10 Best New Firefox Add-Ons

Here's a great list of new Firefox Add-Ons from Cnet's Download Blog:

This past year felt like a rebuilding year for Firefox add-ons, with two new frameworks implemented to help guide the future of extensions. Personas gave Firefox on-the-fly theme-switching, and users can expect it to be part of the stable version of Firefox 3.6 when that gets released. Jetpack takes a similarly-minded approach to feature add-ons, allowing programmers to create feature-rich add-ons from little more than HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Expect JetPack to eventually be part of Firefox by default.

Backup Your Online Accounts Free

Backupify is a new web app that allows you to backup all of your online accounts for free. Online accounts probably contain more sensitive information these days than do our computers themselves, so it is a good idea to back them up. You only have to set up the backup service once and then it automatically backs up your accounts. It is totally secure and private and the service is free until the end of January.

Locate your lost computer: FireFound

FireFound is a Firefox add-on that notifies a central server with your computer's location every time it changes. The only way to discover your computer's location is to use your password, as it is otherwise encrypted. It can also clear all of your personal data at your request including all of your passwords for online accounts, banking info, etc so if anyone attempts to use your computer, they cannot access this data.

This is also an open source tool so you can run your own FireFound server.
