It seems that add-ons for the Trisquel web browser are still not
available.

http://trisquel.info/en/browser

In case there is no work in progress in this area,
I suggest to add the ones collected by the IceCat project.
They are all under free licenses:

The list is at http://trisquel.info/en/wiki/add-ons

Is there a reason for having a separate list instead of improving the
IceCat's one?

The list of addons is here: http://trisquel.info/es/browser . When you click on "get addons" the browser should take you there.

Anyone can set new add-ons on that list, I'll add a direct link in the
page to make it more obvious. The spanish translation of the page has
some items already.

A lot of links in that page point to addons.mozilla.org making it
almost pointless, and also it is not very updated.

It would be better to make our own list -we can use IceCat's as a
reference- since our add-ons page allows us to store screenshots,
descriptions, translations, and direct links to the add-on files
-resulting on a click-and-install behaviour-.

So, start hacking on it! :)

PS: there is also a add-on list in the wiki here:

Maintaining our own list of add-ons has proved to be a cumbersome burden and unnecessary work. That thing is never getting done. I think we should just use IceCat's.

Since the Web Browser on Trisquel is not IceCat itself and it is redirecting
to the Trisquel site is kind of necessary

The same way that IceCat is generating its addon list is the same asked
here, no reason why it should not be done.
Besides there are some points on Ruben's previos message.

Frankly, I don't see it as a big issue that IceCat's add-ons list redirects to the main Mozilla website. The point is to offer a convenient and adequately comprehensive list of free software add-ons, not to erect fences around the users as if they are mindless automatons. Nearly everybody using Trisquel already respects his or her own freedoms. We waste far too much of our time and effort by adopting such an all-or-nothing policy toward what counts as "recommending non-free software".

Our browser isn't IceCat, but I suppose we could simply HTML copy-paste their list.
