Mozilla Add-ons Part 2

On the topic of themes for Mozilla’s Firefox web browser; there are a ton of them. Choosing the right one is about as complex as choosing what art to hang in the living room, assuming you can choose from nearly any piece of art, ever.

A theme is what your general background will look like while you are surfing the web. For the most part that’s just the top bar across the web browser application window, which shows the options, navigation buttons and address bar, search bar and tabs. So, if you choose a Hello Kitty theme, you are going to have a white cartoon cat peeping at you while you check your email.

There are several ways to manage your theme, but the most direct way is to click on Tools in the option menu at the top of the browser. Then choose Add-ons when the menu drops down.

Choosing that option will open a second window which is your ad on manager. At the top are the three basic types of add-ons for Firefox, along with a Get Add-on option. For now ignore everything but the Themes option, which has a painter’s pallet and paintbrush as an icon.

When you first click on themes the only thing available will be the default Firefox setting. However, near the bottom right of the window is a get themes option, which if clicked will lead the viewer to a web page within Mozilla.com which houses the sizable selection of various themes available.

This web site is pretty easy to navigate, with a helpful and quick search feature and some common sense categories listed along the right side of the page. And, it’s even easier to actually use. After checking out the various categories of persona’s and themes, simply click on the ‘wear it’ option, and the theme is instantly downloaded and activated.
