An internal file in each add-on indicates the range of Firefox versions with which the extension is compatible. In the Firefox Add-ons area of Mozilla, you can review version compatibility information on the page for each available extension.

If your installed version of Firefox does not fit within that range, installing the add-on results in an error, indicating that the add-on is not compatible. If your version of Firefox is incompatible with the add-on, you can:

  • Update to the latest version of Firefox. For more information, see Update Firefox to the latest release.
  • Find a version of the add-on that is compatible with your version of Firefox. The Firefox Add-ons website usually has the most up to date version of each add-on.
  • Use a different extension. For many extensions, there are similar extensions that provide the same functionality. For more information, see Firefox Add-ons.

Newer versions of Firefox protect you against malware and browser hijackers by blocking third-party add-ons that are not digitally signed and verified by Mozilla. For more information, see Add-on signing in Firefox.

Certain add-ons have been blocklisted by Mozilla for being unsafe. For more information, see Add-ons that cause stability or security issues are put on a blocklist.
