When using the Stable release/channel, {Channel_Name} is not required.

## Usage

After the installation, you should be able to import bibliographic references into JabRef directly from your browser. Just visit a publisher site or some other website containing bibliographic information \(for example, [the arXiv](http://arxiv.org/list/gr-qc/pastweek?skip=0&show=5)\) and click the JabRef symbol in the Firefox search bar \(or press Alt+Shift+J\). Once the JabRef browser extension has extracted the references and downloaded the associated PDF's, the import window of JabRef opens.
