Mozilla Add-ons Totally Explained

Everything about Mozilla Add-ons totally explained

Mozilla Add-ons (https://addons.mozilla.org/), formerly Mozilla Update, is a website which offers add-ons for Mozilla software, including Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Thunderbird, SeaMonkey (formerly the Mozilla Application Suite) and Mozilla Sunbird. These add-ons include extensions, themes, dictionaries, search engine plugins and plugins.
   It is the official place to get Mozilla add-ons as Mozilla software includes links to Mozilla Add-ons, however add-ons can also be installed from other websites.
   Mozilla Add-ons is also informally known as AMO or a.m.o (an abbreviation of its URL). Formerly, it was known as UMO as the URL was update.mozilla.org.
   The site has undergone several changes since the first launch.

A major rewrite of the public pages was launched on April 4 2006
A visual refresh of the Firefox pages was pushed on October 24 2006 to correspond with the launch of Firefox 2 and the newly styled mozilla.com
A complete rewrite of both the developer and public pages, codenamed Remora, was launched on March 23 2007
Another visual refresh, "Remora 3.2", is scheduled to launch in mid-March 2008

In contrast to mozdev.org which provides free hosting for Mozilla-related projects, this website is targeted to end-users, not just software developers.
   As of February 2008, there are over 4600 extensions and over 650 themes hosted on the site. On January 30 2008, it was announced that over 600 million add-ons have been downloaded from Mozilla Add-ons and that over 100 million add-ons check the site for updates every day.
   One of the best reasons that Firefox has boomed in the Internet zone is its flexible ability to add plug-ins and add-ons onto the browser. These add-ons are reasonably small in size - ranging from 5 KB to 13MB for the largest, but managing to keep within the 500KB boundary - and they've great effects on the way people use the browser to surf the internet. Some of the more popular add-ons are (in no particular order): Download Statusbar, AdBlock Plus, McAfee SiteAdvisor, IE Tab, FasterFox, VideoDownloader, ChatZilla, FoxyTunes, Map+ and many more available.
   Firefox also has the added functionality of a Search Bar conjoining its Address bar. You can also decide on which Search Engine the Search Bar should use. The default is Google, but the add-ons to change it extends from Amazon to Wikipedia, enabling easy access to any search engine.
   The site is available in American English, Albanian, Basque, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Slovak and Spanish (Spain).
