With about 64 add-ons submitted to the Extend Firefox 3.5 competition and judging underway and done with, Mozilla couldn’t be any happier. It is also well noted that 40 of these add-ons where brand new.
The winners were announced as follows:
Under the best new add-ons we had Chris Finke with FireFound basically an add-on to help find lost or stolen laptops and phones. It uses the Geolocation API. If your device is stolen you can simply log into a server to see where it was last powered on.
Then there is MuliFox by Jeferson Hultmann. This is kind of an open ID as a simple Firefox extension to manage all your loggin in to several websites. Voyage; the name of another new extension developed by Hsiao-Ting Yu lets you visually explore your browsing history in a fun way. You can also integrate it with your Twitter account and see the relationship between your tweets and your browsing.
The six Runners up in this category were Boomtago, Tab Flick, History Tree, WikiSubs, Customize your web and QuickFox Notes.
Now as far as updated add-ons go, the grand prize winners were as follows:
We start off with Smart Find by Antonio Gomez. This extension enhances the default search feature such that if you’re challenged when it comes to typing out the right spelling of what you are looking for it will figure it out for you.
Book Burro is next on the list. Developed by Jesse Andrews, Book Burro helps you find the best deals and searches through libraries too. Speed Dial by Josep Del Rio keeps presets for all your favorite web pages and keeps them at your finger tips. Kind of like what Google’s chrome does.
Another winning extension is a game called Destroy the Web by Jose Enrique Bolanos. This turns any webpage into a shoot-em-up video game with sound and high score for every web page. Just remember to get some work done while at it.
Now last but certainly not least, my personal favorite. Grocery List Generator by Captain Caveman. Okay, that name and groceries don’t get together in the same sentence. With this extension you can manage your database of recipes and never forget an essential ingredient.
