Even though I&apos;m a recent Mac convert, I still keep up with all of the trends in the PC world. One of the magazines that I pick up religiously is MaximumPC which always has great articles on the PC world. Another cool thing about the magazine is that they always include a CD full of sweet software.

When I got this month&apos;s issue, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the CD was chock full of Firefox add-ons! Check out the pics:

It included many of the add-ons currently on the <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/recommended">AMO Recommended list</a> such as <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5579">PicLens (now called Cooliris)</a> & <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2464">FoxyProxy</a> as well as some other cool add-ons such as <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6367">Panic</a> & <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1593">GSpace</a>.

In addition, they included a bunch of Firefox themes (e.g. <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6070">Aero Fox</a> & <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1542">PimpZilla</a>) for good measure.

I&apos;ve been getting this magazine for quite some time and haven&apos;t seen them publish add-ons before so this is a pretty good indication of how important add-ons are to making the browser your own custom experience. 

Now, MaximumPC is really a bit of a techie magazine but I do hope that this helps to introduce Mozilla add-ons to the more mainstream user. When I chat with non-techie folks about Firefox, the majority still don&apos;t know what add-ons are. This is something that I&apos;m working to fix and so I&apos;d like to hear your suggestions for spreading the word about add-ons to the mainstream crowd that has absolutely no interest in Firebug, TamperData or ColorZilla.

So I ask, how can I better reach the average Firefox user to educate them about Mozilla&apos;s add-on ecosystem?
