I wonder if anyones put a copy of firefox together with all these installed rather than having to go through them individually?

Well, sort of. FireCat v1.3 has 60+ extensions in one file, so you only have to download one file, but AFAIK you have to install them one at a time.

Honestly, there is no need to install all of them as many have similar purposes.

For example, TorButton is great if you only use Tor, but if you use other proxies like SPIKEProxy or Paros Proxy, you're better off using the SwitchProxy or FoxyProxy extensions and manually adding an entry for Tor. So in this simple case, there are three extensions but you really only need one of them.

Yes I can see what your saying. Fair point. I'll rephrase my question lol... I wonder if anyone has put a copy together with the best selection of these extensions. Not that i'm too lazy to sort it out myself or anything

I'm curious how this is specifically an "Ethical" hacking platform?

The word was used in the name of the article linked in the first post. Of course, any of these extensions could be used for the wrong reasons.
