Mike's Firefox page
| One of the many advantages of the Firefox web browser is the ability to write 'extensions' that add features or capability to the browser. Listed below are extensions that I've used on Firefox. For more information on Firefox, go to the Mozilla.com web site (.org site) |
| Mozilla Extensions [50], Extensions Mirror and MozDev Extension Room are sites that track releases of new extensions for Firefox and other Mozilla products such as Thunderbird (e-mail), Mozilla (former Netscape browser, email, etc) and more. |
