Even better news - Firefox now supports features that used to require additional plugins.
Firefox has been expanding to support features that used to require extra plugins. Now, they’re kept up-to-date automatically and managed through blocklisting for added security. So you can stay current with just one Firefox update.
As the web moves forward, so do we. Firefox now supports more features that used to require plugins, so you can browse with fewer crashes and interruptions. Plus, our blocklist system protects you between updates.
Add-ons let you add bells & whistles to Firefox. You can get add-ons that compare prices, check the weather, change the look of Firefox, listen to music, or even update your Facebook profile. This article covers the different types of add-ons available and how to find and install them.

- 1What types of add-ons can I install?
- 3Troubleshooting add-ons
You can install these general types of add-ons:
- Extensions
Extensions add new features to Firefox or modify existing ones. There are extensions that allow you to block advertisements, download videos from websites, integrate Firefox with websites like Facebook or Twitter, and add features included in other browsers, such as translators. - Themes
Themes can decorate the menu bar and tab strip with a background image. Firefox also includes built-in themes. For more information on built-in themes, see Built-in themes in Firefox - alternative to complete themes. - Plugins
You can install the Adobe Flash plugin for video, audio, online games, and more. (Firefox automatically downloads the Google Widevine CDM for watching Digital Rights Management (DRM) controlled content and an OpenH264 plugin for video calls.)
- Dictionaries
Firefox can check your spelling, but not all locales come with a dictionary installed due to licensing reasons. You can find and install a dictionary for your language. (To change the language of the Firefox user interface, see the article Use Firefox in another language.)
- Dictionaries & Language Packs
Firefox can check your spelling, but not all locales come with a dictionary installed due to licensing reasons. You can find and install a dictionary for your language. You can also install language packs that will change the language of the entire application.
- Search engines
Firefox comes with a number of search engines already installed. You can access them from the Search bar (if enabled) or directly from the address bar. If you want additional search engines, you can install them on the websites directly or from addons.mozilla.org.
Viewing and managing your installed add-ons
Search engines can be viewed and managed in the Search panel in Firefox OptionsPreferences. For other add-ons:
- Click the menu button and choose Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
- Select the panel for the type of add-on you wish to view or manage, such as the Extensions, Themes or Plugins panel.
For detailed information on disabling or removing add-ons, see Disable or remove Add-ons.
Here is an overview to get you started:
- Firefox may offer personalized recommendations. Click the menu button , click Add-ons and select Get Add-onsRecommendations.
- To install a featuredrecommended add-on, click the blue or button, depending on the type of add-on. To uninstall an add-on you just installed, click the grey button.
At the top and bottom of the list of featuredrecommended add-ons, there's also a button you can click. It will take you to addons.mozilla.org where you can search for specific add-ons.

For advanced users: You can also install add-ons from a file. If you saved the installer file to your computer, (for example, an .xpi or .jar file) you can install the add-on using the gear icon in the upper-right area of the Add-on Manager Extensions panel. Select Install Add-on from file... from the menu, then find and select the file.
Some extensions place a button in the toolbar after installation. You can remove those or move them into the menu if you want - see Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars.
