I am disabled and cannot type, and colleges 100% online this year because of CovId 19. When I tried to download the add-on for Dragon naturally speaking the program I use to write Foxfire says that it appears to be corrupted and will not allow me to download it. I know it's not corrupted because I have downloaded it from the same site for chrome. Can anybody tell me how to get around this problem? My sincerest thanks Kevin Arthur Cleveland

Hi Kevin, I don't know whether the extension you can install from the following page is compatible with your version of Dragon, but it will install on Firefox 84:

It is possible that (anti-virus) security software is causing problems. You can try to disable security software temporarily to see if that makes a difference if you keep getting errors with downloading and installing the extension.

I downloaded the add-on from that link, but it's not working in Firefox at all. I still have to dictate the text into the Dragon pad, then click transfer to get it to go into the browser window. The Dragon web extension used to work quite well in Firefox, I have no idea why it isn't working now.
