How to Find and Install Add-ons in the Add-ons Manager in Firefox 3

I have to say that my Firefox3 browser is looking a little bear. I don’t have a lot going on. So I’d like to find and add on or couple add ons that’s got to help me be more productive, see some new things and hopefully make things a little bit more interesting. So I'm going to do that by visiting the Add On Manager. And how I'm going to get there is go to tools and then add ons. And when it first comes up, make sure that tram that get add ons tab, and it will show you some recommended add ons and it will tell you a little bit about them. I can also search trough all that add ons if I go—if I click in this box then I can search. For instance, I can type in weather and then press enter or click on the magnifying glass. Looks like there’s weather bug. I have a couple different choices here, need to go ahead and click on add to Firefox. And it says that I have to accept the user agreement, sometimes it will say that. You can go ahead and you go accept. You can go of course to the website and read it as you should and it will go ahead and connect. This might take a few minutes and then it will come up with this add on. You can click now and install now and it will go ahead and install it. It will tell you that you need to restart Firefox. You can, however, get other add ons and then restart Firefox when you're completely done.

I can also go to browse all add ons and it will actually take me to the website for the Firefox Add Ons. Here, I can search as well or I can search by category. Now, next time I restart Firefox, then I will have weather bug installed and any other add ons that I have installed will be displayed.
