It can also change + the language shown in the user interface. Add-ons can be classified in four + types:</p> + +<ul> + <li><strong>Extensions</strong>: This type of Add-on either changes the way + &brandShortName; behaves or adds new features to it. For instance, there + are extensions that provide you with weather forecasts, that add a + full-featured FTP client, or that block advertisements in web pages. Some + extensions are designed to work only with specific websites.</li> + <li><strong>Themes</strong>: Themes change the appearance and design of + &brandShortName;, but don't add or change features. They act as a + skin. &brandShortName; ships with two themes, Default Theme and Modern + Theme, but you can add more to fit your style.</li> + <li><strong>Languages</strong>: While you can download &brandShortName; in + a number of languages, you may add additional languages to it in the form + of language packs. This way, different users may use &brandShortName; in + their own language without having to install the program for everyone. + This is specially useful if you are going to install &brandShortName; on a + computer that is shared by different users in, for example, a computer lab. + + <p><strong>Note</strong>: Language packs only change the user interface + language. Web pages, messages, newsgroup and news & blog posts will + still be shown in the original language in which they were written.</p> + </li> + <li><strong>Plugins</strong>: Plugins act as connectors between + &brandShortName; and other programs. They enable you to see special content + (like Flash movies, or Adobe PDF documents) directly inside the + &brandShortName; browser window, instead of opening the target program in a + separate window.</li> +</ul> + +<p>Add-ons always come as packages. Each Add-on is a single file with the XPI + extension, except in the case of plugins which usually are binaries specific + to the target operating system.</p> + +<p>[<a href="#add-ons">Return to beginning of section</a>]</p> + +<h3 id="installing_add-ons">Installing Add-ons</h3> + +<p>There are a number of ways to install Add-ons:</p> + +<ul> + <li>By clicking a link for an Add-on on a web page.
