The new ‘add-on manager’ in Firefox 2.0 is going to enhance the popularity of the Firefox extensions feature!!!!
It would not be incorrect to say that even the developers of Mozilla Firefox must have been surprised by the popularity of the Firefox extensions feature. There is no doubt that the Firefox extension feature is something that ought to have been incorporated in each and every web browsing software application. However, the fanatical popularity of this feature offered by Mozilla Firefox is something that has never been seen in the web browsing industry before. The Firefox extension is not the only external addition that the end user can make to the Firefox web browsing software application. The end user can download and install Firefox themes, Firefox plug-ins and Firefox add-ons. There are many web sites on the internet that will provide you with the latest Firefox extensions. The official website of Mozilla Firefox categorizes the extensions in different categories to make it easier for the end user to download and install the same. There is a category called the ‘most popular’ Firefox extensions. This category helps the end user keep track of the features that other end users are choosing and downloading.
The popularity of the Firefox themes feature is equivalent to the popularity of the Firefox extensions feature. Before Mozilla Firefox came around, web browsing software applications were considered serious software applications that had nothing to do with fun and enjoyment. People were forced to look at the same display patterns and skins while surfing the web and while using the web browsing software application. Mozilla Firefox changed all that by offering the Firefox themes feature. This feature enabled the end user to download Firefox skins that could be used to change the appearance of the Firefox browser. The end user can download as many themes as he or she wants. The end user can customize the appearance of the Firefox web browser as and when wanted. The popularity of Firefox extensions, themes, and external additions caused one problem.
It became very difficult for the end user to keep track of all the extensions, themes and add-ons installed on the Firefox web browser software application. The end users of Mozilla Firefox began to feel the need of having an ‘add- on manager’. The end users began to feel the need of a manager that will sort and categorize the Firefox extensions, themes and other add-ons. The developers of Mozilla Firefox were very quick to recognize this requirement of all the end users and stepped in very quickly to incorporate the ‘add- on manager’ feature in the Firefox web browser version 2.0. As the very name suggests, this ‘add- on manager’ feature shall help the end user manage the Firefox external add-ons with a lot more ease. Earlier, the end user had to open separate windows to manage the extensions and themes. Now with the ‘add- on manager’ being incorporated into Mozilla Firefox 2.0, the end user can avoid opening multiple windows to handle the extensions and the themes installed on the web browser. With this feature available, all the end user has to do is to open the ‘add- on manager’ and take a look at all the extensions, themes and add-ons installed on the Firefox web browser. The end user can uninstall the extensions and the themes if he or she so desires. The ‘add- on manager’ makes it very easy to configure the extension and themes feature. Mozilla Firefox has always emphasized the importance of keeping the web browsing software application simple. The ‘add- on manager’ will make the task of handling and sorting the Firefox extensions very easy. There is no doubt that the popularity of the Firefox extensions and Firefox themes feature will witness a rise when the ‘add- on manager’ is used by all the users of Mozilla Firefox.
