Yandex elements for firefox 8.21. Yandex Elements are not installed - how to install Yandex Elements

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. Today we will talk about Yandex Bar - a popular extension (panel) for . Once upon a time, this was a completely useless panel that offered little to both the average Internet user and the webmaster.

But now, in my opinion, Yandex Bar has grown out of children’s pants and can be considered as a rather convenient and complete tool that increases the convenience of surfing the Internet and which will be useful to a certain extent even for webmasters.

Although, of course, all of the above does not apply to all versions of Ya.Bar that you can download. For example, for the Opera and Chrome browsers, this panel is unlikely to be useful to webmasters, because there is not much of what is present in the full-featured versions, which are intended for installation as Internet Explorer. I don’t work with Safari, so I can’t say anything about the functionality of the Yandex Bar version for this browser.

Recently, Ya.bar was renamed to , but even the numbering of versions of this add-on for popular browsers continued. There are not many changes in Elements compared to the previous version of this extension, but they still exist. Read more in the article at the link above.

Why does the Yandex search engine need a Bar (Elements)?

Previously, I had a subconscious question, why do search engines go out of their way and try to add more and more free services in addition to regular search, and why are they trying to almost forcefully impose their panels, all kinds of bars, free programs on us, ordinary users? (for example, which is in your browsers and default search).

Basically, the box just opens. The Bar, Google Toolbar, and Bing Bar are needed for two main reasons. Firstly, it will tightly tie you to your search engine through the search form and all these additional services, which can be accessed from these panels.

Secondly, they simultaneously solve for themselves (or are trying to solve) another global mega-task - to improve. Probably everyone has already heard about the influence of user factors on promotion. Let’s say that tracking user behavior in search results won’t be a problem, but here’s how track visitor actions directly on the sites?

Here you will get the answer to the question, why such sophisticated (and, probably, expensive to develop and support) visitor counters, like Google Analytics, are positioned as absolutely free (and the same Liveinternet, probably sells its statistics to search engines, otherwise it would not be free).

But not all sites have counters (after all, many webmasters understand how this can result if the quality of the resource is not high enough), which is why search tools such as Yandex Bar are needed. It must be useful to users, otherwise it will not be installed, but among other things, it collects data about their behavior. Those. Thus, Yandex actually recruits free testers, thereby increasing the quality of its search results and the level of its income.

In general, search engines, just like you and me, dear readers, are fighting for a place in the sun, i.e. for the banal. Well, it, just like for us, ordinary webmasters, will be directly proportional to the resulting income.

After all, search engines (at least Google and the RuNet mirror) earn up to 90 percent of all money from contextual advertising (they publish in their search results and Adwords, respectively). True, you and I, dear readers, unlike them, have a much larger assortment, but, of course, on a much smaller scale.

Yandex Bar (in its new name it is called Elements and a link to a description of the differences between these two applications is given at the beginning of this publication) is now installed on many RuNet users, and most of them did not download it specifically, but simply forgot to uncheck the corresponding boxes when installing which - a free program that has entered into an agreement with Yandex or was purchased by it outright (ala, Punto Switcher, the link to which I provided just above).

But nevertheless, now you can quite consciously download and install Yandex bar for your browser (versions for Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer are more functional) and not regret what you have done.

Download and install Yandex Bar for Mozilla, Explorer, Opera and Chrome

After you click on the “Install” button, Mazila may ask you for permission to install this extension, and after your approval, Yandex Bar will begin downloading, then you will be asked about your desire to install this application:

What is noteworthy is that after renaming the Bar, instead of one add-on, two will be installed at once: the ones I have already described and, in fact, the Elements.

After installation, you will be prompted to restart Firefox to activate the installed application. A prudent search engine will ask you to agree to the user agreement in order to avoid excesses and will offer to make Yandex.ru the default page, and your search as the default option.

As I said just above, you will be asked to agree to use your data about what resources you visit and how much you liked everything there. Of course, this is not done to track you (I don’t think that the information collected is personalized in any way), but the search engine really needs this information to improve the quality of its search.

Afterwards, at the top of the Mozilla window, you will see the Yandex Bar (Elements) panel, and additional buttons will also appear on the right side of the address bar:

Elements but now they will look a little different. The main informers will be located to the right of the search bar, and a strip will appear just below where you can drag additional buttons when setting up this panel (see just below in the text):

Next on the Yandex Bar are your profile buttons and the search engine informer. Mail with the number of new letters, as well as buttons for going to the page, adding a page opened in the browser to Ya.Bookmarks and a button leading to a page with additional widgets and buttons. It’s about the last button, or rather about adding new buttons, that we’ll talk in a little more detail.

