I pushed the download button on the mobile add on and it installs just a short cut of the add on on my computer. I then try and install and it says windows can not open this file. Can you please help me?

Thank you for your time!

Hi,

You can't install mobile add-ons from your computer. You need to install Firefox mobile on your phone, then go to Add-ons from the main Firefox mobile menu and download and install a mobile add-on there. Try using this procedure and let me know if you need more help: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/find-and-install-add-ons

It is also worth pointing out that only some extensions work on Firefox mobile.
