|| Welcome to the '''Spoken Tutorial '''on '''Extensions '''in Mozilla Firefox.

||00:05

||In this tutorial, we will learn about: '''Extensions''' or '''Add-ons''', installing Extensions, recommended Extensions.

||00:14

|| Here we are using '''Firefox 7.0''' on '''Ubuntu 10.04'''.

||00:20

|| Let us open the '''Firefox browser'''.

|| 00:23

||00:27

||00:29

||00:31

||Add new features to the Firefox browser.

||00:35

||Enhance existing features.

||00:37

||Customize the Firefox browser to suit your preferences.

||00:42

|| '''Extensions''' are a part of the Firefox browser  

||00:45

|| and extend the browser’s capabilities.

||00:48

|| For example, you can install '''extensions''' that:  

||00:51

||Block advertisements or pop-ups.  

||00:54

||Compare prices of commodities and even

||00:56

||display weather updates.

||01:00

||01:03

||01:07

||It is similar to the 'grab and drag' function in '''Adobe Acrobat'''.

|| 01:12

|| From the '''Menu bar''', click '''Tools '''and '''Add-ons'''.

|| 01:16

||01:20

|| Alternately, you can also press the '''Ctrl+Shift+A''' keys together to open the '''Add-ons Manager''' tab.

||01:28

||01:34

|| Notice, by default the option '''Get Add-ons''' is selected.

|| 01:39

||01:45

|| So, the right panel defines '''Add-ons''' and tells you how to get started with add-ons.

|| 01:51

|| 01:55

|| Now, we shall install the new '''Add-on'''- '''Grab and Drag'''.

||01:59

|| First, in the '''Search bar''', located on the top-right corner, type: '''Grab and Drag'''. Press '''Enter'''.

|| 02:08

|| The right panel, now lists the add-ons that best match the name we searched for.

|| 02:14

|| Also, notice that all the add-ons that have the word '''drag '''in the title are displayed.

|| 02:20

|| Notice that the first name on the list, '''Grab and Drag''', is an exact match.

|| 02:26

|| 02:28

|| As with most softwares, some add-ons too may have 'end-user license agreements'.

|| 02:35

||02:41

|| 02:46

|| Next, a message that the ''''add-on will be installed

||02:50

||when you restart Mozilla Firefox''''is displayed.

|| 02:54

|| 02:57

|| 03:01

|| 03:05

|| Notice that the '''Grab and Drag '''extension is displayed in the right panel of the '''Extensions '''tab.

|| 03:11

|| Following the previous steps, let’s install another extension '''Scrap Book'''.  

||03:18

|| 03:24

|| Notice that the installation progress bar and the message to close and restart '''Firefox '''are not displayed separately.

||03:33

|| They are displayed in the '''Scrap Book '''bar.

|| 03:36

|| 03:40

||03:44

||03:48

|| In the '''Firefox '''browser, open '''Add-ons Manager'''.

||03:52

|| Install a new add-on from the '''Featured Add-ons''' list, in the '''Get Add-ons '''option.

|| 03:59

|| You manage '''extensions''' that is- add, delete or update them

||04:03

|| using the '''Extensions '''option

||04:06

|| in the '''Add-ons Manager'''.

|| 04:08

||04:13

|| 04:57

|| 05:01

|| Notice that the '''Scrap Book''' '''Options '''dialog box is different from the '''Grab and Drag Preferences '''dialog box.

|| 05:09

|| Therefore, each '''Extension '''has different settings that can be changed.

||05:13

|| If the '''Preferences '''button is not visible for an '''Extension''',

||05:17

|| it implies that there are no preferences for it.

||05:21

|| Click '''Close '''to exit the '''ScrapBook Options '''dialog box.

|| 05:26

||05:31
