Difference Between Plugin, Addon, and Helper Application

I am trying to understand classification/naming of scripts,
I havent found any software vocabulary online that I can read,
I have many scripts which my own, and from open sources.
I want to put my script to correct folders.

Whats difference between those concepts in practice?

Plugins are the complete programs and these can be installed in your system and can be used in browser whereas add-ons are not complete programs ,these are used to add functionality to your browser. for example, Flash Player is a plugin which can be installed in your system as well in browser to play video, InPrivate Filtering is an add-on which is used in some browser to provide privacy. So, add-ons provide additional and limited functionality to your browser.
