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 have the ability to recognize important information in web forms and logins you fill out and it will offer to save that information for you.
Please click the “Add” button.
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.
