Introducing the Instapaper Firefox Extension

Today we’re launching an official Instapaper extension for Firefox!

We’ve been getting a lot of requests from Firefox users to build an extension to match the ones we offer for Chrome, Opera and Safari. Now, we’re happy to roll out the same great saving features for Firefox.

To install the new Firefox extension, open www.instapaper.com/save on Firefox or go to Mozilla’s Add-on page for Instapaper.

Like our other browser extensions, when you find an article or video you want to save, just tap or click once to save it to Instapaper. Other convenient features include:

A keyboard shortcut: A Ctrl+shift+S keyboard shortcut to save the article you’re currently viewing.

A right-click menu option: To save the current page–or any link on the current page–we added an “Instapaper” option to the right-click menu.

More Instapaper save buttons: Now you can “Save to Instapaper” directly from Twitter and Hacker News. Alongside each tweet containing a URL or a Hacker News post, you’ll now see an inline Instapaper save button.

Saving directly to folders: Once your save is confirmed, click the folder icon on the save overlay to direct the article right into one of your folders.

Toggle options: The keyboard shortcut and inline saving options can be toggled on/off.

If you’ve got any questions or feedback, just let us know via support@help.instapaper.com or @InstapaperHelp on Twitter.

Talking Writing, Mental Illness and Turtles with Author John Green

Follow @johngreenwritesbooks on Instagram to keep up with John.

Author John Green (@johngreenwritesbooks) has been writing stories since he was a kid — but knows there’s still room to grow. “Writing isn’t something I feel good at — it’s something I want to get better at,” says John. “I really enjoy the process of trying to find a better way to communicate thoughts and feelings and experiences using scratches on a page. It’s a source of real joy for me.”

John’s most recent novel, “Turtles All the Way Down,” tells the story of a 16-year-old girl who struggles with mental illness. “Part of what has made my own mental illness challenging for me has been that I often feel extremely alone in it and isolated by it,” says John. “I hope the story helps people who are struggling with intrusive thoughts or anxiety disorders feel less alone in that.”

This fall, John and his younger brother Hank (@hankgreen) performed in cities across the United States for the “Turtles All the Way Down” book tour. Watch our story to catch up with them in the San Francisco Bay Area.

#**Go Live with a Friend** Starting today, we’re introducing a fun way to go live with a friend. Now, you can hang out and go live together, whether you’re just doing homework or catching up on your day. Live video helps you share in an authentic way, but sometimes it can be intimidating when you’re on your own. It’s easy to add a guest while you’re broadcasting. Simply tap the new icon on the bottom right and tap “Add” to invite anyone who’s currently watching. Once they join, you’ll see the screen split into two and your friend pop up right below you.

You can remove your guest and add someone else at any time, or they can also choose to exit on their own. Share your live video to stories when your broadcast has ended, or choose “Discard” and your live video will disappear from the app as usual.

When someone you follow is going live with a friend, you’ll see two circles stacked together in your stories bar. You can tap on it to watch, and like and comment as you follow along.

Since introducing live video last November, millions of people have used it to connect with friends and followers in an authentic way. Now, you can have even more fun connecting with people in the moment. To learn more about today’s updates, check out the Instagram Help Center.

These updates are available as part of Instagram version 20 available for iOS in the Apple App Store and for Android in Google Play.

See, that’s what the app is perfect for.
