The best thing about a Firefox download is it can be improved by adding tiny bits and pieces. It's like customising a car that's already beautiful. You can do that through Add-ons. Here are some of the ways you can use Add-ons to make your viewing experience with Firefox more enjoyable and personalised.

To find Add-ons for your MozillaFirefox download is easy. You can simply go to Google and search for them manually or you can search through the browser. Click Tools then select Add-ons. You'll be presented with many options, including Get Add-ons. Click it and you can start search the three major types of Add-ons. These three are: Themes, Extensions, and Plug-ins. Below is a short description about these items.

Themes are basically Add-ons tom improve the appearance of your browser. You may download packs of special buttons for your browser. All you need to do is to search for buttons and then install the pack. You can also change the theme of your Firefox download by installing a new Persona. The Persona is an image that is imposed on the background of your toolbar area. Mozilla has a dedicated website where you can download these themes. You can even create your own persona by submitting your photograph to the website. But for those who have no time for the submission, you can choose from existing themes – most of which are made by other users.

Extensions, meanwhile, are Add-ons that allow you to increase the functionality of your browser. These are "little extras" that let you do an array of new thing tasks like link your Facebook or Twitter accounts to the browser. You can even install Add-ons that automatically block pop up advertisements, making your MozillaFirefox download experience more pleasant. Extensions are so powerful that you can even use features from other browsers if you install them on your Firefox.

Finally, there are Plug-ins. These Add-ons are provided by third parties (you and Mozilla being the first two parties). They are mostly provided by companies so users can view various types of content within the browser. Remember visiting a website that requested you download a Quicktime plug-in? That's an example of a Plug-in. Some videos, meanwhile, won't play without Flash or Silverlight Plug-ins. You have probably encountered the "Missing Plug-in" error. You can simply click install and these "little extras" will be automatically installed on your Firefox download browser.
