Hi Markb721, By clicking on that url in your description, there will be a pop up to allow an install.

If you doubleclick on the xpi file, the chosen application would be the Firefox.

Win zip 7 can open zip files, however renaming the extension from zip to xpi will also set you up to install it in the browser.
