You will see it in the add-on section in firefox, Tools>add-ons and you will see it in the extensions tab. To use, you go to File and in the menu you will see save link as file and away ya go from there.

Yeah lovely magpie, maggie is her name, she has been with us now for about 3 year or so, lives here all year round, no idea why.
