Now the Yandex company offers its users not only high-quality search and reliable mail, but also a number of other useful services, which help the user to work and spend their leisure time on the Internet. For convenience and quick access to all tools, the developers have released Yandex elements for Mozilla Firefox and other browsers in the form of plug-ins (you can read about the extension for Google Chrome, and for Internet Explorer).

In this article I will introduce the reader to the plugin only for the Firefox browser. For all other browsers, working with the add-on is similar in its principles. Yandex elements for Firefox combine a number of functionality that is available on the portal search engine. However, the plugin allows you to have everything at hand and quickly access your mail, disk, music and pictures from Yandex.

The plugin also includes a number of additional functions, which make working with the browser even easier. The first thing I would like to highlight is visual bookmarks, which replace the standard empty browser new tab window. Additional, but no less important, services include:

• weather;
• traffic jams;
• translations;
• social media.

All this is combined in one installation and enhanced with security measures from Yandex developers.

Installation steps for the Yandex Elements add-on

In order to install Yandex elements for Firefox, you need to go to the page https://element.yandex.ua/ in your browser and click the “Install” button. It is worth noting that if you get to this page from another browser, for example, from, the system will automatically offer to install the extension specifically for the Chrome browser.

No preparatory operations are required for installation, just click “Install now”.

After restarting to the right of address bar new icons will appear.

Yandex elements for Mozilla require user authorization on their services. To do this, click on the email icon and you will be immediately redirected to the authorization page. Enter the required data in the appropriate fields and click “Login”.

After authorization, the mail page on the Yandex service will open, and the quantity will be displayed next to the mail letter icon in the Yandex elements unread emails. From now on, you can manage your mail without going to the mail page. Authorization will immediately occur in the Yandex Disk system. By clicking on the Disk icon, you can view the latest files saved in the system.

Setting up additional services in the Yandex Elements panel

In the Yandex Elements panel for Mozilla, it is also possible to set up a quick transition:

• on social networks Odnoklassniki, VK page, Facebook;
• mail services Rambler, Mail.Ru, Gmail;
• Yandex services such as Metrica, Direct, Money.

To configure these services, you need to right-click on the list of elements and select “Configure elements (City)”. Or, in the browser menu, select “Add-ons” and in the “Extensions” sub-item, click “Customize” in the “Yandex Elements” line. For each social network you can configure which sub-items will be displayed in the elements. For example, in the “My VK Page” tab you can choose to display messages, a list of friends, groups, and other things. For each postal service and the social network will also need to be authorized.

It is also worth describing the “Visual Bookmarks” add-on, which will be installed along with the main elements of Yandex. Now, when you open a new tab in Firefox browser You will have access to quick search, as well as instant transition to your favorite sites. You can add a maximum of 25 visual bookmarks. However, this should be enough for full-fledged work and relaxation, and will save you from wandering through bookmarks in search of the right site, if you always need it at hand.

Advice! At the bottom right of the same page you can configure it appearance, select wallpaper and other options.

If for some reason you need to remove Yandex Elements from Firefox, then this can be done from the extensions panel, where the main settings of the add-on are made. Next to the “Customize” button, which I described above, click the “Delete” button.

After deletion, you need to restart your browser, and its appearance and functionality will be the same.
