I want to questions an answer, if you please:
Does the term 'extensions' refer to the installable add-on's in Firefox that one can enable/disable at will and which automatically update? 'cause ya see, I'm in desperate need of some sorts like this, whereas I can backup on my internet-pc and restore on my non-internet-pc to have these updated add-on's available right through...
Suggestions?
That's it.
