Installation of extensions

There are two ways to install add-ons in Mozilla Thunderbird. You can either install them conveniently via the Add-ons Manager, or install them using XPI files, which must be downloaded manually beforehand.

For both methods, you need to access the add-ons in the Add-ons Manager.

Open the Add-ons Manager via the application menu (for Windows: Alt + X, then Alt + A) and select Extensions from the menu on the left.

The straightforward installation is carried out by searching for the name of the add-on (top right). Installation via downloaded XPI files is carried out by dragging and dropping them into the Add-ons Manager.
