[Ext] Mass Installer [discontinued]
Mass Installer allowed to install a bunch of extensions with one single click.
If you work at many different places or clean your profile frequently, you'll be hunting and installing extensions more often than necessary. Mass Installer tried to simplify this task:
<li>Collect the links to all of your favorite extensions (i.e. to the XPIs) in a text file (one URL per line).
<li>Put this file online or onto some portable media (wherever Firefox can find it).
<li>Point Mass Installer to that file and watch it doing its job.
See this post for how to install several extensions at once without the need for any extension at all.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Mine has wandered off and I'm out looking for it.

Unfortunately, this won't get you the direct links to XPI files, so you'll have to go through the list and add the xpi file names manually
What would be really nice is some heuristics for appending the correct XPI file name automatically and some conventions about XPI naming (or perhaps even ask authors to include a special <link> tag on the home page to the XPI).
Anyone cares to add it to the knowledge base?
