Firefox Community Forum

I am signed-in to my Firefox sync on my work and home computer, including syncing add-ons.

I was testing limited add-on installation to approved add-ons in our enterprise on my work computer and inadvertently removed all of my extensions. Without thinking it through I performed a manual Firefox sync on my work computer, which I fear has synced the extension removal to Firefox sync (the opposite of what I wanted to happen).

When I got home I immediately removed add-ons from Firefox Sync, fortunately it seems before any changes synced to my home computer. So I have all of my original add-ons on my home computer, with add-on sync turned OFF.

What's the easiest way of restoring the extensions to my work computer from my home computer? If I enable sync of add-ons on my home computer, will it

1. sync my good add-on configuration from my home computer to my work computer, or
2. sync my bad add-on configuration from my work computer to my home computer?

Good day, The issues that I am encountering are explained below. The solution found after hours of research is uBlock Origin : https://ublockorigin.com/. Do you know which filters and rules should be applied to exclude the Wikimedia Foundation and all of its derivatives from the results provided by my search engine? Please share your knowledge. Sincerely. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I am utilizing Firefox ESR 128.10 desktop version on the Linux operating system. I wish to conduct research on the internet, utilizing the Startpage search engine. I would like to exclude the following sites from my search results: wikipedia.org, the Wikimedia Foundation, and any affiliated websites, regardless of the language or location settings configured.

What is the correct approach to establish a customized Startpage search profile excluding all Wikimedia Foundation sites? What is the proper setting to create a persistent and customized search engine configuration that excludes all Wikimedia Foundation domains even after an operating system update or reinstallation? Is it permitted to manually manage a customized search engine?

I have been advised to utilize an add-on or create a dedicated profile.

What would be the most suitable solution in my case, and the one that will be the most effective and stable ?

It is unfortunate that mozilla-firefox does not appear to offer a 'blacklist' or exclusion list feature, as that would be the most direct approach to excluding the Wikimedia Foundation websites from the search results.

I thank you kindly for all of your suggestions and responses to come. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

It used to show how big and extension was when you would look at that extension, like how many MB it is. Now that is gone and it is almost impossible to find out how much space the add on is taking. Most of these add ons don't have the information even on their websites. What gives? Can we bring this back please? These things are important to know!

In firefox, an extension no longer appears in the toolbar. It used to. Therefore I can no longer log in into that extension nor can I restore it to the toolbar. My version Firefox 138.03 64-bit. The extension is Phantom version 25.16.0

Hi. Sometime over the last day or so I started having a problem with my 1Password Password Manager, an extension to Firefox that imports my ID and password to websites that require them. I am running Mac OS 15.4.1 and Firefox 138.0.3. Up to now it was enough to click on the 1Password icon on the right of the first "email" box. But now I get a popup saying "Press the 1 Password icon in your browser's toolbar to unlock". But I cannot find that icon in my Firefox browser. I assume it is a Firefox problem because I do not have the same problem when using Safari and 1Password. Help appreciated, ChrisD
