Install Experimental Firefox add-ons without a Mozilla account
In the past, Mozilla has made it difficult to accidentally install an experimental add-on by locking them away behind a registration wall. In order to install them, you had to register for an account with Mozilla and sign in before downloading and installing these plugins. But now anyone can install them without signing up for an account. All you have to do is check a box that says you're sure you want to install an experimental add-on. If the box is left unchecked, the green "Add to Firefox" button will remain white and unclickable.
If you want to give an experimental plugin a try, you might want to check out Automatic Save Folder, which specifiy different folders on your computer that you want to use for saving different file types. For instance, every time you click a download link for an EXE file it could be saved to one folder, while DOC and TXT files would go to another.

"One of the things that makes Firefox special is the fact that you can install thousands of plugins that add features to the web browser or change its behavior."
Can anyone explain why this works for Firefox, but not very much on the other browsers?

I saw several posts on Mozilla add-ons but I couldn't comment there. Speaking about exprimental add-ons I want to mention another one which will probably come out of this list soon - moztrans by interlecta. What is cool about this one is that like all add-ons it does not show up somewhere and does not bother you all the time insisting on updates and stuff. Once you install it it is just there and remember it whwnever you want. So, this moztrans translates webpages directly on the page you are looking at so you don't have to open another page and copy and paste all the time.
And most important - it is easy to install!
