How to Add a Barcode in Firefox

A barcode, according to "PC Magazine," is "the printed code used for recognition by a bar code scanner (reader)." Barcodes are very helpful in managing inventory. Computer users who use the Firefox browser can benefit from installing barcode applications in their browser. One such application is the Mobile Barcoder. The Mobile Barcoder, according to Mozilla Corporation, "generates 2D barcodes of URLs and text selections so that you can transfer that information to your mobile easily." Adding a barcode in Firefox involves downloading and installing the Mobile Barcoder.

Instructions

      Visit the Mozilla Firefox add-ons page to download the Mobile Barcoder.

      Wait for Firefox to install the application. Upon installation of the application, Firefox will prompt you to restart your browser; close and restart Firefox. You have successfully added a barcode to Firefox.
