9.5.1 Extensions
Mozilla Firefox is a multifunctional application, which means that you can download and install
add-ons, known as extensions. For example, add a new download manager and mouse gestures. This
has the advantage that Firefox itself stays small and unbloated.
To add an extension, click Tools > Extensions. In the bottom-right corner, click Get More Extensions
to open the Mozilla extensions update Web page where you can choose from a variety of available
extensions. Click the extension to install then click the install link to download and install it. When
you restart Firefox, the new extension is functional. You can also look at the various extensions at
addons.mozilla.org
(http://addons.mozilla.org/).

9.5.2 Changing Themes
If you do not like the standard look and feel of Firefox, install a new theme. Themes do not change
the functionality, only the appearance of the browser. When installing a theme, Firefox asks for
confirmation first. Allow the installation or cancel it. After a successful installation, you can enable
the new theme.
1 Click Tools > Themes.
