Add-on overload - Installing 200 Firefox extensions at once

200 Firefox add-onsIf nothing else, we humans are good at pushing the limits of common sense just to see what will happen. Installing a ridiculous number of add-ons (and taking pictures, of course) has long been a tradition for Internet Explorer, uh, "enthusiasts," and now the Firefox fans are carrying the torch: Inspired by a 100-extension test back in February, the fine folks at CyberNotes doubled their pleasure and installed 200 add-ons in Firefox 2.
