firefox1.gifNew to Firefox? First of all, let us give you the warmest welcome to the best web browser in the world! Now we can go on to explain how to customize your Firefox by adding extensions in just a few easy steps.

  • First of all, some information: an extension is a small piece of software that can be installed in your web browser to either modify one of its built-in tools or add a completely new function.
  • Click on the link of the desired extension, usually an XPI file, and a software installation window will open.
  • Allow the installation and once it’s finished, restart the browser.
  • If you see a yellow bar on top of the page, don’t worry. It’s just a warning message in case the webpage is trying to install software on your PC without your consent. Just click on the Edit options button and include the current site in the list of allowed web pages.

There’s a huge amount of Firefox extensions available on the Internet. We recommend taking a look at our list and select the ones you like best. Also, if there’s one cool, handy extension you’re using and we don’t have it, do not hesitate to share it with us!
