Hello fellow Selenium Learner , i need help . I am trying to install Selenium IDE , when I am on the download page of " http://docs.seleniumhq.org/download/" , i dont see the selenium IDE section . After googling and checking with few , i got to know now we can download it as Add-on available for Firefox Mozilla .
From the Add-on section i downloaded Selenium IDE Button 1.2.0.

Still i dont see the Selenium IDE under tool , then i downloaded Selenium Expert (Selenium IDE). No luck .

I have restarted my Browser as well after downloading .

Looking for help

Thank you
