The 10 dumbest Firefox add-ons ever
Firefox is one of the towering achievements of the open-source movement, accounting for almost a quarter of all Web site visits just five years after its launch. One of the reasons for its enormous popularity is that it can be easily customised with a range of add-ons -- from download accelerators to funky themes, they make your browsing experience faster, slicker or just better looking. The official Mozilla Firefox add-ons site now lists over 10,000 extensions for download.
But along with the really useful stuff, there's also plenty of total dross in there. Some have sprung up to mediate the crassness of the Web -- ruefully saving you from the idiocy out there -- while others are just plain stupid. Either way, we thought it was time to check out the dumbest add-ons on offer.

PimpZilla
Are you the son of a bishop, over 50 and bang into all things hip hop? If so, this is the Big Dawg pimpin' browser skin you've laid in bed at night in the vicarage dreaming of. As the makers of PimpZilla say, there's no better way to express your wealth and importance in such a garish and extravagant way. That's big, baby.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world.
