How to Install and Use TreeClicks on Firefox (Step-by-Step)

What TreeClicks does

TreeClicks is a browser extension that adds a small donation to participating online stores when you shop, at no extra cost to you, and uses revenue to plant trees.

Before you begin

• Supported browser: Firefox (desktop).
• Assumption: you already have Firefox installed and an active internet connection.

Step 1 — Open Firefox Add-ons

1. Open Firefox.
2. Click the menu button (three horizontal lines) at the top-right and choose “Add-ons and themes” (or press Ctrl+Shift+A).

Step 2 — Find TreeClicks

1. In the Add-ons Manager search box, type “TreeClicks”.
2. From the results, select the TreeClicks extension listing.

Step 3 — Install the extension

1. On the TreeClicks add-on page, click the blue “Add to Firefox” button.
2. A permission prompt will appear. Review requested permissions (typical ones: access to data for the websites you visit and ability to run in the browser).
3. Click “Add” to confirm. Firefox will install the extension and show a confirmation.

Step 4 — Pin and open the extension

1. Click the puzzle-piece (Extensions) icon on the toolbar.
2. Find TreeClicks and click the pin icon to keep it visible on the toolbar.
3. Click the TreeClicks toolbar icon to open its popup.

Step 5 — Create or sign in to your account

1. In the popup, choose to create an account or sign in (if you already have one).
2. Follow on-screen steps: enter email and password or sign in with supported options.
3. Confirm any verification email if required.

Step 6 — Configure basic settings

1. Open the extension popup and click the settings or gear icon.
2. Adjust preferences such as:
   • Auto-activate on supported stores (recommended).
   • Notification preferences.
   • Language or region if available.

Step 7 — Using TreeClicks while shopping

1. When you visit a participating store, the TreeClicks icon will indicate activation (typically a green or highlighted state).
2. Click the icon and enable the offer if it’s not already active.
3. Complete your purchase as usual — the donation is added by the merchant through TreeClicks partnerships at no extra cost to you.

Step 8 — Track impact and earnings

1. Open the TreeClicks popup or account dashboard to view trees planted, donation totals, and a history of supported purchases.
2. Some versions show real-time counters or impact stats in the popup.

Troubleshooting

• If TreeClicks doesn’t activate on a supported site: refresh the page, ensure the extension is pinned and enabled, and verify site permissions.
• If you’re not signed in: log in again and check for email verification.
• Conflicts with other shopping extensions: temporarily disable other extensions and test.

Uninstalling or disabling

1. Open Firefox Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A).
2. Find TreeClicks and choose “Disable” to stop it or “Remove” to uninstall completely.

Quick tips

• Keep the extension updated via Firefox to receive new store integrations and security fixes.
• Use only official add-on store listings to avoid fake extensions.
• If you care about privacy, review the extension’s permissions and privacy policy on its Add-ons page before installing.
