Software used in this Tutorial:

And here it´s the initial page of the Extensions
(the most download, the last ones in appearing, etc.)

FIRST STEP: WHAT IS AN EXTENSION?
The extensions of Firefox are small added (like patches) that
add new functionalities to him to the applications of Mozilla. They can add
to your navigator from a simple button in the bar of tools, to a completely
new ability (downloading of archives, downloading of video, reproduction of
music…). They allow to personalize the browser to fit it to the necessities
of each user.
SECOND STEP: TO LOCATE AND TO INSTALL THE EXTENSION
From the initial page of the extensions
for Firefox, we located the one that we want (it uses the finder, above
to the right: “session to saver”). Or it unloads directly, for this
example: Session
Saver.
This extension is worth to us so that when we close Firefox
having several opened eyelashes, the browser “remembers” of where
we were in favor and which when returning it to open we are these same eyelashes
again. We go, as its name indicates, us “keeps the session”.
Note: This is what the extensions do: you
already knew that you needed something thus (you were very to lose the eyelash
when closing Firefox), then, somebody developed it. The best thing is than surfng
by the extensions and you look for those that more adjust to which you need.
In the page of the extension
there is a small description, sus compatibilidades
its compatibilities (this is, whereupon programs work and in what versions,
by this agree to know what version of Mozilla Firefox we have - in “About
Mozilla Firefox”, you test…), and the button of “Install
now”.
It´s that with green background. Clic here. I have said the green one…
We will see this:
It patiently hopes to that it finishes the count down (in the image leaves
“6”… is decreasing) and click in “Installing now”.
The window of Extensions will be opened (when you want to open
to see it what demons you have installed you can go to “Tools”,
“Extensions” -sometimes some slow down the browser...dont abuse…)
and it will leave a bar progress that quickly will be completed. The window
of extensions is this:
And I have said quickly. So quickly that I havent been able nor to capture
it. You see now that it puts that there is to reinitiate the browser. What will
be this, truth? Difficult what… One is to close it and to return it to
open. Yes, to close it. The one of the “red X”. You will not lose
yourself in this step, you I assure it. I trustin you, I dont put drawing to
you.
THIRD STEP: THE OPTIONS OF THE EXTENSIONS
By the way, on the foot of this window they appear the bottons of undownload
extensions (it is possible to clear them, yes), to look for updates
for the extensions (the developers are them improving), and
the button of options. I enclose capture to you of these bottons:
Once closed and returned to send, we go to “Tools”, “Extensions”,
selected Session Saver and we click in “Options”. They appear to
us the possibilities that the extension offers. In this case they arent too
many… Nothing that to touch.
It´s not nothing else necessary to know about the extensions. Good yes:
that there are many... And of all the flavors. It´s your work to be discovering
which are those that interest to you. But you think about which could make this
browser, probably a guy with glasses to the other side of the ocean already
it thought it, and it programmed something so that it did it. Looking for!
