Themes, dictionaries & plug-ins of the Firefox web browser
Mozilla is a storehouse of the extensions & those are consisting & displayed by the volunteers not to consist malware. While extensions are frequently formed by third parties, there is no necessity to travel through the identical level of testing as official Mozilla products, and they may have errors & viruses or vulnerabilities.
Themes: there is assistance in the Firefox web browser for a different kind of themes or skins, which are used to alter the appearance of the web page.these themes, are nothing but the common package of CSS & files of the image. We can download various themes by using the Mozilla Update web site.
In the web browser like Firefox 0.9, there is a modification in the default theme, which is from Qute to Winstripe. This is also responsible for the vocal debate. A very heavy modified Pinstripe is the creator of the Winsetripe.
This is a theme, which is designed with Mac OS X.Earlier, Firefox & its predecessors, took use of the Qute theme, which was designed by the Arvid Axelesson. But this theme was stopped from launching under the Mozilla Public License only because of the issues like license.
It was disturbance for the Axelesson about being confirmed about the alter in the theme only a few days prior to it took place, and posted the transcript of his dialogue with Ben Goodger. The person who contacted the Axelesson about the change on the forums of MozillaZinc & so that was the breaking news before the announcement.
Though there is a critical debate among the people about the recent theme when it was turned over, ultimately the tension diminished in intensity. But there is a continuity in the Axelesson to give Qute particularly. There will be effort from the Axelesson to make the Mozilla Thunderbird default theme.
Dictionaries: This is a another type of the XPI add-ons for web browser like Mozilla Firefox. These dictionaries are used to check the spelling of the words of input fields. In addition, we can use these dictionaries for translating the text from one language to another, which is called as a language translator. We can see various languages of the world in this Firefox web browser.

Also there is assistance for the NPAPI in the web browser like Opera and Internet Explorer 3.0 to 5.0.
There was a announcement from the Mozilla Foundation on June 30, 2004 .this announcement was with Adobe, Apple, Macromedia, Opera, and Sun Microsystems & it is about the modification in the group of plugins.
According to this announcement, the fresh API will permit the web developers to give various finest web-browsing experiences. these recent web experiences is giving assistance to the control modernism & advanced aspects.so there is a expectation about the recent plug-in technologies to execute in the upcoming versions of the Mozilla applications.
