Yandex elements is an extension for Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Internet Explorer browsers that makes working with Yandex services and the Internet more comfortable:
Combines address and search lines: in a single line you can enter not only site addresses, but also search queries;
provides quick access to Yandex services and popular social networks;
helps to quickly navigate to frequently visited sites using visual bookmarks.
- The functionality of Yandex Elements differs depending on the browser used:
Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer;
Chrome;
Opera.
Ease of expansion Yandex elements appreciated by many. And for good reason. Everything is in front of your eyes - from new messages in mail and social networks, to quick access to the Yandex Money button, as well as webmaster tools.
Where have Yandex Elements gone?
Yes, nowhere. Just in version Mozilla Firefox 56.0 released in September-October 2017, the developers removed the compatibility with the extension Yandex elements... The motivation for this stupidity is simple: "There is no technical possibility to implement the toolbar" .
Apparently, the point is not in the lack of technical capability or the handiness of the developers, but in the desire to forcibly drag users to Yandex Browser with its poor functionality.
How do I get Yandex Items back?
In short - roll back Mozilla Firefox 56.0 to version 55.0 and block forced browser refresh - everything will be restored.
1. First, download the required version of Mozilla Firefox 55.0
Mozilla Firefox 55.0 download page
Language selection
Click the button [Install Yandex Items];
in the dialog that appears, select Allow
;
wait for the distribution to finish loading;
select in the dialog Install now
and follow the installation instructions.
Yandex items will appear after restarting the browser.
4. Block attempts to automatically update Mozilla
This should be done so that the next time you load your browser, it will not update to the latest version, in which Yandex Elements will stop working. Let me remind you that already in version 56.0 this extension is blocked.
To do this, open the browser menu, select [Settings], go to page [Additional] and enter the submenu [Updates]... Here, in the checkbox, you should select the option: Never check for updates .

5. Let's add Yandex Elements to the list of trusted add-ons
Otherwise, at one point, Mozilla may simply block access to the extension, perceiving it as undesirable.
- Go to [Settings] → [Protect];
- push [Exceptions] in point [Are common];
- in the opened window [Allowed Sites - Install Add-ons] enter the website address: https://element.yandex.ru
- push [Allow].

Otherwise, look for the title "How do I get Yandex Items back?" at the beginning of the article and go through all the points.
And, finally, how to remove unnecessary Mozilla Firefox 56.0 without "tails" in the registry, which remain after removal by the standard uninstaller. Complete removal should be done using special programs, both paid and free. One of the free, but very effective - IObit Uninstaller, which can be downloaded from this link from the official website of the developer.

How to use Yandex search. It turns out that we don't know a lot about proper cotext search. Data encryption
At one time, Yandex.Bar was a very popular add-on for different browsers. With the development of browser capabilities, this extension turned out to be not very suitable both externally and in functionality. Users needed something new, and then Yandex.Bar was replaced by Yandex.Elements.
The principle remained the same, but the implementation and usability were much higher than in the previous version of the add-on. So, what are Yandex Elements and how do I install them in Yandex Browser?
We want to please you - Yandex Browser users don't even need to install Yandex.Elements, since they are already built into the browser! True, some of them are turned off, and you can quickly turn on those elements that you really need.
Let's find out what Yandex.Elements are, in principle, and how to enable or find them in the browser.
Smart line
A smart line is a universal line where you can enter website addresses, write queries for a search engine. This line displays the most popular queries by the first letters typed so that you can find the answer faster.
You can even write with the wrong layout - a smart line will not only translate the request, but also show the site itself you want to go to.
You can get a response to some requests without even going to the sites, for example, like this:
The same applies to translation - you just need to type an unknown word and start writing "translation", as a smart line will immediately display its meaning in your language. Or vice versa:
By default, smart bar is already enabled and works in the browser.
Please note that some of the listed features (translation and display of the response to a request in the address bar) can be obtained only if the default search engine is Yandex.
Visual bookmarks
Visual bookmarks help you get quick access to your favorite and most visited sites. You can access them by opening a new tab.
In Yandex Browser, when you open a new tab, you can already see visual bookmarks combined with a smart line and a live background. Accordingly, you do not need to install anything additionally.
Safety
You no longer need to worry about how dangerous the site you are about to go to. Thanks to its own security system, Yandex Browser warns you about switching to dangerous sites. These can be both sites with malicious content and fake sites that imitate popular social networks, online banks, and steal your credentials and confidential data.
Yandex Browser already has Protect active protection technology enabled, so you don't need to enable anything additionally.
Translator
Yandex Browser already includes a word translator that allows you to translate words or entire pages. You can translate a word by highlighting it and clicking with the right mouse button. The context menu will immediately load the translation of a word or sentence:
When you are on foreign sites, you can always translate the entire site into your language using the context menu invoked by the right mouse button:
To use the translator, you do not need to include anything extra.
The extension shows you where you can buy a product at a lower price if you are in an online store. Thus, you do not need to waste time searching for the cheapest price of the product of interest on the Internet:
You can enable it by finding the block " Purchases"And including" Advisor»:
You can also customize the advisor (and other extensions) by clicking on " More details"And choosing" Settings»:
Disk
We have already talked about such a useful cloud storage as Yandex.Disk.
By enabling it in your browser, you will be able to save images to Disk by simply hovering your mouse over it to display a save button. Similarly, you can save other files on site pages:
The Yandex.Disk quick access button also allows you to quickly get a link to a saved file:
You can enable Yandex.Disk by looking for the addition “ Disk»:
Music
Exactly the same element "Music" as in Elements. Yandex in this case, alas, is not. However, you can install a remote control for your music. This extension allows you to manage the Yandex.Music and Yandex.Radio player without switching tabs. You can rewind the tracks and add them to favorites, mark "like" or "dislike":
You can enable the add-on in the aforementioned way by finding in the “Yandex Services” block “ Music and Radio»:

