Get Extension

The extension has been tested on Firefox 3.0 up through Firefox 3.0.10 on Windows XP, Linux (RHEL 5), and Mac OSX. The extension failed to work properly on a couple OSX machines (10.4 and 10.5), but other similar machines have not had those problems. For complete functionality of the extension, you also need at least the Flash player 9 plug-in.

Installing the extension

The first step in installing the extension is to download the .xpi file from the GiveALink Google Code project. (Further directions can be found there.)

Using the extension

The extension includes three buttons -- one which opens GiveALink.org in the current browser tab, one which opens the sidebar for using most of the extension's functionality, and one for opening a popup for adding or editing the information for the current page in your bookmarks.
