They are just "plugins" to add features. There are many places to get FF extensions (I posted some in the archives), just do a search for "Firefox extensions" there, and at any search engine with and without quotes and you'll find dozens of sites. Which you install depends on what you want.
The easiest way to install them is to download them in IE, then drag the extensions one by one to an open FF window and they will install. You have to close FF after each install. Trying to install them from within FF is a pain and never worked for me. To make a long story short, FF like SP2 on XP, has this INCREDIBLY ANNOYING BS about not letting you install anything from within the browser without being prompted to death and having to do it over and over again until it installs. FF does this with .xpi extension files, which are the FF extensions. You have to save them anyway, so it's easier to d'load them from IE to a FF extension folder and save them there, then install them from there. As what's to what's happening when they are installed; well, I guess the same thing that happens when you install anything. It gets "installed". :-) The browser is "reconfigured" with new plugins. -Clint Happy New Year to all & God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) http://ComputersCustomBuilt.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harold B." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello again, Clint mentioned that Firefox, when first installed, is really half-baked and needs some additions, I think called "Extensions". Could someone explain what these extensions are, and in some priority, which extensions I should install. It would also help if you can explain how they are installed and what's happening when they are installed. On pages where I see "Extensions" the installation process doesn't look like what happens when most programs are installed --- Harold ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
