One of the main strengths of Firefox is the power of add-ons. There are thousands to choose from, and it’s easy to overload your browser with redundant add-ons. Why not pick the best of the best? These are the top ten add-ons to pick up for the best browsing experience.

 

Web Developer

The web developer toolbar is essential for anyone interested in web design. It lets you disassemble a website live and see what makes it tick. You can view and edit CSS files, view the page source and more.

 

Down Them All!

If you’ve ever come across an image gallery and wished you had an easy way to save all the pictures, Down Them All is for you. With one click you can queue up a list of every image on a page and download them all.

 

Youtube MP3

Youtube MP3 is a fast and easy way to download the audio from any Youtube video. Install it and you’ll find a download button above every video. Simply click it to scrape the audio for yourself.

Any graphic designer will love Colorzilla. It’s an advanced eyedropper tool that lets you pick out the exact hex value of any color on your screen. It even has a gradient generator and more.
