Have you been a serious Internet user who often indulges in customizing her browser? Mozilla Firefox provides you with a wide selection of plug-ins. However, if you are planning to switch to Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) from Mozilla Firefox, do remember that you will have to leave all the plug-ins behind. Mozilla Firefox plug-ins do not comply with any other browser. However, Microsoft offers a variety of add-ons for IE. However, you might just need to upgrade your Internet Explorer browser to its latest version because some plug-ins may demand so. The below stated guidelines assist you through the process.
Guidelines to transfer plug-ins from Mozilla Firefox to IE7
Select the plug-ins
First, you need to make a list of all those Firefox plug-ins that you have currently installed. Also make a note on the functions that the plug-ins perform. You might not find add-ons with similar names, however, they may provide a comparable function. Hence, search the plug-ins on the basis of their function and not name.
Launch Internet Explorer
Next you need to launch Internet Explorer 7. Visit Microsoft’s official website that approves Internet Explorer add-ons. Use the search option to hunt for specific add-ons according to the function that you are looking for. You may even browse the category lists on the left sidebar to reach out to your search for the apt add-on.
Install the plug-ins
Now, once you have selected the add-ons based on their functional characteristics, click on the ‘Add to Internet Explorer’ button underneath the add-on description. Instructions for installing plug-ins will be shown on your computer screen. Follow those instructions accordingly to complete the installation process. Make sure that the steps are followed correctly in transferring plug-ins, otherwise may create trouble of program instability. Once the installation gets over, restart the browser for the add-on to perform. This procedure needs to be repeated separately, each time you select an add-on.
