Default Does the multi-browser use model successfully negate the need forbrowser add-ons?

I use Firefox and Thunderbird. One of the most valuable addons is
Clippings. You can set it up with many different commonly used strings,
like home address, business address, email addresses, telephone numbers,
etc. I have even used it to add the content for the body of an email
where I am sending the same email to several people and want to
personalize each one. The addon works in both FF and TB, and uses the
same database, so all of the strings in are the same in both applications.

I have several note programs that I use in Firefox.

and finally Google Translate, which will translate the highlighted text.

Having multiple browser for each website would hinder my use on addons
which is to have a easily access, common source of information on all sites.
