There are hundreds of firefox extensions on the web. Which ones do you use? Here is my attempt to collect the 50 best and popular firefox extensions which make your browsing, downloading and navigation in Firefox as easy as possible, while harnessing the full power and features of Firefox. Extensions are small add-ons that add new functionality to Firefox. The list has been classified on the basis of some broad categories.

Adding some of the awesome extensions available out there, the browser just gets better and better. And look under the hood! There are a bunch of hidden (and some not-so-secret) tips and tricks available that will crank Firefox up and pimp your browser. Make it faster, cooler, more efficient.

If there’s a search you use a lot, Smart Keywords is an awesome tool that not many people use. Right-click on the search box, select 'Add a Keyword for this search', give the keyword a name and an easy-to-type and easy-to-remember shortcut name (let’s say actor) and save it. Now, when you want to do an actor search, go to Firefox’s address bar, type 'actor' and the name of the actor and press return. Instant search! You can do this with any search box.
