When the Firefox extension feature was first introduced, it was presumed that the extension feature would be utilized by the end users to surf the web in a more productive manner. However, if one takes a look at the various categories of Firefox extensions available on the internet today, one is forced to conclude that the Firefox extension feature has been utilized not just to enhance the web browsing feature of the Firefox web browsing software application but also to add additional features to the Firefox web browsing software application.
Today, the Firefox extension feature is being used by the end users to add new features to the Firefox web browser. More often than not, the features being added to the Firefox web browsers are completely unrelated to web browsing. Till date, most of the end users of web browsing software application presumed that downloading stuff from the internet was the job of download managers. The end users of other web browsing software application do not choices and they are forced to rely upon external download managers to perform the task of downloading information from the net. One aspect of the functioning of the external download manager is to provide the ability to download web sites as a whole. More often than not, researchers may find the need to download web sites as a whole.
If you are researching on a particular topic and if you come across our web site that provides comprehensive information about the topic of your research, it makes more sense to download the web site as a whole rather than visiting individual web pages and downloading the information again and again. If the entire web site is downloaded and stored on the hard disk, it can be accessed at one’s convenience without having to connect to the internet.
Before the Firefox web browsing software application was around, this task would have fallen exclusively under the ambit of external download managers. However, today there are many Firefox extensions that offer the ability to download web sites as a whole the end users within the Firefox web browsing software application itself. There are many Firefox extensions that allow the end users to capture web pages as a whole. If one uses the ‘save as feature in the Firefox web browser to save web pages, one will find that the name of the web page changes and it becomes difficult for the end user to remember the context in which the webpage was downloaded. However, if one uses the ScrapBook Firefox extension, the end user can capture the web pages as a whole. This retains the original address of the web page and enables the end user to keep track of the purpose for which the webpage was downloaded. One can write clippings and notes about the information on the web page. Further, one can highlight text on the webpage that has been captured. This enables the end user to perform research on the internet in a productive manner. The ScrapBook Firefox extension also offers the feature of downloading web sites as a whole. Rather than relying on complicated external download managers that make it very difficult for the end user to understand the process of downloading web sites, the ScrapBook Firefox extension enables the end user to download the web pages in a very simple and easy manner.
Hence, the Firefox extension feature is posing a threat not just to other web browsing software applications but also to all other software applications that serve any purpose related to the web. There is a possibility of a Firefox extension duplicating the functions of such software application to give the end user of the Firefox web browser a better experience.
