Did you know that over one hundred and fifty million Firefox add-ons are in use at least once every single day? There’s an add-on for just about everything; from RSS feed readers to website screenshot takers — it’s all there.
So with the amount of add-ons in use, it should be no surprise that the 2 billionth download of a Firefox add-on has taken place as of recent, nearly 20 months after the first billion add-ons were downloaded in November of 2008. If you thought that rate was slow, however, think again; it took over 3 and a half years for the first billion add-ons to be downloaded (note: download figures are cumulative).
To celebrate the occasion, Mozilla’s pieced together a collection of the “best” of the add-ons available for the web browser. Among them; Adblock Plus, WeatherBug, and StumbleUpon. The full list can be found here.
