You’ve downloaded Firefox and love what you see. If you haven’t extended it or modified it in any way, “You ain’t seen nothin’ yet!” (to quote Al Jolson). Some of the more fun things you can do with Firefox are to extend it, customize it, and tweak it.

If those three words freak you out, relax. Take a couple of breaths. For a long time, folks thought Firefox was a browser for techies. Yes, it has techie stuff that happens behind the scenes, but that doesn’t affect your ability to have a great browsing experience. I’ll walk you through a few steps to become more comfortable with taking Firefox beyond its basic setup.

Some of the coolest things about Firefox are its extensions, which add more features, capabilities, and options to the browser. Rather than including every extension to the browser install and giving everyone features that they may or may not need, it’s better to install it yourself - you get what you need without dealing with browser bloat.
