Batch install add-ons?

How can I install multiple addons in one go? It is a bit primitive to have to do it one at a time. I guess the ideal would be a batch install feature ("button") from the collections in https://addons.mozilla.org/

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page. There’s a lot of good stuff here. The Add-on you want o look at is FEBE. FEBE will save your add-ons to a backup directory. When or if you need to put them back, say after Reseting Firefox, All you have to do is open FF, open a file browser to the backup folder, then select what add-on you want to put back by moving / copying from the file browser to FF.

Create your own Collection at the Add-ons website.

Thanx, but I just can't see how I can add even my own collections "in batch" i.e without having to click "install" for each separate addon in a/my collection. I'm hoping there's a way to click something named "Intall all" or some such.

Or maybe I misunderstand something?

Thank you!

Thank you for all the kind replies!!! CCK2 looks extremely interesting (and the creator has a lot of other interesting stuff too!). It might work, but it looks like FEBE is more direct. I consider the question solved for now. Thank you all again!
