    INTRODUCTION

    Plug-ins are software modules that add to the functionality of an application. Many applications
    use plug-ins, including Photoshop, and web browsers such as Firefox and Internet Explorer. Plug-ins can have many different functions. Web browsers typically use plug-ins to expand the range of formats they can display (e.g., Acrobat documents, QuickTime or Adobe Flash content). When the web browser encounters a format it doesn't support, it looks for a plug-in that does. A plug-in can launch its own viewer, appear within a browser window, appear in an embedded frame (within a window that may also contain HTML), or run in the background. Plug-ins work in similar ways with other kinds of programs.

    In this Seminar we are also going to develop a simple plug-in in Firefox We are going to use firefox free source Development tool-kit to enhance our Plug-in.
