Install

Chrome Web Store

Firefox Add-ons

Local Install

Chrome

Here's how you load an extension in Chrome when developing, taken from https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/getstarted#unpacked:

Extensions that you download from the Chrome Web Store are packaged up as .crx files, which is great for distribution, but not so great for development. Recognizing this, Chrome gives you a quick way of loading up your working directory for testing. Let's do that now.

1. Visit chrome://extensions in your browser (or open up the Chrome menu by clicking the icon to the far right of the Omnibox: The menu's icon is three horizontal bars. and select Extensions under the Tools menu to get to the same place).

2. Ensure that the Developer mode checkbox in the top right-hand corner is checked.

3. Click Load unpacked extension… to pop up a file-selection dialog.

4. Navigate to the directory in which your extension files live, and select it.

Alternatively, you can drag and drop the directory where your extension files live onto chrome://extensions in your browser to load it.

If the extension is valid, it'll be loaded up and active right away! If it's invalid, an error message will be displayed at the top of the page. Correct the error, and try again.

Firefox

Firefox is a little more complicated. In order for the sync storage to work, you need to have an applications key in the manifest.json file, with an email address as the value for "gecko". Something like this:

"applications": {
  "gecko": {
    "id": "[email protected]"
  }
}

Follow the instructions on this site for getting it installed locally: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Your_first_WebExtension

Open "about:debugging" in Firefox, click "Load Temporary Add-on" and select any file in your extension's directory
