Leather has not been available in the Firefox store since November 2023. This means that Firefox users will need to install the Leather extension with the wallet’s source code if they want to access the Leather app.


Chrome, Brave, and Edge users also have the option of installing the Leather extension from a source should they prefer to do so by following these steps:

  4. Toggle on "Developer mode"

  5. Click on "Load unpacked" located under the “Extensions” heading on the top left of the page
