Firefox browser.

6. Once the add-on is installed, you will usually be prompted to Restart now. Click this link. It

will restart the browser and may open a webpage relating to the add-on you just installed in

a new tab. Read this for information on your add-on.


7. Return to the Add-ons tab in your browser and click EXTENSIONS in the left pane. Here you
