People all over the world have developed thousands of extensions for Firefox. There are extensions that allow you to block advertisements, download videos from websites, integrate more closely with websites like Facebook or Twitter, and add features you see in other browsers.

In the search bar located on top-right corner, type 'drag' and press the enter key This brings up all the add ons that have the word drag in the title. Since we are looking for an add on that will help us to navigate in a grab and drag style similar to adobe acrobat, on the result that say 'grab and drag' click on install. The purpose of this button is to download the add on onto your computer and configure it for Mozilla Firefox As with other softwares, some of these addons may have user agreements dealing with how you can use them. Read the user agreement which pops up. On the user agreement click accept and install. The add on is now downloaded, but it will not be usable until you restart Mozilla Firefox. click on the ‘restart now’ link That's it! Your new add on is now installed.