Card
A relatively new extension that will be useful to all curious users. When you are on any sites, the service will underline words, the meaning of which you may not really know or understand. This is especially useful when you come across an unfamiliar word or the name of an unfamiliar person, and you do not want to go into a search engine to find information about it. Yandex does this for you by displaying informative tips.
In addition, through the cards, you can watch pictures, maps and movie trailers without leaving the page you are on!

Now you know what Yandex Elements exist and how to enable them in your Yandex Browser. This is much more convenient, since some of the services are already built-in, and among the minor features, you can enable only what you need, and also disable it at any time.
Hello everyone. So Yandex Elements appeared on my computer, I don’t remember where they came from, but apparently from where and where. In general, this is all software from Yandex, it's not that bad, no, but it's just often put somehow so imperceptibly, well, I don't even know how it got to my computer. Most likely when installing some kind of program. But if I had established, then such a situation would not have happened!
So what are these Yandex Elements? This is an add-on (panel) for the Internet Explorer browser and whose main task is to facilitate the use of the Yandex search engine and its services. Well, what can I say, Yandex is advancing, what can I say. However, the panel is really cool, it is directly embedded in Internet Explorer - it adds the Yandex logo in front of the address bar, puts its own buttons, in general, you can’t say anything, cool! But does everyone need it? The question is not easy ...
This is how the panel looks like:
You see, here in front of the line, where the website address is, there is a corporate logo, but in fact it is also a button! If you click it, you will be taken to the Yandex search engine. But further, after the address bar, there are all sorts of buttons, and so this is access to mail, viewing the weather, access to Yandex disk, VKontakte and Yandex Video! That is, everything is at hand! But the truth is, Internet Explorer is not used by so many people ...
Now look, if you click on the gear in the upper right corner of the browser, a menu will appear, in it select Browser Properties> Programs tab> Manage add-ons> and you will see that Yandex Elements are such add-ons:
You see, the publisher is YANDEX LLC, that's such an interesting name. Just in case, I'll write that it's all in the Toolbars and Extensions section. By the way, what is interesting is that it even says how many seconds it took to launch! That is, in principle, you can try to disable them there, to do this, just click on the panel and then there will be a Disable button at the bottom. I checked that it works, there you can immediately put a checkmark so that the Visual Bookmarks panel is also disabled.
But I think it's better to remove it in the usual way, and I'll show you how. So open the Start menu and select Control Panel there:
And if you have Windows 10, then this is good, but there this item is in the menu, which is called by the Win + X buttons! Well, that's it, just in case!
Then, among the icons, we find Programs and Features, launch it:
In the list of software, at the bottom there will be somewhere such as Yandex Elements. Here I have version 8.16 for Internet Explorer, and you may have a different version and maybe even for a different browser .. So, right-click on the elements and select Delete:
The program will uninstall in exactly a couple of seconds:
And then a page on the Internet will open, where they will ask you why you deleted these Yandex Elements:
You can answer or just close the page, it's all nothing! But do not think that they don’t read all this, no, they do, they have a special department for analyzing user reviews about one or another of their products (I came up with it myself, I confess).
Well guys, I seem to have told you everything, I hope that everything was clear and I helped you with something. Now all that remains is to wish you good luck and that you are all right.
31.07.2016Despite the fact that Internet Explorer is not the most respected browser, many users continue to use this standard solution from Microsoft, and this despite the fact that there are many better solutions from third-party developers. To make the browser more convenient and functional, Yandex has introduced special add-ons called Yandex Elements.
Yandex Elements is a collection of various add-ons designed to make using the Internet Explorer browser even more comfortable. If earlier Yandex Elements was a single add-on with the tools included in it, now each add-on can be installed in the browser separately.
Add-ons included in Yandex Elements:
