The background browser extension is only compatible with Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. If you do not already have the extension installed, you can go to our Adding the Background Check Browser Extension help article for instructions on how to install it.
FastBound’s background check browser extension is compatible with the California DROS system. You must use the corresponding button at the top of the pending 4473 for the extension to work.
Always review everything that is entered using the extension. You are responsible for what is entered, and if the information entered into DROS does not exactly match what is on the 4473, you could receive administrative action against your FFL during an inspection.
