If you already have Firefox ESR, you can safely skip this step. 1. Download the profile release bundle from here. It is a zip file, which contains the profile we will be using with Firefox for our i2p-based browsing. 2. Right-click the i2pbrowser-profile.zip and unzip the the profile into your Documents/Downloads folder by selecting "Extract All." You should be extracting this directly into your "Downloads" Folder, where the zipped file will create it's own subfolder automatically. ![Figure A: Extract All](images/extractall.png) 3.
