I tried that.  That only works for that one specific site.  If 
you go to another site, it won't install and you have to give 
it the "ok", then close the page and go back to it again to 
install it.  It's ridiculous that you can't turn that thing off 
all together.

To install from within Firefox you have to go into the options 
and on the
web features tab check "allow web sites to install..."  Then 
you get an
allowed site list option.

They are just "plugins" to add features.  There are many places
to get FF extensions (I posted some in the archives), just do a
search for "Firefox extensions" there, and at any search engine
with and without quotes and you'll find dozens of sites.  Which
you install depends on what you want.

The easiest way to install them is to download them in IE, then
drag the extensions one by one to an open FF window and they
will install.  You have to close FF after each install.  Trying
to install them from within FF is a pain and never worked for
me.  To make a long story short, FF like SP2 on XP, has this
INCREDIBLY ANNOYING BS about not letting you install anything
from within the browser without being prompted to death and
having to do it over and over again until it installs.  FF does
this with .xpi extension files, which are the FF extensions.
You have to save them anyway, so it's easier to d'load them
from IE to a FF extension folder and save them there, then
install them from there.

As what's to what's happening when they are installed; well, I
guess the same thing that happens when you install anything.
It gets "installed".  :-)  The browser is "reconfigured" with
new plugins.
