Can I install Chrome extensions on Firefox?

How do I import extensions into Firefox?

Select Install Add-on from file... from the menu, then find and select the file. Some extensions place a button in the toolbar after installation. You can remove those or move them into the menu if you want - see Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars.
