Open `PureBrowser` and type **//about:config//** into location bar and hit Enter, a warning will popup:
{F32076, size=full, alt=ff1}
Click !!I'l be careful, I promise!!! button, and type **//useragent.compat//** into the search bar, then double-click the preference to change its value to `true`:
{F32078, size=full, alt=ff2}
In recent versions of PureBrowser this is already set to `true` so you don't have to change it.
You will also have to change your [useragent string](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_agent#Format_for_human-operated_web_browsers) to install Firefox addons.
To do this, open **//about:config//**, right-click, select //New// -> //String// , enter `general.useragent.override`, and enter `Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0.2` as a string value. Then, click "Okay" and reload the page.
