Chris Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 ExtensionsExtensions are small programs (or plug-ins) that add new functionality to Firefox. It can be anything from a toolbar button to a completely new feature, such as mouse gestures. The great thing about extensions is that they allow Firefox to stay small and unbloated. Anyone who requires more features can download the appropriate extension. You can even create your own extensions. Information about that will available in the future.http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/Try the Adblock extension....ThemesWith themes, you can change the look and feel in Firefox. A theme can simply change the colors of Firefox or it can change every piece of the browser appearance. You can have several themes installed and change appearance with just a few clicks.http://texturizer.net/firefox/themes/...Speed up Mozilla/Firebird!http://www.windowsforum.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=10895 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurdy Posted July 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Cheers D4\/!d - good one.Well I'm very impressed by it so far, I've tried other browsers in the past but always gone back to IE but this time I'm going to install FF on the other two PCs - the kids will soon get used to it.

D4\/!d Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 You're welcome Hurdy.And the kids WILL get used to it, and all the other changes you'll make to the PC. Just ensure you plan the change with all of you (The Mrs included) agreeing to a timetable, avoiding important homework/exam time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
