The extension is currently a work in progress and only supports a limited subset of the Chrome API.<\/p>\n<h3>Techie Buzz Verdict<\/h3>\n<p>The concept is definitely interesting, but its practical utility is limited at this point of time. As of now, for almost every Chrome add-on there is a Firefox extension. On top of that, installing new Chrome add-ons isn&#8217;t absolutely straightforward. Also, none of the extensions I tried worked perfectly. Nevertheless, I will not be too harsh on it, since it is still in experimental stage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Techie Buzz Verdict:<\/strong> 1.5\/5 (Average)<\/p>\n<p><strong>[ <a href=\"https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/en-US\/firefox\/addon\/98440\" title=\"Download Google chrome extensions manager for Firefox\">Download Google chrome extensions manager<\/a> ]<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>(via <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/fearphage\/status\/11012695790\" title=\"Firefox can now run Google Chrome extensions\">@fearphage<\/a>)<\/p>\n<div style=\"font-size:12px\">\n<strong>Share:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/firefox\/google-chrome-extensions-in-firefox.html#commentrespond\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Comment on This Post<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/home?source=techiebuzz&#038;status=Install%20Google%20Chrome%20Extensions%20in%20Firefox%20with%20Google%20Chrome%20Extensions%20Manager%20http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FaBTj8W%20via%20@techiebuzzer\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Tweet This<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/firefox\/google-chrome-extensions-in-firefox.html\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Share on Facebook<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/post?url=http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/firefox\/google-chrome-extensions-in-firefox.html&#038;title=Install%20Google%20Chrome%20Extensions%20in%20Firefox%20with%20Google%20Chrome%20Extensions%20Manager\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Save to Delicious<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.stumbleupon.com\/submit?url=http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/firefox\/google-chrome-extensions-in-firefox.html\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Stumble This<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/digg.com\/submit?phase=2&#038;url=http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/firefox\/google-chrome-extensions-in-firefox.html&#038;title=Install%20Google%20Chrome%20Extensions%20in%20Firefox%20with%20Google%20Chrome%20Extensions%20Manager\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Digg This<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.reddit.com\/submit?url=http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/firefox\/google-chrome-extensions-in-firefox.html&#038;title=Install%20Google%20Chrome%20Extensions%20in%20Firefox%20with%20Google%20Chrome%20Extensions%20Manager\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Reddit This<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div><strong style=\"font-size:11px;\">TAGS:<\/strong> <span style=\"text-transform:uppercase;font-size:11px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tag\/firefox\" rel=\"tag\">Firefox<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tag\/firefox-extensions\" rel=\"tag\">Firefox Extensions<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tag\/google-chrome\" rel=\"tag\">Google Chrome<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tag\/internet-browsers\" rel=\"tag\">Internet Browsers<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<\/small><\/div>\n<div>\n<br \/>\n<font size=\"4\"><strong>Announcement:<\/strong> Missing Mobile News in the Main RSS Feed?
