* What is a Firefox Extension?
 
 The main purpose of Firefox Extension is to add some new features to Firefox; those features vary     
 from a simple toolbar button to a totally new functionality. By offering such extensions, it is  
 more flexible when it comes to customize Firefox to meet users' own requirements and preferences 
 and at the same time, useful to keep Firefox itself clean and light. Some of the popular Firefox 
 Extensions examples are Deutsches Wörterbuch, Download Statusbar, Dictionnaire MySpell, Adblock 
 Plus, and Forecastfox.

  A theme is a customization of the look and feel of the browser. 
  For example, a theme can change the default colours and the icons used for the buttons.


* How to get and install Firefox add-ons.
  We can get Firefox add-ons from the website: https://addons.mozilla.org/
  Search and choose you want.

  I want to install, just click the button "Install Now". After installation, I should restart Firefox.
