Download PC Pro’s Firefox Essentials

Firefox logoMozilla has just launched a new service called Add-On Collections, that allows you to create hand-picked compendiums of Firefox extensions. Read our news story for the full lowdown on Add-on Collections.

We’ve been playing with the Create a Collection tool and it really is gobsmackingly well designed. Once registered, you merely give your collection a name, a brief description and pick your favourite Add-ons. The Add-ons are, well, added simply by typing the name into the search box and selecting from the drop-down menu that appears as you type.

Once you’ve selected all your Add-ons, you can twiddle with advanced features, such as creating a bespoke URL for your collection and uploading an image.

And so, we present the PC Pro Firefox Essentials – ten brilliant add-ons that have been hand-picked by the PC Pro editorial team.

If you think we’ve missed a brilliant add-on, let us know on comments below and we’ll consider them for future inclusion. Subscribers to our Collection will be alerted whenever we add a new extension.

Alternatively, if you create any fantastic Collections of your own, provide a link in comments so that others can follow.

    I already use WebDev, the rest weren’t really interestng, apart from X-Marks… That could be useful. Thanks

    I will agree with Big_D nothing special in there. Surely nothing that would deserve PCPro branding.

    I suppose it would be a bit cheeky to expect you to include adblock, but the PC Pro website has some of the most annoying adds -just too much flash.

    I agree with the above comment. I simply wouldn’t ever visit the PC Pro site if it wasn’t for AdBlock Plus, and I’m a long term subscriber, why should I see all the ads?

    I don’t use AdBlock Plus any more. I use Flashblock instead. Lets the “not so annoying” ads through, but if the site wants to annoy their users with Flash ads, they only have themselves to blame if they get blocked…

    NoScript, Pdf Download, Shareoholic, Restart firefox, Delicious Bookmarks, All-in-one Sidebar, McAfee SiteAdviser, Gmail Manager, are 9 bookmarks I always use. Not sure about the customise google. Doesn’t excluding google ads go against their terms of use?
