Now the browser should start with all your favorites in the bookmarks toolbar.

Next click on Tools -> Add-ons

The dialogue should start with Adblock als recommended add-on. Otherwise click on "Get Add-ons"(1) and then in the search box, enter "Adblock" and press enter. Scroll down and click on "Add to Firefox" (2).

Wait until the counter in the popup reaches zero and the "Install" button becomes active and  then click (1) on it.
