Please help; I'm trying to install foxfilter. It says restart required. After allowing firefox to restart, it restarts... and the page I clicked the install link on is still there. Is foxfilter no longer available to be installed? I hope it is still available. :)

When Firefox is restarted, whatever was displayed in the windows/tabs is reloaded. This is normal.

Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager. Hot key; <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> A)

In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select Extensions.

Look for that add-on. Is it listed?
