    • 0:00Open your "Safari" browser on your MacBook.
    • 0:35Go to "mozilla.com"
    • 1:00Make sure the "Download" button is for the ENGLSIH version before clicking it!
    • 1:40Click "continue" to install Firefox.
    • 1:52Drag and drop the Firefox icon into the "Applications" folder. Then double click the Firefox icon to open Firefox!
    • 2:40In FIrefox, go back to the mozilla.com page to install some cool add-ons!
    • 3:17Enter "diigo" in the search box on the add-ons page. (Diigo is a GREAT research tool. More on how to use it later.)

    • 5:46Notice the "Recommended Add-ons" page for more free add-ons for your Firefox. Install whatever you want!
    • 6:04Type "Answers" in your search box and add the "Answers" add-on. Instant pop-up definitions and links to articles about whatever word you click on while holding down the "Alt" key! Great for hard words or names in articles online!

    • 7:47Hide any add-on toolbars by going to Firefox "View > Toolbars" and unchecking the ones you want to hide.
