I don't use that file as much as I probably should. It's a lot easier to see what you have than the abbreviated list that opens up when you click bookmarks in your browser. Anyway that file saved seperately (I don't remember exactly how you do it but if you go to manage bookmarks and click export it will walk you through it) is a back up for your browser in case you lose them in an upgrade like you did. I am pretty sure I learned about that from someone here on GLP so just trying to pass the favor on. |

If any are available, it will prompt you at the next start to install any updates. You can change this behavior in the Update tab of the Advanced panel of OptionsPreferences. You can check for updates manually by selecting the Extensions or Themes panel and clicking the Find Updates button. If updates are available, the Add-ons manager displays an Updates panel, where you can choose the updates you want to install. Click the Install Updates button to update those add-ons. You need to restart Firefox for changes to take effect. Disabling, Enabling, and Uninstalling Add-ons If you want to get rid of an extension, you can either disable it temporarily, so it is easily available should you want to enable it again in the future, or uninstall it. Themes can only be uninstalled since all themes except the current one are disabled automatically. To disable or enable an extension, select the extension of your choice and click its Disable or Enable button. To remove an add-on from Firefox, select the add-on you wish to remove and click its Uninstall button. You need to restart Firefox for changes to take effect. Further functionality Further functionality such as Visit Home Page and About is available by selecting the add-on of your choice, pressing Ctrl and clicking onright-clicking the add-on and selecting the respective item from the context menu. Tasks specific to extensions or themes Configuring Extensions Extensions often provide a dialog to configure their functionality. To open the optionspreferences dialog of an extension, select the Extensions panel, select the extension of your choice, and click its OptionsPreferences button, or simply double-click the extension. Hey, is it getting hot in here to you guys? And why am I in this basket? |
