To be honest I can't really remember how I got it, but (having used it on my
previous Windoze PC) it was one of the first things I put on my squeaky-new
Mac so I was by no means a Mac expert! I think having downloaded Firefox, I
probably did Tools - Extensions - Get Extensions, and it was all there when I
restarted Firefox. (You do have to quit Firefox properly and then restart it
AFAIR). Good luck.
