Firefox plug-ins

As you all know, Firefox is the fastest growing browser and the most powerful browser too. The Firefox 2.0 saw 1.5 millions download within 24 hours, whereas firefox 3.0 witnessed massive 8 millions download in 24 hours. It is really amazing when the estimation was 3 millions download.

Now, you would be wondering that why it is so powerful and popular. First look and you say, it looks so normal. There are two cool features in firefox, one is you type in address bar and it will search for substring not for the entire string. Second, it can start searching on page as you start typing. Cool, but you need to enable this option.

The real power of firefox is the plug-ins which makes it outstanding browser from a normal browser. I would be listing here most popular plug-ins for firefox. I will keep updating the list time to time, so keep an eye on this post.
