firefox The 20 Best Firefox Plugins

By now everyone out there knows who , what and where Mozilla’s Firefox is. Although I have to admit that recently one of my own friends didn’t know or had even heard of Firefox before. For those of you who need a quick 4-1-1 here it is

Firefox is a highly customizable – intuitive web-browser. It is essentially the Alpha-Male’s choice to browse the inter-web with. I would go as far as saying I bet Chuck Norris uses it as well.

Today I’m going to share with you a list I have personally picked out some of the very best Firefox addons to be very helpful and you will all soon become dependent on features you have been missing out on.

Nice list. Adblock is a great plugin but I think my most used plugins BY FAR are: Firefm (last.fm player) and Web Search Pro (simply awesome time saver for making quick searches to different websites).
