Collections are <strong>customizable groups of related add-ons that anyone can create and share<\/strong> on the Mozilla website.

From here you can browse collections by popularity, and also check Editor&#8217;s picks and latest additions to the site. You can also subscribe to any collections you like, and create your own. Creating a personal collection is as easy as filling in a form with a name, description and a choice of a few selected add-ons. Plus, they can be made public or restricted to only people you invite.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-images.sftcdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2009\/06\/collection2.png\" alt=\"Collections: a new way to share Firefox add-ons\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But the best way to keep track of your favorite collections and manage the ones created by you is probably installing the <a href=\"https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/en-US\/firefox\/pages\/collector\">Collector add-on<\/a>.
