One of things that sets Firefox apart from other browsers is its fully customisable interface for optimised and personalised surfing. The staggering amount of extensions available can, however, be slightly daunting. Numerous attempts have been made to make a “definitive” top ten list, so rather than joining the many that have tried, we thought we’d be a little lazier and just give you our top three. Of course, well provide you with the appropriate links so you can make your own mind up. So, in no particular order….

ForcastFox – Get weekly international weather forecasts straight in your browser. Located in your toolbar or status bar, you’ll more detailed forecasts by simply hovering your mouse over the weather icons.

Adblock – Despite Firefox’s own ample ad-blocker, this handy extension makes sure you are in control when faced with annoying and obtrusive ads.

IE View – This extension does exactly what it says on the tin; simply right click and select “view this page in IE” and hey presto! Particularly handy for developers and websites still living in the dark ages.
