18 Best Firefox Extensions For Gmail

Posted on 17. Apr, 2009 by Ferman in Tools 4

Gmail is Google’s popular web based e-mail client. Gmail became popular because of its friendly user interface and the 2 gb space it provided in the beginning, which to date is extended to 7.3 gb. It already has lots of features but Firefox users can further customize Gmail by using different add-ons. You can divide these add-ons into two categories one are those which can change appearance of Gmail while second category add functionality to Gmail.
