Firefox Hello will be available to all Firefox Beta users in a few weeks. Even if you don't see the Hello button on your browser, you can still receive calls from Hello users.

Firefox Hello's Guest Mode lets you make free video and voice calls directly from the browser - no account needed! All you need are a microphone, webcam (optional), and Firefox Beta to call friends who are on WebRTC-supported browsers like Firefox, Chrome, or Opera.

Contact lists: While you don't need an account to use Firefox Hello, a Firefox Account will let you add, manage and call your contacts directly with just a click. See Create and manage your contacts list on Firefox Hello for more information.

If the Firefox Hello hello button button is not on your toolbar or menu, see Where is the Firefox Hello button? Once you've moved it to your favorite spot, you're ready to connect with friends.
