I tried to make an account to see if this helped, but this bar I am describing is yellow and has a triangle with a ! in it. I tried to instal and extension anyway, but that didn't work, I clicked learn more next to the yellow bar, but nothing from where it took me to helped at all, it just shows what Firefox can do.

Chosen solution

Extensions are not part of Firefox shell for iOS at this time. It may be a feature added in the future.

This is for desktop Firefox on Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/

This is for mobile Firefox for Android. https://addons.mozilla.org/android/
