A quick trawl through <a href="http://addons.mozilla.org/" rel="nofollow">http://addons.mozilla.org/</a> threw up these:<p><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9931" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9931</a> <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/11077" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/11077</a> <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9144" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9144</a><p>I’ve no idea about their respective quality as I don’t speak Chinese, sorry.
