We all know that Firefox is the in house browser of choice these days but Pandia has recently compiled a list of the top five extensions which will change the way you search the web.
11% of the UK now use Firefox as their main browser, with IE retaining 85.5% of users. UK usage is low compared to the rest of Europe where take up is higher, especially in Germany where 26.8% of web requests use the browser. The popularity of the open source browser varies worldwide, but increases in European usage have been steady in the past few years.
The extensions hailed by Pandia include HyperWords, a funky little tool that allows you to highlight text in your browser, click enter and see a list of web search location options for the highlighted text. Googlepedia offers the appropraiet Wikipedia article alongside your Google results every time you search, while Stumbleupon allows you to browse, review and share websites with friends.
Take a look at the Pandia article for more information and extensions.

I find firefox really useful in account management just for the quick checks that you can carry out. It can stop you from having to ask technical services small questions if you have the tools set up and know how to use them.
