Just a plain, albeit fantastic cake. But enough about that. This add-on changes the layout of Firefox's add-on manager to make them easier to manage. Check it out!

Chrome IE - Run Internet Explorer from inside Chrome

I almost never use IE directly. I prefer Firefox, and sometimes Google Chrome. However, for some tasks and web sites, IE is the better choice, and for those I like to use IE from within Firefox. (For example, IE allows me to run an installation file without having to save it first.) Now I can do the same thing from within Chrome.

Vertical Tabs (Firefox Add-On) - Extend your browser's vertical reach

There are times in all of our lives when we need a bit more vertical reach. This also applies to our web browser. If you use Firefox, you're in luck with this cool add-on that does two things: It groups your open tabs, and moves them from the top of the window to the sidebar. There, now you can see everything! (Only works with Firefox 4, though.)
