Alter Mozilla Firefox to your heart’s content and help improve Mozilla Firefox.
Let me explain this to you. First if you are new to the internet world then you should know what Mozilla Firefox is all about. Mozilla fire fox is an open source web browser or software application with a whole lot of useful features which are simple and easy to use.
The people who first developed this web browser software application have released the source code in the on the Mozilla official website. Anyone who was a computer programmer or a software developer or even someone who had technical knowledge about computer programming could make alterations to the software application. This way the original software application became more functional as new programmes were added to it.
These small programs which were called extensions made web browsing a wonderful experience for the end users. More and more people started to write new programs which enhanced the web browser software application.
In most web browser applications the user of the application is not entitled to make any changes to the original software application as he or she is not the owner of the software application. The user is only licensed to make use of the software application for his or her use. This is not the case with Mozilla Firefox.
As mentioned earlier Mozilla firefox is an open source web browser. This means that you, me or for that matter anybody can make any alteration they want to the software application.
There are some people would prefer the Mozilla Firefox default theme and use it as it is without making any changes. But others prefer to make changes to the application of Mozilla firefox web browser as they want something different and better for themselves. It is for these enthusiastic people that Mozilla firefox allows them to experiment with new additional software programs to enhance its function.
Mozilla fire fox foundation invites anyone who has the ability to write new additional programs which can be incorporated into the software application of the web browser to give a whole new experience to web browsing. This way many new features like Firefox extensions, Themes, add - on and plug ins etc have been posted on the Mozilla web site. All these features were developed by enthusiastic people like you and me.
A Mozilla Firefox user can add or remove any extension or theme he or she wants and to keep experimenting till they find what appeals to them most. A user can change the color, add book marks, security functions, use pop up blockers which prevent unwanted ads from popping on the screen etc.
Sometimes, you may find some aspect of the web browser application has not been altered. This actually implies that no other additional alteration is needed to be made on it. But there can be other aspects which may need modifications so that the web browser gives a better web browsing experience to its user. It is here that anyone who is willing can make all the necessary changes to enhance the particular application.
After making the changes to the applications the programmer or developer has to post the changes on the Mozilla firefox web page and invite other Mozilla Firefox users to try out these new features and give their opinion on the new program. Other people can also improve on the software application thus making it better with additional features.
Other web users will then post the opinions and once the extension is found to be acceptable by many then anyone can have it downloaded and added to their web browser.
The Firefox Mozilla community of web developers have always been on hand to help make these alterations.
