Contact lists: While you don't need an account to use Firefox Hello, a Firefox Account will let you add, manage and call your contacts directly with just a click. See Create and manage your contacts list on Firefox Hello for more information.

    (Tip: Move the Hello button to your toolbar. For more information, see Where is the Firefox Hello button?)
  2. Click the Email button to send the link to a friend using your default email application, or click Copy and paste the link into another messaging application.
  3. When your friend clicks on the link to start a call, a notification will pop up on your browser:
