Firefox addins

Richard McManus of the Read/WriteWeb blog has published an article on [Firefox browser add-ins](http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/firefox_add-ons_all_you_need_to_know.php) which includes the top ten list, links to reviews of the “officially” recommended add-ins and some discussion of what will be coming in Firefox 3. Comments give lists and links to other add-ins.
