Extensions/Add Ons
Hi there
I can't find any way to search for new extensions or add ons. In the extensions manager window I can see I have Ad Block Ultimate which I remember adding as an extension a while ago (unless I am mistaken and it comes already installed) but there is no button to allow me to search a list of available add ons or extensions for me to download. How do I go about doing this?
I was hoping to get some sort of anti virus extension but I don't know if such a thing exists. i'm on a Powerbook G4 running OSX 10.5.8
Thanks for your help

At least your PPC should be some kind of hardware protection :-)

I'm not sure it is really - the OS is so old now it could be wide open to viruses and malware and I wouldn't know.
Having said that, I haven't had any problems for years and I use Little Snitch so if some malicious software was trying to send out information I assume Little Snitch would ask my permission first.
But my main question here was - why can't I find any way to browse new extensions or add ons in TenFour Fox? Has it been completely disabled?
Thanks

Yes, it has been completely disabled. The tab (both in TenFourFox and Firefox) simply redirects to Mozilla's add-on site; there was no special client-side support. Since Mozilla no longer hosts add-ons compatible with TenFourFox (and, for that matter, other Firefox derivatives that do not use WebExtensions), it actually causes more harm than good. Creating a separate add-ons browser for these older add-ons is a much bigger task than I am willing to undertake, and add-on support in TenFourFox has always been "best effort," not guaranteed.
However, if a site offers an add-on, you can still install it by downloading the
.xpiand dropping it on the TenFourFox window.
