| 00:00 | 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 | By default, the yahoo home page opens. |
| 00:27 | What are Extensions or Add-ons? |
| 00:29 | Extensions allow you to: |
| 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 popups. |
| 00:54 | # Compare prices of commodities |
| 00:56 | # And even display weather updates. |
| 01:00 | Let’s install the Grab and Drag extension. |
| 01:03 | Grab and Drag let’s you scroll through web pages in various ways. |
| 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 | The Add-ons Manager tab opens. |
| 01:20 | Alternately, you can also press the CTRL+Shift+A keys together, to open the Add-ons Manager tab. |
| 01:28 | The left panel in Add-ons Manager displays the available options. |
| 01:34 | Notice, by default, the option Get Add-ons is selected. |
| 01:39 | The right panel displays information for the option selected in the left panel. |
| 01:45 | So, the right panel, defines Add-ons and tells you how to get started with add-ons. |
| 01:51 | It even lists some Add-ons you can install. |
| 01:55 | Now, we shall install, the new Add-on: Grab and Drag. |
| 01:59 | First, in the Search bar, located on 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 | Click on Install. |
| 02:28 | As with most software, some add-ons too, may have end-user license agreements. |
| 02:35 | On the End-User License Agreement dialog box, click Accept and Install. |
| 02:41 | The Add-on downloading progress bar appears. |
| 02:46 | Next, a message that the add-on will be installed |
| 02:50 | when you restart Mozilla Firefox is displayed. |
| 02:54 | Click on Restart Now. |
| 02:57 | The Firefox browser closes and reopens. |
| 03:01 | The Add-ons Manager opens in a new tab. |
| 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 | Scrap Book allows you to save and manage Web page collections. |
| 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 | Click Restart Now. |
| 03:40 | Scrap Book is installed in Firefox. |
| 03:44 | Pause this tutorial and do this assignment. |
| 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 | In the Firefox browser, click the Add-ons Manager tab. |
| 04:13 | From the left panel, click Extensions. |
| 04:16 | The right panel, now displays the Extensions that are installed on your computer. |
| 04:22 | To learn more about ScrapBook, select it and click More. |

| 04:40 | Notice, for each Extension you can set preferences, disable or remove it. |
| 04:46 | Select Grab and Drag and click on Preferences. |
| 04:49 | You can set your preferences using this dialog box. |
| 04:53 | Click Cancel to exit the dialog box. |
| 04:57 | Now, select Scrap Book and click Preferences. |
| 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 Scrap Book Options dialog box. |
| 05:26 | As with most software, add-ons too are updated on a regular basis. |
| 05:31 | To update Scrap Book, select it, right-click and click Find Updates. |
| 05:37 | If Updates are found, the Update button is displayed. |
| 05:42 | Click on it to update the add-on. |
| 05:47 | As there are no updates for Scrap Book, the Update button is not displayed. |
| 05:51 | Finally, if you do not want to use an extension click the Disable button. |
| 05:58 | And to remove an extension from your computer, click Remove. |