Yes, Ya.bar also adds two icons to the address bar, shown in this picture:

When you click on the first “Address Bar Corrector” button, you seem to block the keyboard layout that you currently have selected in the operating system. Those. even if you select Russian for typing, Latin letters will still be entered in the address bar. Probably, this may seem convenient to some, but personally I don’t care.

But I liked the second button of the i.bar “Show in an easy-to-read form”, because it actually acts as a “Print page” button, which allows you to present web pages in an easy-to-read form (removing everything unnecessary).

Many people don’t like to read from the screen, and they don’t always have time for it, so by printing a page with a minimum of graphics, you can significantly save on printer ink. Perhaps there is still no button to transfer to, but for this purpose you can use and.

Other buttons and widgets for Yandex Elements

So, find the additional buttons you need and click on “Install” located just below, and once again duplicate your desire in the pop-up window:

After that, in the same pop-up window you will be asked to make preliminary settings for displaying new buttons on the Yabar panel and click the “Save” button after completing these manipulations:

That's it, the buttons will appear on the panel. If you are not satisfied with something (for example, their position relative to others in the Yandex Bar line), then you can go to the settings (gear-shaped button) and make the shuffles you need, and also, if desired, change the order of their appearance to panels:

The “Ya.Webmaster” set of buttons allows you to quickly access this useful service directly from the bar panel, as well as view some indicators of your sites (if you have created separate buttons for them).

There is also an expanded set of buttons for Ya.Money and many other buttons for Ya.Bar, but it’s up to you to decide what to use and what not. And in general, I would not classify the use of Yandex Bar as a mandatory attribute, because this panel still does not meet all the requirements of a webmaster, although in combination with other extensions for the Mozilla Firefox browser it has a right to exist. IMHO.

Differences between Elements and Bar for Chrome, Mazila, IE and Opera

Download the latest version of Elements you can on this Yandex page by accessing it from the browser where you are going to install this add-on:

Actually, after installing this extension in the Google Chrome and Opera browser, you will see an Items button in the upper right corner, displaying the number of letters in your mailbox and opening many other tabs when clicked, and in the address bar you will see a button that allows you to activate and configure the word translator on the page opened in the browser:

In the case of Opera, however, the translator button will not be located in the address bar, but also in the upper right field. Default, translation of words on the page opened in the browser will be carried out by moving the mouse cursor to it and holding CTRL on the keyboard, although this operation can be simplified:

I found this option of Yandex Elements quite convenient, especially if a complete translation of the page is not required, but you just need to look up the meanings of some words:

Well, of course, in the browser where you installed Elements, if you open a new empty tab, it will display Yandex bookmarks, which you are free to customize to your taste and color preferences.

And the main difference between Elements and the Bar is that in the new panel it is now possible to enter search queries not in a separate form, but directly in the address bar (saves useful browser space), and along with the addresses you have already typed before, and will appear Yandex search suggestions:

It looks especially wonderful in Chrome (the brainchild of Google). But personally, for more than ten years I have been mainly using Yandex search and all these violent actions of the Runet mirror suit me quite well (a flag in their hands, a drum around their neck).

In Internet Explorer (IE) and Mozilla Firefox, the Yandex Elements panel will look a little different and its functionality will be a little wider:

The buttons that will be displayed on the Elements panel can be selected in the settings of this extension. To do this, from the Firefox button menu - Add-ons - "Extensions" tab - "Settings" button opposite "Elements":

The settings window almost completely replicates the similar Yandex Bar settings window for Mazila Firefox:

I have nothing new to add compared to what I wrote about the Bar. I’ll just say that I don’t understand Yandex’s desire to constantly change everything, often losing what’s useful for which many users used their browser add-ons.

Good luck to you! See you soon on the pages of the blog site

To work on the Internet to be productive, you need to properly organize your browser. First of all, you need to make sure that all the necessary bookmarks and other information are always at hand. It is for these purposes that they are developed Yandex elements for the Mozilla Firefox browser, which will be discussed further.

Yandex elements include a set of useful solutions for working in the browser. This necessarily includes Visual Bookmarks, as well as components for viewing the current weather in your city, traffic levels and incoming letters (if you use Yandex email).

Installing Yandex Elements.

1. First, you need to download the installer from the link at the end of the article.


2. In some versions of Firefox, the browser may try to block the installation of the add-on, requiring you to click the Allow button.


3. As soon as the add-on is downloaded, Firefox will require you to confirm the installation of Yandex Elements again for security reasons.


