VKify now works in Firefox

Great news for fox fans: VKify is available on Firefox. The signed extension is published in GitHub Releases and installs from an .xpi file.

Every feature — no compromises

This is not a stripped-down build. The Firefox version is built from the same codebase as Chrome, so you get the full VKify toolkit:

  • Themes and video wallpapers
  • Ad and tracker blocking
  • E2E message encryption
  • Downloading videos, stories, photos and albums
  • Activity tracking with notifications
  • A built-in settings page right on vk.com

What we did under the hood

Firefox is stricter about extension APIs and isolates scripts differently from Chromium. We added a thin chrome/browser normalization layer, moved notifications and injected scripts to a schema Firefox accepts, and built a dedicated manifest with a gecko-id. For self-checks, the extension now ships a diagnostics panel with a “Copy report” button.

One extension — four browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Opera. Install it wherever you like.

Already on Firefox? Follow the guide on the VKify site to install the signed release and make VKontakte your own. Edge and Opera still install from the Chrome Web Store.

Your favorite VKontakte extension works on Firefox — the same features as Chrome, from a single codebase. The signed build is now available through GitHub Releases.
