The 7-inch screen means that screen real-estate is at a premium so I have listed below some Firefox add-ons that I recommend.

Get rid of those pesky adverts:

Adblock Plus – https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865
Adblock Updater – https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1136

Shrink the menus:

Compact Menus 2 – https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4550

Hide all the menus and toolbars:

Fullerscreen – https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4650

Speed up that fox:

Fasterfox – https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1269

Change the text size at the click of a button:

QuickZoom – https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2540

Were this a personal machine I would probably add some others, but for pupil use in the classroom, this is my list so far.

Do you have any others you would add to the list? Please let me know in the comments.

Full Screen mode (F11):

Normal mode:
