Extensions are small add-ons that add new functionality to Firefox, from 
a simple toolbar button to a completely new feature. They allow you to 
customize Firefox to fit your own needs and preferences, while letting 
us keep Firefox itself light and lean.

Plugins help your browser perform specific functions like viewing 
special graphic formats or playing multimedia files. Plugins are 
slightly different from extensions, which modify or add to existing 
functionality.
