14.5 Customizing Firefox
Firefox can be customized extensively. You can install extensions, change themes, and
add smart keywords for your online searches.
14.5.1 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
