Do you regularly install add-ons in the Firefox browser? If you have installed many add-ons and you use most of them, this means you are a Firefox Add-ons Power User.
Add-ons are installed to perform various tasks such as search and security. They are an essential item in web browsing. Certain tools are required through which the add-on management can be done automatically rather than manually.
5 Useful Add-ons for Firefox users
Restartless Restart
You have to start your browser again whenever an extension is installed. You do not have to face this restarting trouble in Chrome. There are certain add-ons available for Firefox using which you do not need to restart your browser. You must install Restartless Restart.
It is a 12KB add-on that is very simple to use. A restart feature is added in your right-click menu. To start Seamonkey or Firefox again, a CTRL/CMD+Alt+R hotkey is added. There is no need to search for the start icon of Firefox if you are using this add-on.
