The Firefox Translations add-on has been discontinued and no longer works. As a foreign language learner, I found it very useful to open the Firefox Translations popup, enter some text, and have that text translated locally. Is there an alternative that has the same functionality?

With Firefox's latest update...

1. Javascript no longer works on pages it absolutely must work. The webpage for my security cameras not longer allow me to operate the cameras. When I click pan/tilt/zoom button all I get is a little message that says "Jacascript" at the bottom right corner where there should be a url. I've never actually paid attention on the security cams page but the url is there on other websites. I have to have this functionality. How do I re-enable Javascript for at least this page?

2. Deactivated extensions are not actually deactivated. To trouble shoot the first problem I disabled NoScript and ADblock Plus to see if they were interfering. I closed and reopened Firefox, and even restarted my PC. Firefox shows the extension to be disabled but they are in fact still active and working. Something is extremely broken in Firefox's extension manager. Is there anyway to actually disable these extensions without removing them?

Thanks

I have two accounts n Youtube and the same video downloader app installed. in the first account I cannot download any video and i get the message "no links ere found". if I switch to the second account in the same video, I have no problem and I do download the video. what can be the solution to the problem?

I installed the extension with the first account which I use as the primary one. at the beginning and for a few months it worked fine and suddenly it stopped working. I didn't do anything. I changed to the second account for other reasons, and I noticed that the downloader works without any problem.

Why there is no way for me to review or rate add-ons for the Firefox? Many years I am using Firefox and sometimes I just cant understand what a strange bugs I am facing.

A non-profit I support suggested the "Give Freely" app. The extensions search in Firefox did not find the app. Is it known and trusted by Mozilla? It's privacy policy suggests it functions like most other apps: it collects all the data it can, and allows the third parties that support their functions to collect all the data they can. The third parties can do whatever they like with my data.

Thank you,

The built-in translation feature in the browser is a great feature. In the settings I have loaded Ukrainian language but when I click on the translation button at the end of the address bar it is not displayed in the list. Can you please tell me what I need to do to display the language I need?

Unable to pin extensions since i do not see the option to, clicking on the puzzle piece creates no drop down menu, when i go into the extensions menu the ... only allow me to remove or report, the manage extension shortcuts menu shows nothing.

I am a member of Nielsen Computer App. Why did Firefox quit allowing me to use/add this extension?? I guess if this is going to be a problem I will uninstall Firefox AGAIN and go with Chrome. I really like Firefox, but this is so upsetting that I cannot add the Nielsen Extension like before.

I was using Video Download Helper to download some YouTube videos. Suddenly, it stopped this evening. The button would remain grey. I tried using another LinkedIn video, and it worked, but it did not work with any YouTube video links. I gained access after I got a license 2-3 weeks ago Any suggestion on what is happening with YouTube links

The moment my version of Firefox auto-updated to 141.0.2 (64-bit), all of my extensions disabled. There is no option to re-enable them and no indicator of why they are disabled.

I found that switching to a new profile allows them to work, but of course that's not really an option; I have huge amounts of custom stuff in eg. Greasemonkey that I cannot afford to lose.

What can I do to preserve my extensions without losing things like Greasemonkey scripts? Again, deleting them and reinstalling them is not an option if it would lose their individual configurations.

One of if not my most favorite addon "context search" has recently been flagged as violating mozillas tos. I'm talking about this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/contextsearch

I am unable to find further explanation or the exact reason for this decision, but I am able to activate it again at my own risk. Seeing as I don't know what the problem is, I am hesitant to do so. Could someone explain what the issue is and if it's safe to continue using that addon? Am I or is my personal information at risk, since I have been using the addon regularly?

How do I move an addon from the TOOLBAR into the PUZZLE PIECE list? I can get them OUT onto the Toolbar.

Also, the Customize Toolbar / overflow menu won't accept anything, the addon just pops back out when dragged from the Toolbar.

Hi, I am using Firefox to open my different mail boxes from : yahoo.fr or orange.fr or laposte.net. Usually everything are going OK and I can read the attached files except the one sent by my friend from England. Sorry for my English but you may have understood I am french (nobody is perfect). Well, I am using windows 11, he is using windows 11 ; I am using Firefox but he is using mainly Microsoft Outlook. All his attachment are coded as winmail.dat and I can't open them. If I use Microsoft Edge it's not much better. When he uses Chrome and Gmail it's perfect and I can open his attachment with Firefox. He is a computer man, programmer, and his Outlook seems to be correctly set and he doesn't understand the problem or what's happening. I am not the only one in that case. It seems it's an Outlook setting specific problem according to Microsoft. Clearly, I don't want to give up with Firefox. Does it exist an add-on or extension for Firefox which could solve this difficulty ? or a decoder add-on ? It seems there is at least one for Thunderbird but 6 yo... Would it run under Firefox even it's specific ? For fun I should try Firefox with Linux just to see if Linux is better at decoding winmail.dat attachments. Thanks for any help, setting or specific add-on you can provide me. Richard.
