Help RE: Firefox? If I downloaded an extension like dictionary search,

[henslee]

or bug me not, Where is it once I download it ? Sure I see it listed in exentensions under tools, options -- there's a red book logo and the bugmenot log, but thats it.

I recommend Flashblock -- great extension that disables flash animations unless you click on them.

Also, how do make your tabbed browsing bar bigger? Mine is already full of links and I have already shortened their titles.

Sure I can go to Firefox but this place is better.

Thanks.

1. have you opened the "options"

at the bottom of the extension browser window? you can set various settnigs for the various extensions.

i don't know how to make the browser bar bigger

2. yeah. Just went there again, too. Are there 2 meanings to the words

extennsions? one being the ending of a file name (gif., pdf. etc.) and one the add on features of Firefox?

My real question is how do I open/use a Firefox add on feature that I just downloaded? Like Dict. I am stumped at the moment.

It says the "D" is my acess key for dictionary, how do I use that? Tried to press control or alt, nothing.

4. have you tried this?

right clickin on a word and seeing if there are dictionary search options that open in the menu after right clicking.

i was just reading over the description of dictionary search.

DictionarySearch provides a very easy way to lookup or translate a word in a webpage or an email in a user defineable online dictionary. Simply select the word of which you want to know the meaning. Then right click and select "Dictionary Search for ...". A new browser tab or window will open with the meaning or translation of the word you selected.

3. Generally, to activate an extension in Firefox

it requires you to re-start your browser.

I'd have to google to see where extensions are downloaded to. I used to know but I've forgotten.

edited to add: I haven't found a way to make the link bar larger - I have little arrows off the right end of mine.
