And most importantly, visual bookmarks are absolutely free and do not pose a threat to your computer.

This solution was developed by Yandex, but can be used in any browser, not just the one released by this company. Next we will talk about installing and using them in mozilla firefox.

You can always save a link to the desired page or resource by clicking on the asterisk in the address bar. In Firefox Quantum, links to the most visited sites are displayed on the new page tab, but it is most convenient to use visual bookmarks for this. They have several advantages:

Where to download and how to install the add-on

There are two resources, where you can download visual bookmarks for Mozilla Firefox: Yandex and browser extension catalog. Next we will talk about where exactly you can find the add-on on each of them.

Page with Yandex Elements

Directory of addons for Mozilla Firefox

In the browser menu, select “Add-ons” (you can also call it by simultaneously pressing the Shift, Ctrl and A keys).
In Firefox Quantum, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the blue button that says “View more add-ons” (you won’t have to do this in the earlier version of Mozilla). Enter the name of the extension in the search bar and install it following the system prompts.

Adjusting individual icons

After installing the addon, you should go to the page with bookmarks (to do this, just create a new tab) and understand its functionality and appearance. The panel already contains icons for several pages, but if you don’t need them, you can select the ones you like best.

To place a block on the panel, click “Add” at the very bottom. You will be asked:

Having made your choice, click “Add signature” . After that, your favorite resource will appear on the bookmarks page.

The settings of each individual block can be adjusted. Hover your cursor over its top right edge and you will see three small icons:

lock (if it is open, the settings of an individual bookmark can be changed, if it is closed - not);
gear (pressing this button opens access to settings);
cross (by clicking on it, you will remove this or that icon from the page).

General extension settings

To access general settings additions, click "Add" at the bottom of the screen. After this, a list of options will open, changing which will affect the appearance of the page with visual bookmarks:

If you want to view the latest news directly on the bookmarks bar, activate the news feed on it. To do this, click the “Enable” button in the Yandex line. Next, select and save the sources from which you want to receive news (they will be divided into several thematic categories). Yandex. Zen will be displayed at the very bottom of the panel, under the icons of individual pages.

To synchronize with your Yandex account, just click “Login” in the upper right corner of the screen and enter your data. There you can also go to the personal profile created in the system.

How to remove an addon

Let's assume that you decide to remove this extension and return to the original interface . In this case, bookmarks are deleted like any other add-on in Mozilla:

in the main menu, select “Add-ons”, and then “Extensions”;
Find the line with Yandex bookmarks and click the “Delete” button in it. This will temporarily disable this extension.

What if you installed them as a third-party application and not as an addon? In this case, deletion can be done using Windows tools:

Find the “Programs” section in the “Control Panel”, and in it - the “Uninstall a program” item;
find the required plugin in the list (but do not accidentally delete Yandex. Browser itself), right-click on it and delete it;
you need to follow the instructions that will appear on the screen.

How to restore visual bookmarks in Firefox

If you find that visual bookmarks have disappeared in Firefox, this is not yet a reason to claim that the browser or add-on has failed. Possible reasons the problems are:

Now you know how to use this Yandex extension. All that remains is to install it in the browser and evaluate the convenience of this solution.

Visual bookmarks from Yandex replace the blank Firefox browser page that appears when opening a new tab. Using visual bookmarks, you can navigate to pre-installed or frequently visited sites in one click. Each bookmark is a miniature picture, which, when clicked, takes you to the desired site.

Installing Visual Bookmarks is quite simple. The algorithm for obtaining is described below of this supplement for Firefox.

Installing Yandex Visual Bookmarks

You can install the add-on directly from the Yandex website.

On the screen with visual bookmarks there is a Yandex search bar, through which you can find any information. It is possible to customize the background. The user can select a picture from the proposed collection or set his own image. To quickly navigate to recent history, downloads, bookmarks and settings, you can use the buttons at the bottom of the screen.

