Extensions, commonly called add-ons, are software components that enhance the capabilities of the Firefox browser. These additions modify and augment the browsing experience by providing customizable features. For instance, extensions can block advertisements, manage passwords, or integrate with external services.
The availability of these enhancements significantly impacts user experience, allowing for tailored browser functionality and increased productivity. Historically, a robust ecosystem of these extensions has been a distinguishing feature of the desktop version of Firefox, contributing to its popularity and versatility by enabling users to mold the browser to their specific needs.
