Download PC Pro’s Firefox Essentials

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

Mozilla 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.
