Plug-ins and Add-ons are two terms that are used for almost similar things. Both are used to extend the functionality of a specific software program. These extensions extend the usability of the program, and it totally depends on the program maker that what they call these extensions.
The extensions for different programs can be made by a third-party software maker, by software maker themselves or even by individuals. Plug-in Plug-in is a term used for extensions that are developed by a third-party organisation for a specific program. For instance, if you are using a web browser to watch online videos, then you will need to install a plug-in called flash player.
Welcome to the forums, Jimmy. The way things work here is that the person who asks the question is supposed to supply context and sample sentences and then we can all discuss it.
How do you see the difference between "add on" and "add in"? Ok, Thanks for advising! For example: We were missing the spare button on the tab of garment! We will add on the spare button to the tab! Or the specification didn't request the velcro on the hood collar, but I want to add on the velcro to the hood collar!

That said, there are a lot of cases where they are the only option. Extensions An extension is something that is specific to the browser, and they are a bit different on each browser, but tend to be able to learn more about the overall state of the browser; they may be automatically added to pages, accessible separately from a page, etc.
Add-ons Add-on is more of a generic term which is used to mean a lot of different things. Key Differences Extensions tend to be automatic once installed.
FireBreath FireBreath deals with plugins. Improve this answer. Thanks to Taxilian's answer, this is an exact, comprehensive and precise answer. Your framework is so useful and applicable for many purposes however I think FireBreath is unknown for many users.
I have spending a lot of times for handling smart card through add-ons while I could handle my problem with FireBreath quickly. So FireBreath should introduce properly. Your hard work is admirable and appreciated by anyone who knows FireBreath. FireBreath2 already works with Native Messaging, it's just poorly documented; that just requires users who are willing to chip in. There aren't any competitors to FireBreath that I'm aware of. FireBreath fills a particular niche. There are some extension frameworks, which I have never used and can't tell you anything about -- the advantages to those are that they aren't plugins.
If you don't need a plugin, don't use one. I will assume that whatever culture you are from, that comment was intended to be far less insulting than it actual sounds in my culture. Regardless, I do not give out my personal email address for questions which should be asked on StackOverflow; I recommend against asking for such on stackoverflow in the future, it will likely not be taken well.
