Mozila Firefox is my favorite browser because of its great rich set of Add-ons. These made it very easy to browse, share, improve productivity, bookmark, etc. Even i tried other browser, but still other browsers are not up to the mark compared to Firefox Addons. In this race, Google Chrome is doing pretty good now a days by adding rich set of extensions(addons). I tried to use the Google chrome and configured my mostly used firefox addons, but the result is not as equivalent with Firefox.

I am creating this post to share addons which am using in firefox. I hope some of you find this would be great information and helps, how to use these addons in your daily IT work.
