What is   " add-ons under tools in FF  "

If the FF in your question is referring to the Firefox browser, the 
"Add-ons" selection gives you access to the following features of Firefox:

Get Add-ons - Add-ons are small pieces of software that add new features 
or functionality to your installation of Firefox
Extensions    - Extensions can be used to modify the behavior of 
existing features to the application or add entirely new features
Appearance  - Where the default theme for the browser is stored. New 
themes can be added.
Plugins          - Plugins like Flash and Java are Firefox add-ons used 
to display some interactive content
Services       - Services let you integrate the features of a site like 
Facebook right into Firefox

Essentially, all of the above are Add-ons. You have a settings button on 
each page that allows you to select "check for updates automatically" or 
to manually check for updates. Don't be afraid to go into the Add-ons 
page. If you kill a feature, you can always go and reload it.

Recently, because it was discovered that Java 7-11 had a opening for 
hackers to use, Firefox automatically is turning it off. But it provides 
a pop-up window letting you know that a webpage wants to use Java, and 
it gives you the option to enable Java for that session.

The Add-ons feature lets you configure Firefox the way you want it to 
work for you. Have fun with it.
