Since thousands of add-ons are available on the AMO website, it can be a bit hard to find the most useful ones. Ah, but you see, Mozilla has an add-ons board that analyzes the newest add-ons and recommends the best ones to the millions of Firefox users around the world.

What add-on did Mozilla pick for the month of August? What add-on got to be “pick of the month”? The answer is below.

August Featured Add-ons – iMacros for Firefox and User Agent Switcher

iMacros for Firefox is an add-on that lets you record and replay repetitious work. Tasks like filling out forms and regularly visiting certain websites can be automated with the iMacros add-on. Any task that can be performed with the Firefox web browser can be automated with the iMacros add-on. You can get the add-on from the AMO website here.

User Agent Switcher is an add-on that adds a menu and a toolbar button to let you switch the user agent of a browser. You can get the add-on from the AMO website here.

August Pick of the Month – Screengrab

With Screengrab, the “Pick of the Month” add-on for August, you can save entire webpages as images. From the right click context menu you can select to capture a website – the entire page, just a window, just a selection, or just a particular frame. The capture can be copied to the clipboard, saved locally as an image, or uploaded to the web. You can get this add-on from the AMO website here.
