How to send articles to your Kindle from Firefox
If you use Firefox, you may have noticed that Amazon's Send to Kindle extension is only offered for Chrome. Amazon launched a Firefox version back in 2012, but it has since disappeared, and Kindle owners on Reddit were already asking where it went in 2020. The good news: you can still get web articles onto your Kindle from Firefox, for free. This guide covers the options, from no add-on at all to a one-click extension.
Disclosure: we make ArticleFerry, one of the add-ons below. Figures for the other add-ons come from their public Firefox Add-ons listings, checked on 22 October 2026.
The one-time setup every method needs
All the email-based methods rely on two Amazon settings, found under Manage Your Content and Devices → Preferences → Personal Document Settings:
- Your Send to Kindle email address, which ends in
@kindle.com. - Your Approved Personal Document E-mail List. Add the address you (or the add-on) will send from. Amazon ignores mail from addresses that are not on the list.
Our main guide on sending a web article to your Kindle explains both steps in detail.
Option 1: No add-on, using Amazon's web uploader
Amazon's Send to Kindle web page works in any browser, including Firefox. It accepts EPUB, PDF, DOCX, HTML, TXT and image files up to 200 MB. The catch is that you need a file first:
- Print to PDF: open the article, switch on Firefox's Reader View (the page icon in the address bar) to strip the clutter, then Print → Save to PDF. Quick, but PDFs keep a fixed page size, so text can be small on a Kindle.
- Save the page: Save Page As → Web Page, HTML only gives a file Kindle accepts, though it may include menus and footers.
This is fine now and then. For regular use, an add-on saves a lot of clicks.
Option 2: A Send to Kindle add-on for Firefox
These are the most-used options on Firefox Add-ons (AMO) for getting articles to a Kindle. "Daily users" is the average number of people using each add-on per day, as shown by AMO on 22 October 2026.
| Add-on | What it does | Where the work happens | Daily users · rating | Last updated |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Push to Kindle | Click, preview, and it emails the article to your Kindle. Also downloads EPUB, MOBI or PDF. | Push to Kindle's servers | about 3,400 · 4.3★ (75) | April 2023 |
| EpubPress | Bundles several open tabs into one ebook, with optional email delivery. Open-source code. | EpubPress's service | about 1,900 · 4.0★ (55) | June 2026 |
| dotEPUB | Converts a web page into an EPUB or Kindle ebook download. | dotEPUB's service | about 1,500 · 4.6★ (18) | April 2024 |
| ArticleFerry (ours) | Builds a clean EPUB with a cover, then opens Gmail addressed to your Kindle. | Your computer | New | October 2026 |
Push to Kindle is the most popular and the most automatic: it sends the email for you. Its free plan covers 10 articles a month, and its add-on listing says processing happens on its servers. EpubPress is the pick for reading several articles as one book.
Option 3: ArticleFerry, made for privacy
ArticleFerry is our free add-on. It does everything on your computer: it reads the article you are looking at, removes common "Sponsored" and advert blocks inside the text, and packs it into an EPUB 3 file with a cover and images. Nothing is uploaded to our servers, and you do not need an account or your Amazon password.
- Install ArticleFerry from Firefox Add-ons and pin its icon to the toolbar.
- Open Settings in the add-on and enter your
@kindle.comaddress (optional, needed only for the Gmail step). - On any article, click the icon, or right-click the page and choose Send page to Kindle.
- Check the preview. Fix the title or author if you like.
- Click Download EPUB, or Download & open Gmail. Attach the downloaded file to the new message and press Send.
The attach step is manual because Firefox, like every browser, does not let an add-on attach a file to an email. If you would rather never touch a file, Push to Kindle is the more automatic choice. If you want a file you keep and nothing sent to a third-party server, ArticleFerry is built for you.
Get ArticleFerry for Firefox. Free, no account. Also available for Chrome and Edge.
Tips for better results on Kindle
- Send EPUB rather than PDF. EPUB reflows to your font size; PDF does not.
- Name the file well. Amazon often uses the file name as the title in your library, so
Article Title - Author.epubbeatsdownload (3).epub. - Sync your Kindle if the article does not appear within a few minutes, and check the Kindle app as well as the device.
FAQ
Does Amazon make a Send to Kindle add-on for Firefox?
Not any more. Amazon's current browser extension is for Chrome. On Firefox, use Amazon's web uploader or one of the independent add-ons above.
Do these add-ons work on Firefox for Android?
Check each listing: Firefox Add-ons shows whether an add-on supports Android. On a phone, the Kindle app's share option is often the easiest route.
Is it safe to give an add-on my Kindle email address?
Your Kindle address only accepts documents from approved senders, so it cannot be used to spam you. Still, read each add-on's privacy policy. ArticleFerry keeps the address in your browser's local storage and never sends it anywhere.
Can I use these with Firefox forks like LibreWolf or Waterfox?
Most Firefox add-ons install in Firefox-based browsers, but they are tested on Firefox itself. Try it and check the add-on works on a simple page first.
