I'm admittedly still using firefuck^H^H^Hox.
Once you decide to search for extensions... you might be able to find some, but don't expect you'll be able to just install them.
No! In order to download the plugin you need to register... §Q$&{/§%?$%!!

  Better than Bugzilla getting saturated with spam... Futhermore, registered users generate better bug reports. If you can't be bothered to register, you also probably can't be bothered to test if the bug you report is reproducible.
