Loading a new mod - HELP!

[depth10]

I've installed Forge and I'm able to see the Forge profile when starting up Minecraft.  I downloaded a mod and stuck the js file directly in the mods folder.  Closed Minecraft and restarted it and it's not showing any mods except the three that seem to have come with it.  What am I doing wrong?

I meant .jar, sorry.  To confirm, I downloaded Minecraft Forge from Mincraftmods DOT com.  I also downloaded the TooManyItems mod from that site.  Is that the correct place to download them?

get mods from here https://minecraft.curseforge.com/mc-mods

There are a lot of jerks on the internet redistributing mods so they generate income instead of the authors of the mods. Sometimes, they contain malware and viruses. They also claim that mods work on the latest version of Minecraft, while they are not made for it. This will, quite clearly, not work.

 

Only download from Curse. the Minecraft Forums and the mod owners' website, if they have one.

 

Only download Forge from the Forge File Server, located here.

Many thanks to both of you.  I downloaded a mod from Curse and it worked flawlessly.
