Firefox Add-Ons


Today you are going to explore FireFox!!! What is Firefox? Just a search engine?  No! There is more to Firefox than just using it as "just a searching tool".

I will introduce you to Firefox Add-ons and personas! Then you will explore on your own.

A Firefox add-on that I have installed is Google Shortcuts.  You can see to the right how quickly I can get to the Google products.

Choose from thousands of extra features and styles for Firefox.
Customize your Firefox  to enhance your online shopping, music, bookmarking and much more.

There are several Firefox extension categories - see photo on right.
