There are now a huge number of add-ons available for Mozilla's Firefox, and depending on your needs, some may be more useful than others. The right Add-ons can greatly enhance your browsing experience, but it can be a chore trying to find ones that work for you, or combination of add-ons that work for you.

Mozilla have now introduced a new way for Firefox users to get add-ons most suited to their needs via ¨Fashion Your Firefox¨. Packs have been assembled containing recommended plug-ins, all with individual names and based on themes depending on personal preference. For example, there's ¨Social Butterfly¨ for those who just can't stay away from social networking sites, ¨Shutterbug¨ for anyone viewing or sharing photos and videos online and ¨News Junkie¨ for keeping up-to-date with the latest news and weather. There are a number of other packs available too; all aimed a specific type of user, so there is something for everyone.

With around five thousand add-ons currently available and with Firefox add-on downloads recently topping one billion; this is probably the easiest way to get a selection of add-ons that best suit your needs.