4. To complete the Elements installation process, the browser must be restarted.


5. Next, Yandex will notify you about the successful installation and offer to activate other functions, which you can refuse by simply unchecking the boxes. Ready.


During the installation of Yandex Elements, 2 add-ons will be installed in your browser: “Visual Bookmarks” and “Yandex Elements”. It’s worth telling more about Visual Bookmarks.

Visual bookmarks is a simple add-on for Mozilla Firefox that allows you to display your bookmarks and frequently visited pages in a convenient way. It has a fresh, modern design that fits perfectly into the minimalistic interface of the Fire Fox.


By default, visual bookmarks are based on your popular web resources, and popular Yandex sites and services have also been added.

To edit the list of bookmarks, hover your mouse over the top right part of the bookmark to open the hidden control menu. With it, you can pin a bookmark (it will remain in its place), change the site address, or completely delete the bookmark.


In addition, you can move bookmarks in the order that suits you, with the exception of pinned ones. To do this, you need to hold down any bookmark with the mouse button and move it to any area.


To add new bookmark tiles, select the “Add Bookmark” menu at the bottom of the screen.

As you can see, the visual bookmarks interface is largely driven by the background image. Yandex has provided several more interesting options for background images that can be viewed and applied in the “Settings” menu.

If none of the high-quality wallpaper options suit your needs, you can always upload your own background by selecting the "Download" button.


From the same Settings menu, you can access additional settings by expanding the More Options submenu. Here you can remove the address bar of the Yandex search engine, display Firefox bookmarks as a horizontal bar at the top of the window, and also send statistics on the use of Visual Bookmarks and receive other interesting offers from Yandex.

Now let's return directly to other elements of Yandex. If, after installing the add-ons, you pay attention to the Firefox header, you will notice the appearance of new icons. The icons will tell you about the number of new letters, the level of traffic jams in the city and the weather.


If you click on any icon, it will expand a detailed menu. In the case of mail, you can read new incoming letters; the expanded traffic level icon will show a map of the city with roads that are marked in three colors. The weather icon will tell you about weather changes during the day, and also, if necessary, show the forecast for the next 10 days.

Bottom line. Yandex has presented a really interesting and useful solution for Mozilla Firefox. Visual bookmarks are an extremely convenient and beautiful addition that many users love. Other Yandex services will allow city residents to quickly receive all the necessary information without going to the website.

This is an additional toolbar that helps you work on the Internet:
-Convenient and fast search
-A set of useful tools
-New events on Yandex services
-Quick access to the main sections of the Mnogo.ru website
-Mnogo.ru bonuses in one click

Which Yandex Elements to choose
Yandex Elements of Mnogo.ru are available for users of Windows XP, Vista and 7 operating systems for Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox browsers; users of Mac OS 10.5.8 and higher can use Elements with the Mozilla Firefox browser.
For users of Windows XP, Vista, 7 for Internet Explorer and for the Mozilla Firefox browser - you need to download the version of Yandex Elements from this. If there are problems with the installation, you can try installing Yandex Elements in the .xpi extension
All Mac OS and Linux users can install Mozilla Firefox and install the xpi version as an addon
You just need to take a file with your mouse, saved, for example, on the desktop, then drag it to the open windows panel, point it at the open Firefox window, wait for the window to open and, hovering the cursor over the window space, release the mouse button.

I have an Internet Explorer browser, I downloaded Yandex Elements - there is no Mnogo.ru button
In Windows XP, Vista, 7, if after installing Elements using the suggested files the button does not appear, then you should check whether you have installed the Elements themselves (look in the browser and find Elements in it). It is also important to remember that Internet Explorer 9 does not have Yandex Elements by default after installation. In order for it to be activated, you need to enable it at the bottom of the browser by answering the browser question positively. This is the architecture of the Internet Explorer 9 browser - all browser add-ons require installation confirmation. If the Bar still exists after all of the above, but the Mnogo.ru button still does not appear on it, you should install it separately.

I have a Mozilla Firefox browser, I downloaded Yandex Elements - there is no Mnogo.ru button.
In Windows XP, Vista, 7, if after installation the button does not appear, then you should check whether the Elements themselves are installed (look in the browser and find Elements in it. If after installation Elements still does not appear, it should be installed from, and then install the button separately.

I use a different browser - how can I receive bonuses?
Yandex elements for Opera, Safari and Chrome exist, but, unfortunately, these browsers do not support the ability to add a “Mnogo.ru” button. Therefore, you can always receive bonuses using Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox browsers

When installing Yandex Elements, the computer gives an error
As a first solution, try installing Elements in a different .xpi file format by downloading it. If it is not installed from one link, it can be installed from another. If both files are not installed, then the latest version of the elements may already be installed on your system. If this is the case, then you should only install the button itself. To do this you need to download the button.

