                         FEDFIRST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
           ANNOUNCES APPROVAL OF EXTENSION TO STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

      March 31, 2008, Monessen, PA. FedFirst Financial Corporation (NASDAQ
Capital: FFCO) (the "Company") today announced that the Company's board of
directors has extended to September 30, 2008, its current program to repurchase
shares of the Company's outstanding common stock. The program, which was
originally scheduled to expire on March 31, 2008, provides for the repurchase of
up to 147,500 shares of common stock, which was approximately 5% of the
outstanding shares held by persons other than FedFirst Financial Mutual Holding
Company when the program was announced on September 28, 2007. As of March 31,
2008, 77,400 shares of the Company's common stock have been repurchased under
the program, and up to 70,100 may still be repurchased.

      Purchases under the program will be conducted solely through a Rule 10b5-1
repurchase plan with Sandler O'Neill & Partners, L.P. and will be based upon the
parameters of the Rule 10b5-1 repurchase plan. The Rule 10b5-1 repurchase plan
allows the Company to repurchase its shares during periods when it would
normally not be active in the market due to its internal trading blackout
period.
