Nothing happens when I click download. Why?

What are the system requirements for using Social+?

SocialPlus is a Firefox extension. You should be using Firefox, google Chrome or Safari 5 as your browser. If you're not already using Firefox, you can click here to download it for free.

What's Firefox?

Firefox is an internet browser, like Internet Explorer. There are many important reasons for using Firefox and even more reasons for using it over Internet Explorer. Firefox blocks pop-ups. In terms of security, Firefox is the reference because it blocks pop-ups and ActiveX and allows you to surf in total security! No need to open 5-6 windows to visit multiple sites. Now there are tabs. Tabs are the future. They combine several windows in one allowing you to move from one window to the next using small buttons at the top of the screen. It's wonderful.
