Ultimate Collection of Firefox Addons for All Bloggers

With a huge support of addons, firefox can be customized easily to suit one’s needs and usage. Having so many categories at official firefox’s addons page there’s a “Collection” page as well where users make their own collection of addons and share it that may help others as well.

Collections are actually groups of related add-ons assembled for easy sharing and installation. These collections are actually a new way to manage and find favorite add-ons so that users subscribed to that “collection” can see their favorite addon on one page.

Keeping this in mind I decided to create my own collection of addons exclusively for bloggers. When I searched for such addons that might help bloggers in efficient blogging, I came across so many useful addons that I never used myself, so I decided to make a “collection” of those addons and share it to all.

I’m sure Bloggers who are on Firefox would love this!

You can also see this collection on official Firefox addons page here:
