There are thousands of add-ons availabe for the all time famous Mozilla Firefox. Probably, Firefox has the more number of add-ons than IE and Maxthon combined. It might take ages to review all add-ons one by one. However, note that as you keep installing extensions, the browser uses more RAM and surfing the Web can get slower also. Having said that, there are some great extensions available for Firefox, here are some of them.
1.Fission 1.0:
Fission combines address bar and progress bar (Safari style). This makes the progress bar more visible and allows for a nice visual effect.
