To review or manage your passwords, open the Password Manager by clicking Edit >
Preferences > Security > Show Passwords.... The Password Manager opens with a list
of sites and their corresponding usernames. By default, the passwords are not dis-
played—click on Show Passwords to display them. Delete single or all entries from
the list using Remove or Remove All, respectively.
If you are also using the GNOME Keyring or the KDE Wallet to store other passwords,
SUSE Linux Enterprise lets you manage these together with the Firefox password
manager via CASA (Common Authentication Service Adapter). Learn how to use and
configure CASA in the GNOME User Guide or the KDE User Guide.
12.6 Customizing Firefox
Firefox can be customized extensively. You can install extensions, change themes, and
add smart keywords for your online searches.
12.6.1 Extensions
Extensions let you personalize Firefox to exactly fit your needs. With the help of exten-
sions you can change Firefox's look and feel, enhance existing functionality (such as
the download manager or tabbed browsing) or add functions such as a Web log editor,
Bit Torrent support or even a music player. Certain extensions also assist Web developers
while others increase security by dynamically blocking active contents. More than 1000
extensions are available for Firefox. With the add-ons manager you cannot only install
new extensions, but also disable, enable, or delete them. It also finds updates to installed
extensions.
To add an extension, start the add-ons manager with Tools > Add-ons. Click on the
Extensions tab and then on Get Extensions in the bottom-right corner to open the Firefox
extensions Web page, where you can browse extensions by category. You may also
visit
directly. To install an extension, click on
http://addons.mozilla.org/
the Install Now link on the page describing the extension. In order to activate the exten-
sion, Firefox needs to be restarted.
