== Install SQLite Firefox add-on ==

SQLite Explorer is a piece of software that lets you browse SQLite databases. It's written as a Firefox add-on.

Even if you already have a browser like Chrome, you'll need the latest version of the Firefox web browser. (You may need to upgrade even if you already have Firefox installed.)

====If you already have Firefox====

Open it, and then go to the Firefox menu (top left of the screen). Select "About Mozilla Firefox."

You'll get a window, like the one below, that shows you what version of Firefox you have. Write down that number!

Now go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/firefox.html the Firefox homepage] and see what the current version of Firefox is. If it's the same major version (such as 3.6 - you can ignore the third part of the number) then you're good. You don't need to upgrade.

If it's a different major version, then you need to upgrade. Download it from the Firefox homepage and double-click to install.

==== If you don't have Firefox yet ====

Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/firefox.html the Firefox homepage] and click the big download button. Once you have the file, double click and follow the instructions to install.

==== Install the SQLite Manager Firefox Plugin ====

Open Firefox, and then go to the Tools menu and select "Add-ons." Click the "Get Add-ons" button at the top. Enter "SQLite" where it says "Search all Add-ons." The first thing that comes up should be SQLite Manager. Click "Add to Firefox" and then follow the instructions to install it.

If you have trouble installing, double-check that your Firefox version is at least 3.6.
