Do you remember Jetpack?
It is the Mozilla Labs project that makes the add-on building process easier, mixing elements of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Mozilla has released an awesome Jetpack Gallery, which serves as a community for Jetpack developers and add-on users.

You get instant access to recently closed tabs, personalized suggested sites and even shortcuts to your desktop applications.
The most recent release also comes with 7 [...]
Sage was once one of the more popular RSS feed reading add-ons for Firefox. However, time went by, years went on and these days it is not making much news. However, if you still need a lightweight feed reader, there is now Sage-Too. This is a continuation of the original project to keep it up to date with today’s Firefox browser versions.
Some of the features include:
Reads RSS (2.0, 1.0, 0.9x) and Atom feeds
Feed Discovery
Integrates with Firefox’s bookmark [...]

I was really excited by the idea of Prism back when it was first released, but little has been done with the product until now. Last week, Mozilla announced the launch of Prism 1.0 beta and a new site to promote it. So, now that some time has gone by, and we have all had time to play with it – time to cover the best and the worst about this most recent release.
What I Like About Prism 1.0 [...]

Foxmarks, one of my favorite Firefox add-on suggestions for bookmark syncing and backup, is changing names today. Foxmarks is becoming Xmarks. (Waits for the “X marks the spot jokes) The new Xmarks service looks to be more geared towards sharing links, ala Stumble Upon and Digg.
Why make the move? Well, one would guess that sharing links might be a more profitable business model, more so than bookmark syncing alone. Via the Xmarks blog, here are some FAQs for [...]
Are you running short on room for your multiple tabs? TooManyTabs is an add-on for Firefox that will give you the ability to store up to 50 tabs in multiple extra rows with a simple click.
In turn, with this extra organization, you have better visualization and prioritizing for the pages you are navigating through. Here are a few more details from the TooManyTabs developer:
Instead of allowing idle tabs to waste your PC’s memory, you can now put your tabs [...]
You can file this one in the folder of annoying things you find on the Web. Not to slip into Andy Rooney here, but don’t you hate it when you find a super long link you’d like to visit but it is not hyperlinked? You have to copy, paste, open a new tab and then navigate to it. It should be a simpler task to tackle and thankfully the Copy and Go extension for Firefox makes it an easy thing [...]
I love shopping with Amazon. Now before you say how close-minded I am, let me remind you they allow a person to purchase a JL421 Badonkadonk Land Cruiser Tank when they so desire. If you too feel the love for Amazon and the goods they provide, try out GoogAzon.
This is an experimental add-on for Firefox that will give you the top ten results in Amazon for every Google search you do. See something you like? Click the Amazon link [...]
