Not all Firefox add-ons get the news coverage that they deserve. Some are mentioned on every tech site in the world while others are known to only a handful of Firefox users that dug deep into the Firefox add-on directory to find some hidden gems. And it’s those hidden gems that I want to write about today.
I’m not saying that the following Firefox add-ons are totally unknown and never appeared on a website before but if someone mentioned them it got lost in all the noise that the popular Firefox extension are causing.
I’m also hoping that you will comment in this thread and maybe mention one of the lesser known add-ons for Firefox that you are using. I’m here to learn as much as you are here to read this article.
