The battle between browsers is still going strong. What makes a browser better than other browsers? Speed? Using memory or integrated features? The answer is depending on the preferences of individual users, besides, browser extensions make up the majority of those interests. Extensions are increasingly supported on browsers, but that's not always the case.
For a long time, Firefox has been more appreciated than other browsers, including Chrome by a giant extension store. This gap has gradually been shortened in recent years but not completely close. Consider the extensions only available to your favorite Firefox users that will make you want to remove other browsers.
Tree Style Tab
This is my favorite Firefox browser. Perhaps it was an odd confession to consider the simplicity of what Firefox did, but for me (and many others) it was purely a positive change. Once you have used Tree Style Tab, you will never want to reuse regular tabs or tab groups.
As its name suggests, Tree Style Tab changes Firefox's tab functionality into a hierarchical structure. New tabs are created as sub-tabs of the current tabs and these sub-tabs may have smaller tabs, so it creates a tree-style order. Tabs can be rearranged between trees, which means that the sub-tabs are arranged accordingly.
However, the main benefit is the ability to narrow and expand the tab tree. If you normally open over 40 tabs at once, it will look quite messy. With Tree Style Tab, you can collapse unnecessary tab trees and open them later. Firefox will not load tab pages until clicked, which saves you a lot of RAM.

Tab Mix Plus
Managing tabs is a big task in web browsing. If Tree Style Tab is not enough, you can consider Tab Mix Plus to allow you to manage more tabs. Tab Mix Plus features tab duplication, status restoration with crashed tabs, how and when new links are opened, tab locking, mixing open windows and automatic reloading tab and some other features.

Scrapbook
Have you ever tried to save a web page and then encountered an error of 404 missing page because the link was broken? This happens very often and points to major disadvantages with traditional bookmarks: they are relevant when the destination site exists and does not change the topology.
This is where Scrapbook demonstrates its ability. This is a web archive that allows you to download and save entire websites. These archives are accessed and organized in the same way you handle regular Firefox bookmarks. It is extremely useful and really earned the position as one of the best Bookmark extensions for Firefox.

DownThemAll
The integrated download manager in Firefox has many advantages. You can pause, continue to download and save the history of downloaded files. However, if you want a download tool that provides more functionality, trust DownThemAll.
DownThemAll not only handles common download links (for example, ZIP and EXE files) but also allows you to download all images and links on a specific page. Besides, you can filter those images and links to download only the things you need. DownThemAll also has an accelerator that allows users to download four times faster when downloading in parallel.

Video DownloadHelper
Some websites allow you to convert a video link, such as a video from Youtube to a FLV or MP4 video format that you can download to store on your computer. Video DownloadHelper also has the same feature but is more than a hundred times more useful.
This gadget provides an easy way to download each or all of the videos on the current web page you are browsing. On a website like Youtube, just one click to download the video being viewed. This feature also works on other video sites not Youtube. It can also download images and audio.
Just browse the web as usual. On each site, the Video DownloadHelper icon will show you the number of videos that can be downloaded. To download, just choose one of those videos.

LeechBlock
Do you feel helpless when it takes too much time to access websites unreasonably? For example, when you're working, you get a message from a friend or open Facebook to surf, making you lose focus on your work. In all the temporary ways to block websites that waste your time, the LeechBlock extension on Firefox will be extremely helpful. All other browsers have their own site blocking utility, but they all lack this feature.
LeechBlock has two big features:
You can maintain blocked site groups, each with its own criteria at the time of being blocked. Therefore, this utility really brings satisfaction to users.

Firebug
Firebug is one of the most important web development tools online. Although web browsers have the 'Inspect Element' option to edit the markup of a particular website, Firebug is still the stronger choice. You can even install extensions on top of the Firebug extension to add more features to it.
Firebug Lite already exists on other browsers but it lacks some features, which makes Firebug even better. For advanced web developers, small details between the two can significantly impact encryption performance.
