The
Firefox web browser of
Mozilla is used by millions of users @ s, as it is
faster, secure and customizable than its main competitor, Internet
Explorer from Microsoft
, the default browser on all Windows operating systems. Firefox is also a free program and works with
other operating systems like Mac OS X and Linux.
precisely customizable feature comes from the multitude of accessories (in English, add-ons
), extensions, themes and plugins
that provide, free of charge, Mozilla and other developers, and allow
expand and improve both the functionality and the look of Firefox as the tastes and needs of each user @ .
To access these options should only enter
page Firefox . To begin to discover extensions, we can use the search bar
, located at the top of the page, which allows us to include one or more tags (keywords) and find within all add-ons or any defined category. Thanks to Advanced
, we can refine the search by versions, platforms, update date, etc..
can also use the menu
categories, divided into themes such as Top Management
,
Toolbars,
Photos, Music & Videos , etc. or browse the
Popular Tags . In this area, we can find
Dictionaries & Language Packs (to change the language in which Firefox presents)
Search Tools (to include more engines in the Firefox search bar),
People and
Topics (to change the look of Firefox),
Plugins (to see media in Firefox), and
Collections (package of recommended accessories grouped by topic.)
We can see an example of the most popular
collections in the right column of the front page of additions, subscribe to them (ie, mark them as favorites) or create our own collections. In both cases, first, we will be recording @ s
. In the middle column, find the section
Explore Accessories, which presents a sample of extensions
prominent, popular, recent and last updated . Within each category
, find a similar split-ons Featured
recent, most downloaded and highest rated .
Finally, once we found the extension that may be of interest, by clicking on it, get to a page with
description of it,
gallery (screenshots of the plugin and its functions),
reviews user @ s that have proven
downloads number, date of last update
, developer
profile, etc. If we think we can be useful, we'll just click on Add to Firefox
to install. This is usually a quick and simple.
Once installed the extension, we can set up your office from the Tools section
the Firefox browser menu, selecting Accessories
, then
Extensions , clicking on the name of the extension in question and, finally, on
Options. From here, we can also
Disable or Uninstall
extension and
Check for Updates for it. We do more or less the same with the
Topics and Plugins
.
