Yandex Maps by KakTak.Net

Yandex search for places and routes in Mozilla Firefox: the Yandex Maps extension adds map search to your browser. Find places, addresses and businesses straight from the address bar, with the @maps keyword, or in one click from the toolbar, on desktop and Android. Found the place - build a route to it on the map that opens.

More Yandex search extensions for Mozilla Firefox

• Yandex Search Engine - Yandex search across the whole web, the @ya keyword.
• Yandex Shopping - Yandex search for shopping: products and prices, the @tovary keyword.
• Yandex Images - Yandex image search, the @images keyword.
• Yandex Video - Yandex video search, the @video keyword.

Why you might want it

• Straight to the map. An address, a cafe, a pharmacy or a metro station opens on Yandex Maps, not in general results.
• Handy for addresses from messages and sites. Copy an address, paste it after @maps, and see it on the map.
• No extra steps. You do not have to open Maps in a separate tab and look for the search field there.

What the extension does on desktop

• Adds Yandex Maps to the Firefox list of search engines.
• The @maps keyword for a one-off search from the address bar: @maps pharmacy nearby.
• A toolbar button: click it on any page, type a query, get the result in a new tab.
• Yandex suggestions in the address bar as you type.

On installation Firefox asks whether to make Yandex Maps your default search engine. If you search for more than places, decline: the @maps keyword and the toolbar button work either way. You can change the choice at any time in Firefox settings, section Search.

Yandex search for places and routes in Firefox: how to add it and how to remove it

• How to add Yandex Maps to Mozilla Firefox. Install the extension - it adds Yandex Maps (Яндекс Карты) to your list of search engines. There is nothing to set up in Firefox by hand.
• How to search the map from the address bar. Type @maps, a space and your query, for example @maps pharmacy nearby. Or click the extension button on the toolbar.
• How to remove Yandex Maps from Firefox. Remove the extension - the search engine disappears from the list, and nothing else in Firefox changes.

On Android

• Quick search from the extension button in the menu.
• Step-by-step instructions for adding Yandex Maps to your search engines by hand.

Firefox for Android does not let extensions add search engines. On a phone you add it by hand, once - the extension shows you how and gives you the string to copy.

Privacy

• The extension requests no permissions and does not collect your data. Your query and suggestions go only to Yandex, exactly as when you search on its site.
• A welcome page opens after installation and after an update. There is no other background activity.

Partner links

• The welcome page and the settings contain a labelled block, "Support the extension author", with partner links to Yandex services, including an offer with a bonus of up to 1100 ₽.
• Following them is optional and does not affect search. If you use one, the author receives a reward from Yandex at no cost to you.

• Need regular Yandex search? There is a separate extension for that: Yandex Search Engine.

• This is an independent extension, not developed by Yandex.
