All one needs to do is make use of common sense to extract more from the Firefox extension feature!!!
The problem that my friend was facing was a very complex one. My friend had saved information from the Internet using the ScrapBook Firefox extension. She was very pleased with the functioning of the ScrapBook Firefox extension. However, the problem she faced was a strange one. She had done the research and had collected all the information that she wanted. Now, she wanted to share the research with her research partner. She wanted to transfer all the information that she had collected to the computer of her friend. Now, the root cause of the problem was that the computer of the friend was a very old one and did have the Firefox web browsing software application installed in it. Further, the computer did not have a connection to the Internet as well. So now, the problem that my friend was facing was that she had to transfer information collected using the ScrapBook Firefox extension in the Firefox web browsing software application to another person who 1) Did not have the Firefox web browsing software application installed in it 2) Did not have a connection to the Internet, due to which the setup file of the Firefox web browsing software application could not be downloaded 3) Did not have a connection to the Internet to download and install the ScrapBook Firefox extension in the web browser 4) Did not have the knowledge to go about the whole process, which, needless to say, was a fairly complicated one.
Credit must be given to the versatility of the Firefox web browsing software application that enabled my friend to transfer the information without any problems whatsoever. The first thing that my friend did was to visit the download-Firefox.org website to download the setup of the Firefox web browsing software application along with the setup files of other useful software applications. Since the minimum requirements of the Firefox web browsing software application is very easy to meet, the latest version of the Firefox web browsing software application could be installed despite the fact that the computer was a fairly old one. After downloading the setup file of the Firefox web browsing software application, she visited the official website of the Firefox web browsing software application and visited the Firefox extensions home page. She searched for the ScrapBook Firefox extension that was hosted on the official site and reached the link that had to be clicked to install the ScrapBook Firefox extension into the Firefox web browsing software application. Now, my friend did not want to install the ScrapBook Firefox extension because she had already installed the same in her Firefox web browser. What she wanted was to download the xpi file so that the same could be transferred to the computer of her friend just as the setup file of the Firefox web browsing software application was being transferred. So what she did was that used the ‘save link as’ option in the context menu of the Firefox web browsing software application and saved the XPI file on her hard disk. Now, she had the setup file of the Firefox web browsing software application and the setup file of the Firefox extension that she wanted to install. She transferred the same to the computer of her friend, installed the same and completed the data transfer very easily.
The best advantage with the Firefox web browsing software application is that one does not have to be an expert in computer matters to extract the maximum from the web browsing software application. All one needs to do is make use of common sense and one will find all problems disappearing.
