Adding the Firefox Connect Browser Extension

Edit online

This topic explains how to obtain and add the required IBM Aspera Connect extension to your Firefox browser. The extension is required in each browser you use to interact with Aspera on Cloud.

The Connect extensions are specific to the browser; the procedure for adding an extension to a browser is the same regardless of which OS platform that browser is running on. With a guided install, clicking Install Extension opens the extension link for the browser you are using. With a manual install, be sure to download the extension for the browser you intend to use with Connect.
Important: You must install the Connect app once on your computer. You must install the Connect extension for each browser (except Safari and Internet Explorer) you use to access Aspera on Cloud.

To obtain and install the Connect extension for Firefox, follow the procedure below:

  1. When you see the Connect Welcome screen, click Install Extension. The following page opens:

  2. Click +Add to Firefox. The Add "IBM Aspera Connect"? dialog appears.
  3. Click Add.

    If successful, you'll see the message "IBM Aspera Connect has been added to Firefox."
