Installing the Firefox Plugin
To install the Firefox extension, please go to BitWarden.com, and click the “Download” link at the top, then scroll down a bit and look for “Web browsers”. Please click “Firefox” to be sent to the page to add the extension to Firefox.
On the extension page, please click the “Add to Firefox” button.
You will be prompted to confirm that you want to install the Bit Warden extension to Firefox. Don’t let the wording here scare you. It simply means Bit Warden will be able to recognize important information in web forms and logins you fill out and it will offer to save that information for you.
The extension is now installed, but you still need to login to your Bit Warden account to use it.
Please click the Bit Warden extension icon in the upper right hand corner of Firefox.
Next, please click the “Log In” button.
You can now enter your Bit Warden username and password. You’ll also need to complete a CAPTCHA (select 4 float planes, for example).
From now on, when you visit that website you want to log into, please left-click the Bit Warden icon in the Extensions area in the upper right-hand corner of Firefox, and click either the “username” or “password” symbols to copy that information to your Windows clipboard temporarily (it will be automatically removed from the clipboard shortly) and paste that into the username or password field as needed.
You can now visit any website you want to login to.
That’s how you can install and use the Bit Warden Firefox Plugin (Add-on). For the next post in this series, please check out How To Install and Use the Bit Warden Extension for Google Chrome.
