How to Use the Rebrandly Firefox Extension The Rebrandly Firefox Extension allows you to instantly create, brand, and share custom short URLs directly from your browser toolbar. Instead of copying a long link, navigating away to an external dashboard, and manually shortening it, this add-on turns any page you are actively viewing into a branded asset with just one click.
Using custom short links (e.g., yourbrand.link/sale) instead of generic, cryptic links increases your brand identity, improves link recall, and boosts your click-through rates. 🛠️ Step 1: Install the Extension
Before you can start shortening links on the fly, you need to add the extension to your Firefox browser: Log into your account on the Rebrandly Dashboard. Navigate to the Apps page from your dashboard menu.
Click on Get Firefox Extension to open the official add-on page.
Alternatively, search for the extension directly via the Mozilla Add-ons Marketplace. Click the blue Add to Firefox button.
When the browser prompt pops up asking for permissions, click Add to confirm. 🔑 Step 2: Set Up and Connect Your Account
Once installed, the Rebrandly icon will appear in your Firefox toolbar. Click the Rebrandly icon in your browser toolbar.
Select Login and enter your credentials to link the extension to your account.
Choose your default configurations: Select your preferred active workspace, the default custom domain you want to use, and your preferred back-half styling template. 🔗 Step 3: Create and Customize Branded Links
With the configuration complete, you can brand links in seconds while browsing:
Navigate to the page: Visit the article, product page, or website you want to share.
Trigger the extension: Click the Rebrandly icon in your toolbar.
Automatic Generation: A small popup menu will instantly appear featuring an automatically generated branded short link.
Swap Custom Domains: If you have multiple custom domains, click the drop-down menu in the popup to switch to a different domain name.
Edit the Back-Half: Click into the keyword field to change the “slashtag” (the text after the /) to a memorable keyword that describes the content. 📈 Step 4: Maximize Advanced Features
The Firefox extension includes several powerful shortcuts inside the popup to help manage and track your links without leaving the page:
Add UTM Parameters: Click the UTM option to attach tracking tags (source, medium, campaign) to monitor your marketing campaigns seamlessly.
Generate a QR Code: Instantly create a downloadable and resizable QR code for your newly generated branded link, making it perfect for print media or slide decks.
Quick Copy & Share: Click the copy button to instantly save the link to your clipboard, or click the built-in social icons to post it directly to your social media channels.
Real-Time Character Counter: Keep an eye on the character counter inside the creation module to ensure your link stays clean, concise, and fully visible on social platforms.
