The Firefox Extension
Track your debt snowball without ever opening the full app. The Snow Debt Crusher browser extension lives in your Firefox toolbar โ one click shows your accounts, your payoff order, and a quick way to log a payment, all New York style.
What it does
The extension is a lightweight companion to the web app. It puts your most important numbers one click away and nudges you to keep the momentum going:
- A debt badge on the toolbar icon โ shows your total debt at a glance (e.g.
12K), color-coded by your debt-to-income health so you know how you're doing without opening anything. - Overview tab โ every account with its current balance and paid-off status.
- Snowball tab โ your payoff order with the current FOCUS debt highlighted, so you always know which one to attack next.
- Pay tab โ record a payment in seconds, with quick-fill buttons so you don't have to type.
- Monthly reminder โ a notification on the 1st of each month telling you to update your balances and record a snapshot.
- NY-style motivation โ the same coach you know from the app: hyped when debt drops, a celebration when you pay one off, and a wake-up call when it climbs.
Installing it in Firefox
Install it straight from the official Firefox Add-ons store โ no files to download or set up:
๐ฆ Get it on Firefox Add-ons โ
- Open the listing. Go to the Snow DebtCrusher add-on page on Firefox Add-ons.
- Click "Add to Firefox." Firefox shows the permissions it needs (see below) โ review and confirm.
- Pin it to your toolbar. Click the puzzle-piece Extensions icon, find Snow DebtCrusher, and click the pin so the icon (and your debt badge) stays visible.
- Connect your account. Click the icon to open the popup, then hit Open Full App to link it to your free snowdebtcrusher.com account. Your debts sync into the popup automatically.
- You're set. Click the icon anytime to see your Overview, Snowball, and Pay tabs.
Heads up: the extension needs a free Snow Debt Crusher account to pull in your debts. Payments you record in the popup sync back to the web app in real time. It's built for Firefox today โ if a version for other browsers becomes available later, we'll note it here.
Using the popup
Overview
Your home base. See each account, what's still owed, and which ones are already crushed โ without leaving the page you're on.
Snowball
The payoff plan in miniature. Debts are ordered smallest balance first, and the one marked FOCUS is the one to throw every spare dollar at this month. When it's gone, the next one takes its place automatically.
Pay
The fastest way to stay current. Pick the account, use a quick-fill button (or type an amount), and log the payment. Your balance, badge, and snowball order all update on the spot โ and if you just wiped out an account, expect a celebration.
How it helps you crush debt faster
The whole point is to remove friction and keep you honest:
- It's always visible. The badge turns your total debt into something you glance at all day, which keeps the goal top of mind.
- Logging takes seconds. The easier it is to record a payment, the more consistently you'll do it โ and consistency is what makes the snowball work.
- It tells you exactly what to do next. No deciding, no second-guessing โ the FOCUS debt is the answer.
- It won't let you forget. The monthly reminder makes sure you record a snapshot so your Dashboard chart keeps building.
- It keeps the energy up. Wins get celebrated and slips get called out, right in your browser.
Permissions & privacy
The extension asks only for what it needs to do its job:
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Storage | Saves your debt data locally in the browser. |
| Notifications | Sends the monthly reminder and motivation messages. |
| Alarms | Schedules the 1st-of-the-month reminder and refreshes the badge. |
| Access to snowdebtcrusher.com | Lets the extension and the web app stay in sync. The extension only runs on the Snow Debt Crusher site โ not on other pages you browse. |
The extension declares no data collection. Your debt information is stored locally in your browser, and the extension doesn't track your browsing or send your data anywhere.
Pin that icon so you see your number every single day. Out of sight is how debt sneaks back up. Keep it front and center, log every payment, and keep that snowball rollin'.
