Mozilla Firefox has a Herculean following; I am sure, no would differ. Once you get your hands on something like that it's only human to feel wanting for more. No wonder, everyone is all game to accessorize their firefox.
In the last feature, we glanced at some of the extensions for the same. Today's yet another mix-bag of extensions combining your feedback, suggestions, and our research.
Let's kick-start the useful line-up.
del.icio.us Bookmarks
This extension integrates your browser with del.icio.us (link), the leading social bookmarking service on the Web. It does this by replacing the default bookmarking functionality in Firefox with a new experience that offers advantages such as:
Search and browse your bookmarks
Access your bookmarks from any computer at any time
Keep your bookmarks organized with tags
Share your bookmarks with friends or anyone on the Web
Import your existing Firefox bookmarks
I don't think I need to say more about this extension. Just keep it in mind that if you are a user of Google Browser Sync or Foxmarks, del.icio.us Bookmarks currently conflict with these extensions and will therefore prompt you to disable them during installation. Overall, it is a great extension to add to your browser.
