Language Reactor on Firefox: What Works (2026)

Quick Answer

No — Language Reactor does not offer an official Firefox extension; it's built for Chrome-family browsers. An unofficial third-party Firefox port exists on Mozilla's add-on store, but it isn't maintained by Language Reactor. If you want a maintained subtitle-learning tool on Firefox, Trancy officially supports Firefox (and has a free tier).

The official answer.

Language Reactor ships for Chrome and Chrome-based browsers. There is no official Firefox version, and users have been requesting one on the Language Reactor forum for years without a release.

The unofficial port — know what you're installing.

A third-party repackaging of Language Reactor exists on Mozilla's add-on store (listed under a modified name by an independent developer). Being unofficial means: it isn't maintained or endorsed by Language Reactor, it can lag behind the real extension when Netflix or YouTube change their players — which happens regularly in this category — and you're trusting a third party's build of an extension that reads your streaming pages. We don't recommend relying on it for anything you care about, and we don't link it for that reason.

The maintained Firefox options.

Trancy officially supports Firefox (and Brave, Chrome, Edge), covers more platforms than Language Reactor — YouTube, Netflix, HBO, Disney+, TED, Coursera, Udemy — and its free tier is the most generous in the category, which makes it the natural Language Reactor substitute for Firefox users. The trade-off to know: no Anki export on any Trancy tier. If Anki export is essential to you, the honest answer is that the serious study tools (Language Reactor Pro, LangPanda, Migaku) are all Chrome-family — meaning a second browser for study sessions may be the pragmatic move: keep Firefox for everything else and run study sessions in Brave (the least-Google Chrome-family option) with the tool of your choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Language Reactor come to Firefox?
No release has been announced; requests on their forum go back years. Don't plan around it.
Is the unofficial Firefox port safe?
It's an independent third-party build — unaudited by Language Reactor and subject to breaking without notice. We don't recommend depending on it.
What's the best Language Reactor alternative for Firefox?
Trancy — official Firefox support, more platforms, free tier. Full comparison: Trancy review.
Do any Anki-export tools work on Firefox?
Yes, one: asbplayer, the free open-source subtitle tool, ships a Firefox extension and creates Anki cards via AnkiConnect — it's the power-user route (you supply subtitle files yourself). Among polished mainstream tools, Language Reactor Pro, LangPanda, and Migaku remain Chrome-family only. See asbplayer vs Language Reactor.