- Visual bookmarks. Perhaps, only Speed Dial can compete with this tool, which, unfortunately, is absent for Internet Explorer. Visual bookmarks fail the most convenient form of access to saved or frequently visited pages, allowing you to almost instantly find the desired resource and immediately go to it. The aesthetics of the add-on did not disappoint - Visual bookmarks will certainly decorate the look of Internet Explorer.
- Advisor. More and more users are starting to shop online. This is connected, of course, with the fact that it is profitable to buy on the Internet. Strong competition allows you to find stores at the lowest possible prices, and a special Advisor add-on will automatically find the most affordable prices in online stores in your city for the goods opened in the browser.
- Smart line. If you want to install Yandex as a start page, then just one add-on will save you from configuring your browser yourself. This simple solution will also add Yandex search by default, which means that you just need to enter a search query in the address bar, after which the system will display the results for the Yandex system.
- Safety. In the browser, the most important thing is to be careful, because when it comes to Windows OS and Internet Explorer, there is a high probability of getting a serious virus on your computer that can seriously harm your privacy, as well as completely deprive you of important files. Such an extension can in no way be a substitute for an antivirus, but as an additional tool it is an excellent choice.
- Disk. If you are a user of Yandex.Disk cloud storage, then this add-on must be installed in your browser. With just one click, a file downloaded from the Internet can be saved to your cloud folder.
- Music. Yandex.Music is one of the most popular streaming services, which is successfully used by millions of users. This service contains an impressive music library, which is updated day by day. Any compositions and entire albums are available to you for a reasonable monthly fee. Now the service on a computer has become even easier to use - by installing the add-on in your browser, you can instantly play your favorite music while surfing the web.
- Traffic jams. The condition of the roads is more important than ever for city dwellers. And it doesn't matter whether you own your own car or use public transport - correct route planning, taking into account traffic jams, will allow you to get to the end point much faster.
- Mail. One of the main Yandex services is, of course, mail. Receive notifications about incoming emails right in the header of Internet Explorer. And by clicking once on the icon with the postal item, you will be immediately redirected to your account page.
- Translations. Yandex.Translate is a high-quality and rapidly developing service that works with many languages. A simple add-on for the Internet Explorer browser will allow you to visit foreign resources even without knowing the language - in just one or two clicks a whole page and a separate fragment can be translated into your native language.
- Weather. Before going out, every person is worried about the question: how to dress? Considering that many users open their browser before exiting, the built-in add-on will allow you to always be aware of the current weather situation.

Yandex has long been widely known to the Russian public for its successful products. In particular, the company has implemented a set of useful browser extensions for popular web browsers - Yandex Elements.
Yandex Elements is a small bundle of extensions for the popular browsers Google Chrome, Opera, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, and many other web browsers. The extensions that are part of Yandex Elements are not related to each other in any way, but at the same time they will significantly simplify the use of the browser for users.
What is included in Yandex Elements Elements?
1. Visual bookmarks. Perhaps the most significant component of Yandex Elements. This solution has excellent functionality, allowing you to instantly access important pages, and also has an excellent visual component that will significantly transform the browser.
2. Alternative search. Of course, after installing Yandex Elements, the search for a Russian company will come first. However, if you need to search other popular search services, the Alternative Search extension will allow you to quickly and conveniently switch between them.
3. Yandex.Market Advisor. As a rule, the majority of Russian users, wanting to study prices and reviews for goods of interest, turn to the Yandex.Market service.
When making purchases in online stores, the Advisor will shift you the most favorable prices in alternative online stores for the item you are currently viewing.
4. Elements of Yandex. And finally, the add-on of the same name, which includes a set of small tools: traffic, weather and mail.
