What is a Firefox add-on?
Firefox add-ons are tools added to the browser to perform specific functions, like a spellcheck, a currency conversion, etc. Add-ons are a major difference between Firefox and IE, so if you do want to use Firefox, you should take advantage of this feature. To search for and install a Firefox add-on:
 * 1) Run Firefox
 * 2) Go to TOOLS > ADD-ONS
 * 3) Pick from the top downloads or look for a specific category or type of add-on. Try these two to begin with. Remember to ead how the add-on works once installed.
 * 4) Look for QUICK DICTIONARY and install it. Remember to RESTART Firefox when prompted
 * 5) Look for SOZLOOK and install it.

TIP: When looking for a new add-on, make sure you read the reviews before installing it.
