<p>This is as cookbook as I can make it:</p>
<ol>
<li>Install the FireFox browser</li>
<li>Under the “Tools” menu, pick “Add-ons”</li>
<li>In the search box in the upper right, enter Customize Your Web and search. If you don’t see it in the list, at the bottom click the “See all 174 results” link.</li>
<li>When you mouse over “Customize Your Web”, an “Add to FireFox” button shows up. Click it and install the add-on. It will ask you to restart the browser, do it.</li>
<li>Select and copy the code below, open up a text editor and past it in, and save it to a file called cc.xml .</li>
</ol>
