Firefox is not covered here: updates are managed by Mozilla. Open Add-ons and themes (
about:addons) and check for updates there.
🤷🏼 How to update the Mobile FIRST extension (Chrome, Brave & Chromium)
Context
On Chrome, Brave, Edge, Opera and other Chromium browsers, extensions are usually updated automatically in the background (often within a few hours after a release on the Chrome Web Store).
If you do not see a new feature or a fix yet, you can force an update check using the steps below. The procedure is almost the same on every Chromium browser — only the extensions page URL changes.
Step 1 — Open the extensions page
Copy and paste the address that matches your browser into the address bar, then press Enter:
| Browser | Extensions page URL |
|---|---|
| Google Chrome | chrome://extensions |
| Brave | brave://extensions |
| Microsoft Edge | edge://extensions |
| Opera | opera://extensions |
| Vivaldi | vivaldi://extensions |
| Other Chromium | Try chrome://extensions — it often works |
Alternative: click the puzzle / extensions icon (top right), then Manage extensions.
Step 2 — Force extensions to update
On the extensions page, turn on Developer mode (toggle at the top right).Click the Update button that appears at the top left. The browser checks every installed extension for a newer version on the store.
Wait a few seconds, then find Mobile simulator in the list and check the version number under the extension name.
No "Update" button? Your browser may have moved it or hidden it behind Developer mode. In this case the only way to update the extension is to uninstall and reinstall it.