After downloading Yandex Elements, the "Mnogo.ru" button was not installed
Perhaps your screen resolution is small and all the Elements do not fit, in this case you see arrows on the right, if you click on them, there will be a button “Mnogo.ru” and everything that does not fit.
We advise you to increase the resolution on your monitor until the "Mnogo.ru" button appears in Elements. Then you can click on it.
If everything is fine with the screen resolution, and the Mnogo.ru button is not on the toolbar, then go to and the button will be installed automatically. If after the above steps the Mnogo.ru button still does not appear, then write to us, we will individually analyze your problem. Please indicate your browser, operating system and Mnogo.ru card number.

What should I do if I updated my browser to a newer version?
If Yandex Elements stops working after this, you should update them to the latest version compatible with the new browser from the page. If the browser is updated (that is, the older version is replaced by a newer version), then the button should work. If the browser is replaced by another (for example, it was Internet Explorer, now it is Opera), then if it is not Firefox, Elements with the “Mnogo.ru” button will not work in it. That is, Elements can be downloaded for any browser, but the “Mnogo.ru” button is only available in IE and FF. If the button disappears after the update, you should install it

I can’t download Yandex Elements
Write to us at , we will individually analyze your problem. Please indicate your browser and Mnogo.ru card number.

I have a different operating system installed - how can I receive bonuses?
You can install Elements in the Firefox browser, which runs on both Mac OS and various versions of Linux. To do this, you need to run the xpi version of the installer directly from the browser. Or, if for some reason you are unable to install Elements in this way, you can use the Firefox browser to go to, download the latest version of Elements, and then install the "Mnogo.ru" button using the installation button.

I have a problem that is not on this list
Ask your question - we will definitely help!

Many users are skeptical about services built into the browser. Among them was Yandex.Bar. And by the way, this is a rather convenient element that greatly simplifies the work of an active Internet user.

Why did Yandex.Bar exist? But because at the end of 2012 the company decided to replace it with Yandex.Elements, which are still designed to simplify working with the browser and the Internet, but at the same time have new functionality that will certainly interest a new audience.

Let's see what replaced Yandex.Bar and whether it is worth installing in your browser, for example, in Mozilla Firefox. Yandex elements will help:

• enter your request directly into the address bar;
• translate entire pages and individual words in one click;
• receive information about traffic jams and weather specifically for your city;
• receive up-to-date information about messages not only in email, but also in social networks;
• use visual bookmarks;
• protect yourself from sites that can harm your PC.

Let's take a closer look at the capabilities of Yandex Elements.

Visual bookmarks

This element allows you to quickly access your favorite and frequently visited sites. These bookmarks can be seen when you open a new tab in the browser. If you want to add a site yourself, you can do this at any time.

Also, if you use Yandex search, the search string is adapted to any layouts and typos when typing a query.

It is possible to change the background of visual bookmarks, so that the new tab is not only informative, but also pleasant to view. You can choose a ready-made picture or install your own.

Visual bookmarks contain buttons for accessing recently closed tabs and browsing and download history.

Disk

Saving to disk is very simple - just point at the picture or text instructions and click on the disk icon, and the file will be immediately saved in the cloud storage. No saving on your PC and then uploading to Yandex.Disk. Everything is done in one click.

Safety

Yandex Elements has an anti-virus system that prevents you from visiting infected sites. Please note that they can be not only fraudulent sites, but also those that you previously trusted. After all, sometimes even sites with a positive reputation are attacked by cybercriminals.

The site also notifies you about the transition to duplicate sites, the name of which repeats the name of the original sites. On duplicate sites, nothing awaits users other than a stolen login and password, and Yandex helps avoid navigating to such malicious web pages.

Weather

You can find out the weather both for the current time and for several days in advance. For a detailed forecast, just click on the corresponding icon and see the temperature for today, tomorrow or for a longer period.

Traffic jams

A button with a traffic light and a number in it shows the current level of traffic jams in points. By clicking on a button, you can get a map of your city and find a convenient path for plotting your route. You can also add a permanent route to see traffic jams on it and calculate the approximate travel time. This is especially true for those who travel by car to work and home along the same route.

Mail

The envelope on the toolbar displays the number of new unread emails. By clicking on the button, you can view letters, read them, delete them, or reply. And to do this, you don’t need to log into your email via a separate web page.

