Top 5 Gaming Extensions for Firefox

There are thousands of add-ons available for the Firefox web browser, many of which greatly enhance your daily activities while surfing the web. However, sometimes you just want to kick back and have some fun! Ranging from remakes of retro classics to tough brain teasers, these gaming extensions will help you do just that.

1. PONG! Multiplayer
PONG! Multiplayer, a variant of the “world’s first video game”, is a Firefox add-on which lets you play this golden oldie right in your browser window. You can play both 1 or 2 player modes as well as online multiplayer games with people all around the world, by using your keyboard and/or mouse to control your paddle.

2. Mines
Mines is a Firefox browser add-on based on the classic Minesweeper, the game made popular as a free inclusion with the Windows operating system. Nowadays there are variations of Minesweeper available for several platforms including Linux and Macintosh. The Mines add-on brings yet another variation of the game, with some very unique features of its own, right to your Firefox browser window.

3. Cards
Cards is a browser add-on for Firefox which lets you choose from over three dozen single-player card games to play right in your browser window. Included are some of the all-time favorites, like FreeCell and Solitaire, as well as some lesser known titles such as Penguin and Union Square.

4. Pacman
A derivative of the 1980’s mega-classic arcade game, the Pacman add-on for Firefox takes you back in the day by letting you chomp on pellets and eat fruit right in your browser window. Using your keyboard to navigate the familiar ghost-ridden maze, you can ascend through the increasingly difficult boards just like in the original version.

5. Froggr
Froggr is a Firefox add-on which lets you play a clone of the classic arcade game Frogger right in your browser window. Carefully leap through heavy traffic, jump across the backs of floating turtles, and try not to get splattered in an effort to get your frog home safely.
