a new download window.

  •  TinyURL Generator
Another great add-on that allows you to click a small icon in the bottom corner of the Firefox window to quickly generate a small URL for the page you're looking at. This is fantastic if you find yourself sharing long URL links often.

  • WOT
Fantastic add-on that helps keep your web surfing secure. The add-on will display a warning screen across a web page if it's deemed insecure. A security warning could be caused when the web page is known to participate in phishing, has Trojans, scams, etc.

  • Omnibar
Another great add-on that turns your URL bar into a Google search as well as the address bar. This helps save your browser real-estate space by removing the redundant Google Search box.

  • AutoCopy
Another great add-on that allows you to quickly copy and paste text. A must for any blogger who finds themselves frequently copying and pasting text. highlighting the text will immediately copy that text, without having to right-click and select copy or using a keyboard shortcut.

  • Adblock Plus
Another add-on that's a must for users who're sick of sites that plaster advertising on their pages. This great add-on allows you to add and remove advertisements from a web page so you don't have to look at them.
 
  • Read It Later
Another great add-on that helps eliminate the dozens of tabs some users keep open because they haven't finished or started reading that tab.
 
  • Time Tracker
Finally, this little gem allows you to keep track of how much time you're spending in Firefox by displaying a little clock in the right portion of the status bar.