Users of multiple mailboxes can switch between them directly from the toolbar.

All notifications about new messages appear instantly - there is no need to update anything, as the Element does this automatically.

Translations

When reading a text in a foreign language, you can understand all the words except one. And to translate it, you don’t need to open a new page with an online translator. It is enough to select the required fragment of text and get its translation. If one word is being translated, you can consult the dictionary entry.

Instant notification of messages, events and comments from Facebook and VKontakte will help you stay up to date with all events.

As you can see, Yandex Elements is a rather useful thing that does not interfere with working with the Internet at all, but on the contrary, simplifies it.

Yandex elements is an extension for Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Internet Explorer browsers, which makes working with Yandex services and the Internet more comfortable:

Combines address and search lines: in a single line you can enter not only website addresses, but also search queries;
provides quick access to Yandex services and popular social networks;
helps you quickly navigate to frequently visited sites using visual bookmarks.

• The functionality of Yandex Elements varies depending on the browser used:
  Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer;
  Chrome;
  Opera.

Ease of expansion Yandex elements appreciated by many. And for good reason. Everything is before your eyes - from new messages in mail and social networks, to quick access to the Yandex Money button, as well as webmaster tools.

Where did Yandex Elements go?

Nowhere. Just in version Mozilla Firefox 56.0, released in September-October 2017, the developers removed from there the possibility of compatibility with the extension Yandex elements. The motivation for this stupidity was simple: “There is no technical possibility to implement the toolbar” .

Apparently, the issue is not a lack of technical capability or the hands-on behavior of the developers, but a desire to force users to Yandex.Browser with its poor functionality.

How to return Yandex Elements?

In short - roll back Mozilla Firefox 56.0 to version 55.0 and block forced browser updates - everything will be restored.

1. First, download the version of Mozilla Firefox 55.0 we need

Mozilla Firefox 55.0 download page

Language selection

Click the button [Install Yandex Elements];
in the dialog that appears, select Allow ;
wait for the distribution to finish loading;
select in dialogue Install now and follow the installation instructions.

Yandex elements will appear after restarting the browser.

4. Block attempts to automatically update Mozilla

This should be done so that when you next load your browser, it will not be updated to the latest version, in which Yandex Elements will stop working. Let me remind you that already in version 56.0 this extension is blocked.

To do this, open the browser menu, select [Settings], go to page [Advanced] and enter the submenu [Updates]. Here in the checkbox you should select the option: "Never check for updates" .

Blocking installation of updates in Mozilla Firefox

5. Let's add Yandex Elements to the list of trusted add-ons

Otherwise, at one point Mozilla may simply block access to the extension, perceiving it as unwanted.

• Let's go to [Settings] → [Protection];
• press [Exceptions] in point [Are common];
• in the window that opens [Allowed sites - Installing add-ons] enter the website address: https://element.yandex.ru
• press [Allow].

Adding Yandex Elements to the list of trusted sites

After that Yandex elements will appear in the list of trusted add-ons in the lower table of the same window. Do not forget save changes.

That's practically all.

Setting up the Yandex Elements extension

Customizing the extension to suit your tasks is not at all difficult - simply by dragging it from one window to another (from the available buttons to the current buttons).

You can do it another way (also by dragging) from the settings window directly to the desired place in the toolbar. You can get to this window from the browser menu:

Open the browser menu;
Click on the button [+ Edit] in the lower left corner of the pop-up settings window.

Adding Yandex Elements buttons by dragging directly into the toolbar

After moving the buttons, press the green button [Exit Settings](bottom right of the menu window).

In the toolbar, the buttons you select will look something like this:

Yandex Elements buttons in the toolbar

You can view information about the installed Yandex Elements extension, as well as find a direct link to the product page here:

Page with information about the Yandex Elements extension

You can check the browser version installed on your computer from the browser menu:

Open the browser menu;
Click on the button with a question mark [?] at the very bottom of the settings window that pops up
In the next pop-up window, click on the lowest item "About Firefox" .

Page with information about the current version of Firefox

I hope you understand why don't check for updates and install a more recent version of the browser? If you have version 55.0 installed, and you have done everything described above, then Yandex elements are not going anywhere. Otherwise, look for the title “How to return Yandex Elements?” at the beginning of the article and go through all the points.

And, finally, how to remove unnecessary Mozilla Firefox 56.0 without “tails” in the registry that remain after removal with the standard uninstaller. Complete removal should be done using special programs, both paid and free. One of the free, but very effective - IObit Uninstaller, which can be downloaded from this link from the official website of the developer.
