Top 5 add ons for your Mozilla Firefox browser

Introduction

Firefox is a free and open source web browser. Firefox is also known as the Hackers browser.
It is praised for its privacy, add ons and speed. It was created by mozilla community which was actually created by Netscape.
Firefox was created in 2002 and was named "Phoenix",But got released in 2004 and became highly successful.

I also suggest everyone to use firefox because of its security features,vast range of add-ons and many more reasons.

What are add ons? 

Add-ons are implemented using by the means of XUL and XPCOM,this helps to directly access and manipulate much of the browser's internal functionality. Add ons are generally created by thired-party developers.
