Firefox Extentions

Jump to: navigation, search

Firefox, a popular open-source web browser, allows users to add additional functionally to their browsing experience through the use of community developed add-ons called extensions.

Some popular extensions such as Greasemonkey, allow you to add functionality to a web-site (attach notes to a particular web-site site, change content) all without actually changing anything at the web-site. Other extensions allow you to use different search engines and RSS feeds, display weather information on your desktop, and use other Web 2.0 sites for blogging and social uses.

  1. Download and install the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
  2. Start Firefox and go to the add-ons site at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/. Browse around and see all of the options that are available to customize Firefox for you.
  3. To help with your Flickr homework, try-out this extension called Fotofox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3945
  4. E-mail Jeremy when you are finished.
