Firefox Add-ons

One benefit the Firefox browser offers is the number of extensions developers have created. Add-ons extend Firefox, letting you personalize your browsing experience.

The number well exceeds a thousand. These extensions enhance the browser by adding features that weren't provided in the program. The best known of these extensions is maintained by the Mozilla foundation.

Many add-ons provide new interface objects such as buttons and toolbars and different customization options.
