Mozilla Firefox Add-on Collector – Top Firefox Add-On Solutions for Everything

In searching for fresh Firefox Add-ons and Extensions, I stumbled across a treasure chest of Firefox Add-ons. Until today, I had no idea there was a Mozilla Firefox Add-on Collector section. Firefox Collections provides an extensive listing of Add-ons, grouped into themes. You can browse through Editor’s Picks, Popular or even share your own collection. They also have a Add-On Collector to add to your Firefox Browser. Though advertised as collections, you can install  the Add-ons individually, so you can pick and choose those you want from each collection. Today, I wanted to cover a few of my favorite Firefox Collections.
