When you install an add-on in Firefox, a confirmation dialog box displays with a countdown on the Install button. Many people find this annoying and would like to disable the countdown. However, it is there for good security reasons.

IMPORTANT: The Install button delay countdown is a security precaution to make sure you only install add-ons you trust and to reduce the chance that a malicious website can trick you into installing an add-on without your consent.

You can turn off the countdown, but we don't recommend doing it. Turning off the countdown can increase your risk of installing malicious software without realizing it. You can increase or decrease the countdown time, and we will show you how to do this.
