<p>Themes are small files that are installed in &brandShortName; that change
the look and feel of &brandShortName;. Themes are not allowed to modify the
actions or functionality of &brandShortName;, only the look.</p>
<p>Add-ons are small pieces of software which change or add to the appearance or
functionality of &brandShortName;. There are two kinds of add-ons: extensions
and themes.</p>

<dd>Extensions add new functionality to &brandShortName;. They can add
anything from a toolbar button to a completely new feature. They allow the
application to be customized to fit the personal needs of each user while
minimizing the size and appearance of the application itself.</dd>
<p>You can download and install many themes from <a
href="https://addons.mozilla.org/themes/" target="_blank">Mozilla Update</a>.
Internet searches will find many other themes as well.</p>
<dt>Themes</dt>
<dd>Themes modify &brandShortName;'s appearance. They allow you to change the
look and feel of &brandShortName; and personalize it to your tastes. A
theme can simply change button images, or it can change every piece of
&brandShortName; appearance.</dd>
</dl>
<p>Usually when you click on a link to install a theme, &brandShortName;
displays a dialog asking you for permission to install the theme. You can
choose to allow the download and installation or to cancel the process.</p>

<p>When you click on a link to install an add-on, &brandShortName; displays a
dialog asking you for permission to install the add-on. You can choose to
allow the download and installation or to cancel the process.</p>
<p>In the Theme Manager, select the theme you wish to remove, and click the
<em>Uninstall</em> button. You may need to close and then reopen
&brandShortName; for all changes to take effect.</p>
<h2 id="add_ons_manager">Using the Add-ons manager</h2>
<p>Add-ons are managed in the Add-ons manager. Select <span
class="menuPath">Tools &gt; Add-ons</span> to open it.</p>
<h3 id="changing_themes">Switching Themes</h3>
<h3 id="add_ons_updating">Updating Add-ons</h3>
<p>To switch between your installed themes, select <span class="menuPath">Tools
&gt; Themes</span> to open the Theme Manager.</p>
<p>By default, &brandShortName; will periodically check when a new version for
one of your installed add-ons is available. If any are available, it will
prompt you at the next start to install any updates. You can change this
behavior in the <a href="prefs.xhtml#advanced_update"><em>Update</em> tab</a>
of the <em>Advanced</em> panel of &pref.pluralCaps;.</p>
<p>In the Theme Manager, select the theme of your choice, and click
the <em>Use Theme</em> button. It is recommended that you close and then
reopen &brandShortName; so that the theme can be applied correctly.</p>
<p>You can check for updates manually by selecting the <em>Extensions</em> or
<em>Themes</em> panel and clicking the <em>Find Updates</em> button. If
updates are available, the Add-ons manager displays an <em>Updates</em>
panel, where you can choose the updates you want to install. Click the
<em>Install Updates</em> button to update those add-ons.
You need to restart &brandShortName; for changes to take effect.</p>
<h3 id="updating_themes">Updating Themes</h3>
<h3 id="add_ons_uninstalling">Disabling, Enabling, and Uninstalling Add-ons</h3>
<p>Whenever you would like to check for a newer version of a theme that you
have installed, select <span class="menuPath">Tools &gt; Themes</span> to open
the Theme Manager.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>To disable or enable an extension, select the extension of your choice and
click its <em>Disable</em> or <em>Enable</em> button. To remove an add-on from
&brandShortName;, select the add-on you wish to remove and click its
<em>Uninstall</em> button. You need to restart &brandShortName; for changes to
take effect.</p>
<p>In the Theme Manager, &brandShortName; displays <em>Update Now</em> buttons
for themes with available updates. Click the respective button for the theme
you would like to update.</p>
<h3 id="add_ons_further">Further functionality</h3>
<p>By default, &brandShortName; will periodically check and notify you when a
new version for one of your installed themes is available. You can change
this behavior in the <a href="prefs.xhtml#advanced_update"><em>Update</em>
tab</a> of the <em>Advanced</em> panel of &pref.pluralCaps;.
You can check for updates manually by clicking the <em>Find Updates</em>
button.</p>
<p>Further functionality such as <em>Visit Home Page</em> and <em>About</em> is
available by selecting the add-on of your choice, <span class="mac">pressing
&ctrlKey; and clicking on</span><span class="noMac">right-clicking</span> the
add-on and selecting the respective item from the context menu.</p>

<h3 id="add_ons_specific">Tasks specific to extensions or themes</h3>
<h4 id="add_ons_configuring_extensions">Configuring Extensions</h4>
<p>Extensions are small add-ons to &brandShortName; that change existing
browser functionality or add new functionality.</p>
<p>Extensions often provide a dialog to configure their functionality. To open
the preferences dialog of an extension, select the Extensions panel, select
the extension of your choice, and click its <em>&pref.pluralCaps;</em> button,
or simply double-click the extension.</p>
<h3 id="getting_installing_extensions">Getting and Installing Extensions</h3>
<h4 id="add_ons_switching_themes">Switching Themes</h4>
<p>Installing an extension involves a very similar process to installing
themes. Extensions can be found at <a target="blank"
href="https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/">Mozilla Update</a>.</p>
<p>To switch between your installed themes, select the Themes panel, select the
theme of your choice, and click its <em>Use Theme</em> button. You need to
restart &brandShortName; for changes to take effect.</p>
<p>There should be an install link for each extension on that extension's
page. As long as JavaScript is not disabled in your browser, clicking this
link will install the extension for you.</p>
<h3 id="uninstalling_extensions">Uninstalling Extensions</h3>
<p>Should you ever wish to remove an extension from &brandShortName;, select
<span class="menuPath">Tools &gt; Extensions</span> to open the Extension
Manager.</p>
<p>In the Extension Manager, select the extension you wish to remove, and click
the <em>Uninstall</em> button. You may need to close and then reopen