For those who liked the old visual bookmarks from Yandex, I advise you to watch this video on how to install them:

Removing Elements and Visual Bookmarks

If you don't like the add-on, you can remove it at any time. To do this, go to Add-ons in the main menu.

On the left, select Extensions. A list of all installed Firefox extensions will open. Find Visual Bookmarks and Elements in the list. Opposite each extension there are buttons “Disable”, which serves to temporarily disable, and “Delete”, which completely uninstalls the extension.

Click the "Delete" button. Firefox will prompt you to restart to complete the uninstall or cancel the action if the button was clicked by mistake. Click "Restart Now" and the browser will automatically restart and finish removing the add-on.

It’s worth installing Yandex visual bookmarks just because they make it much easier to navigate through the resources you visit. Opera has long had an Express panel, but other popular Internet browsers do not have this installed. Therefore, downloading this application is completely justified. The gadget can be installed on Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome.

What are visual bookmarks?

Did you like the site? Make a bookmark out of it and you can return to it after a week, a month, a year. Now every browser has this feature because it is really convenient. However, bookmarks tend to accumulate and often their number reaches hundreds. Therefore, browser manufacturers have created visual bookmarks, which, unlike the “thieves” of the workspace, are small images of sites that you like.

At the very bottom of your browser's home page there is a "Settings" button. With its help you can change the panels with bookmarks. For example, you can change the number of rectangles, adjust the refresh rate of screenshots, and add a background.

Yandex visual bookmarks for Mozilla Firefox

This version of the application allows you not only to manually add your favorite sites to bookmarks, but now it itself can insert screenshots of the most visited Internet resources into the panel. If you are not satisfied with this state of affairs and you want the most necessary bookmarks to remain in place, then move the mouse cursor over the selected one and use the corresponding icon to pin the bookmark in place. The gear-shaped button is necessary to change the site address. Now you know all the intricacies of visual bookmarks, from installing them to setting them up appearance. We wish you good luck in your work!

Visual bookmarks can be installed in all of today's most popular browsers. This is a very useful and necessary addition for the browser. They are saved in case of reinstallation operating system, they can be synchronized between browsers. All this makes bookmarks convenient and practical for those who like to travel on the Internet.

Working with bookmarks can significantly save time when moving from one page to another. If you like a site, you bookmark it. Then you can come back after some time. Gradually, a lot of such bookmarks accumulate, and it is difficult to remember what site you saved a month ago. Bookmark bars do not help the situation much, as they take up space in the browser. Visual bookmarks, unlike text ones, are more informative - these are small snapshots of sites. They can be sorted and placed into groups by topic. The very first browser that started using bookmarks was Opera. They were called. Users liked them so much that they began to be implemented in other browsers. To bring up the bookmarks bar in Google Chrom and Opera, simply click on the “+” sign at the end of the tab bar and the Quick Bar will appear. You don't have to install add-ons or make settings. Bookmarks can be deleted, moved, added. IN latest versions favorite by many users Google browser Chrom bookmarks began to “remember” visited sites themselves. This is not always convenient and not everyone likes it. Therefore, it is better to install the Speed Dial add-on to manage bookmarks. To do this, type https://chrome.google.com/webstore in the address bar, enter the name of the add-on “Speed Dial” in the search bar, press “Enter”. Then select it in the list that opens, click the blue “Install (Free)” button. Confirm the action – “Add”. Once the installation is complete, click the add new tab button after the most recent one. A window will open with twelve blank bookmarks. Select the first one, enter the address of the desired site and its name, save the result. So edit the required number of visual bookmarks. In version Speed Dial 2, you can add a site logo to the bookmark, selecting it from the standard ones, or specifying your own. A beautiful logo can be found. Unlike Google Chrom and Opera, Firefox does not yet have built-in visual bookmarks. Therefore, you need to install the add-on. The most neutral option is also Speed Dial. Download the add-on from addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/speed-dial/. The page will load, on which click “+ Add to Firefox”. The size of the add-on is small, it will install quickly. Confirm the installation by clicking the "Download Now" button. Restart Firefox. In the window initial setup
