Download YouTube Videos as MP4
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Flash and Video Download (which worked on more sites) stopped working. It had a button in the bottom add-on bar. The button ceased to appear.
This add-on adds a button under the video which is so integrated with the YouTube site that you'd think it were part of the site (indeed, it is so integrated you may miss the button).
It also gives the option to download flash (and not just mp4). You have the choice.
Google Scholar Search
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Adds Google Scholar to the search bar like it says on the packet.
It would be nice if it had a different coloured icon to differentiate it from google search. I recommend a black and white version of the standard google icon rather than the more arcane google scholar icon used by google itself but either would do.
always ".com" - Google.com (in English)

It is crazy that Google ignores both browser language settings, and their own search preferences to relocate ex-pat searchers to a site AND LANGUAGE that they can not understand.
This add-on does the business and has saved me endless frustration. It effects quickdrag too because quickdrag uses the search bar default.
The only problem was that I did not realise I had installed the addon. I clicked the link. Nothing seemed to happen. I clicked the link again and then it complained that a search engine of the same name had already been installed.
You have to change the search engine default from the icon to the left of the search box to the one that says "com" in tiny letters at the bottom.
QuickDrag
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I used a browser called Maxthon Classic till recently but I needed to upgrade and came to Mozilla. One great thing about Maxthon classic is its mouse gestures which provide the ability to search text, and open links in a new tab, just by dragging that text or link a little and dropping it. This addon provides that functionality to Mozilla and more. In Maxthon classic dragging an image opened it in a new Tab. In this addon it saves the image automatically which is useful.
It is also faster (probably because Mozilla is faster). I tried other gestures, such as all in one gestures, but the latter required that I first select text and then do a seperate gesture. I prefer the drag effect. It feels like I am dragging the text into an abyss where google awaits.
You have to turn on the search function in the small addon settings screen.
It may do more than I report above but even if not, I am very satisfied.
To create your own collections, you must have a Mozilla Add-ons account.
