How to Find and Install Firefox Extensions

How to Find and Install Fire fox Extensions As Mozilla Firefox's popularity has increased so has the interest in Firefox extensions or plug ins. Two questions seem to surround this topic. The first is where do I find extensions. The second is how do I download and install browser extensions. We'll answer both items. One benefit the Firefox browser offers is the number of extensions developers have created. The number well exceeds a thousand. These extensions enhance the browser by adding features that weren't provided in the program. Some examples of additional functionality that extensions provide Firefox users: Create a desktop shortcut from a webpage address Open the same web page you're viewing in Internet Explorer Translate highlighted text on a web page into another language Add bookmarks to Del.icio.us Reopen a closed tab Finding Firefox Extensions While the above examples are but a small sampling, you can see more examples in...

Have you been playing around with Firefox and noticed that it is not as fast as other browsers such as IE7 or Opera? There are some simple tweaks that you can enable by changing some of Firefox's advanced settings. There are several ways you can do this:Download an extension for Firefox, such as Fasterfox, to tweak these settings for you. Add a file to your Firefox profile folder called user.js and copy and paste your tweaks into it (Firefox must be closed). Use about:config in the Firefox browser window (see pic below) - I personally like this method the best. Fasterfox Configuration: Download Fasterfox and restart Firefox.

2007-04-07 04:06:00
Mozilla Firefox is probably the only web browsing software application that allows the user of the web browser to create multiple profiles. As the very term suggests, multiple profiles enables the user to differentiate his or her web browsing preferences from the web browsing preferences of all other users. If there are five members in your family and if all five people use Mozilla Firefox to surf the Internet, you can create five different profiles that will have different names, different home pages, different bookmarks, different preferences and different extensions. As you can understand, this facility enables you to personalize your web browsing experience to the maximum extent possible. If you are a sports fanatic and surf the Internet to check out information on various sports and if your father surfs the internet to get the latest news, you can create different profiles so that your bookmarks will not interfere with your father?s web browsing experience.

Merely running the setup of Mozilla Firefox does not mean the work is done
2007-04-07 03:59:00
Although the entire process of downloading and installation of Mozilla Firefox did not take more than fifteen minutes, merely downloading and installing the setup file of Mozilla Firefox does not imply that the installation of Mozilla Firefox is complete. It is essential that you download and install certain other extensions, plug-ins and accessories for the installation of Mozilla Firefox to be completed. I found it essential to install and run plug- ins that enabled me to run JavaScript on my computer. That I could not run JavaScript on my Mozilla Firefox web browsing software application was a major irritant. It obstructed me from taking advantage of the benefits offered by Mozilla Firefox. I opted for the offline installation procedure of JavaScript. The entire file was about six MB in size. However, I decided to download the whole setup file for two primary reasons. Many times, I had opted for the online installation of JavaScript only to discover that my computer hung u...

Is the setup file of Mozilla Firefox only 5 MB in size?
2007-04-07 03:57:00
I have already emphasized the implications of the fact that the setup file of Mozilla Firefox is about five MB as compared to 80 MB of the setup file of Internet Explorer. The fact that the setup file of Mozilla Firefox is smaller than that of Internet Explorer indicates that the software is more compact. However, if the fact is analyzed from another perspective, there always is a possibility that the software may be incomplete.I have received numerous complaints from many users of Mozilla Firefox that certain web pages such as web pages running Java script, Flash animations, real media files, QuickTime media files and other such web pages simply refuses to load due to the fact that the Mozilla Firefox web browser is not configured to display such pages and run the Java scripts or media files. If at all the pages have to be viewed, software updates have to be downloaded from the Internet, the same have to be installed and Mozilla Firefox has to be restarted before proceeding to loa...

One tip that I wish to offer to all users of Mozilla Fire fox is that if you are planning to get Firefox, always prefer downloading the setup file of the web browsing software vacation from the official website rather than obtaining the same from any software application vendor. I can understand your surprise over this advice of mine. All of us know that Mozilla Firefox is a free web browsing software application and it does not make a difference whether the same is downloaded from the Internet or procured from a software vendor. Further, it does not make a difference whether the web browsing software application?s setup file has been downloaded from the official website or has been downloaded from any other web site. Had we been talking about a paid software application, this advice would have a lot of sense. However, why should one worry about the source of the setup file of Mozilla Firefox web browsing software application when we all know that Mozilla Firefox is absolu...

How on earth is Mozilla Firefox a free web browser?
2007-04-07 03:52:00
One of the biggest advantages that Mozilla Firefox offers to all its users that no other web browsing software application provides is the fact that Mozilla Firefox is free software. No one has to pay any money to anybody to download, install and use Mozilla Firefox web browser. The reason for Mozilla Firefox being free is that the web browser is an open source browser. The source code of Mozilla Firefox is based on Mozilla codebase. The source code of Mozilla Firefox is available on the Internet. Hence, any person who wants to use the web browsing software application has to download the source code and he or she has a free and perfectly functional copy of Mozilla Firefox. Since any and every person with access to the Internet can access and download the source code of Mozilla Firefox, any person trying to sell Mozilla Firefox or any person offering downloads of fully functional copies of Mozilla Firefox in return of money is unlikely to succeed.

A perfunctory look at the installation process of Microsoft?s Internet Explorer version 7.0 is sufficient for the end user to realize that Microsoft has not done anything to remove the biggest security flaw in its web browsing software application. The fact that the operating system has to be rebooted during the installation of the web browsing software application clearly indicates that the extent of integration of the web browsing software application with the operating system has not been reduced.For some strange reason, Microsoft?s Internet Explorer simply refuses to let go of its integration with the Windows operating system. On the other hand, the installation process of Mozilla Fire fox version 2.0 does not require even a single restart of the computer.
