The vary in category from getting updates on weather to finding a websites original location etc. Read on for some rich web surfing experience.
1-Click YouTube Video Download. This add-on does exactly what its name says, it downloads the YouTube video that you are viewing with a single click in FLV, 3GP modes and saves it to the desired location on PC. The best part is its simplicity and ease of use. Upon installation a small button will appear on the left bottom window of the YouTube video screen, all one has to do is click it and Presto! Try it out, it is available here oh and watch the screenshot below.
Simply Click the Red Download button
FlagFox. The little add-on sits in your address bar and displays the location of the current website server in the shape of a country flag. It also provides access to detailed location and webserver information. This thing works by accessing the IP index contained within the extension.Click the Flag and it will display info like map of the location, ISP, local time etc through a GeoTool. Get it from here.

Weather Watcher Live. I would rather call it my personal Weather Station instead of the name assigned to it. Add it and configure it to view detailed weather info of the intended area in multiple formats like Celsius, Fahrenheit etc. The add-on displays a three day forecast with three icons on the desired area in one’s browser. A single click on the tiny globe will open up the infra red satellite weather picture of the whole area, whereas a mouse over will show the scene in a small window. Can be downloaded from this location.
