Hi All,

I have a number of computers that I would like to have configured identically, including Firefox's extensions. Is there a mechanism that I could use to automatically install a list of extensions on my (linux, windows) computers?

TIA, Mike.

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.

Why have ratings of reviews on Amazon disappeared and how do I restore that feature? I do not see a price tag in the upper righthand corner. I'm running Firefox on a PC w/Windows 10.

Hi there, I'm experiencing an issue with the Microsoft Teams add-on in Thunderbird, specifically when using it with multiple Microsoft Exchange accounts.

Issue Description:

Previously, I was able to select between accounts using the Teams icon in the toolbar without any problems. However, after switching operating systems, the behavior has changed:

• When I hover over the Teams icon in the toolbar, the account selection menu appears as expected.
• As soon as I move the mouse to select an account from the menu, the menu disappears immediately before I can click anything.
• I've made sure that the mouse doesn't leave the icon or jump erratically, but the menu still vanishes every time.

This only started happening after I changed my OS. On my previous setup, the add-on worked fine.

Fixes Attempted:

• Removed and re-added the Exchange Accounts
• Reinstalled the Owl for Exchange add-on
• Fully uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird, including manually deleting the profile data folder
• Disabled hardware acceleration

So far, nothing has resolved the issue, and I haven’t found any other reports of this specific behavior online.

The attached image shows the account selection menu when hovering over the teams add-on, but as soon as the mouse moves over to the menu it disappears.

System and Application Details:

• Thunderbird Version: 139.0.1 (64-bit)
• Operating System: Kubuntu 25.04
• Desktop Environment: KDE Plasma 6.3.4
• Display Manager: X11
• Kernel Version: 6.14.0-15-generic (64-bit)

Any suggestions or workarounds would be greatly appreciated.

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. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

So I am running 31 add-ons. 30 of them ARE ACTIVE. (I've ALREADY ACTIVATED THEM.) Only 8 are showing up on the tool bar. I would like to select ONE that is not showing up for use. I have double, triple and quadruple checked, it is active...but it does not show up on that toolbar. I WOULD say that it is because there is not enough room, but there IS enough room for at least 3 others to be showing up. I can remember a day when there was 12 of them showing, and I had an arrow to select to see the "hidden" add-ons. That is not present. I cannot find a way to "show all"... unless it is just going to the install center to see that they are BOTH installed AND active. (Well, one is not active, but that is for a reason, and it's not the one that I want to use at this time.) While typing this, I tried something, I right clicked on the toolbar and selected customize, and I SEE the old familiar >> but it is grayed out. Once I click on "done" it disappears again. It is that ">>" that is missing. Yes, it's called "The overflow menu"... THAT is what is missing! How do I get that back?

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?

currently using FF; I do NOT have any ad blocking software installed ( that I know of) I searched my computer for the word block, and it did not show it anywhere. I also have Mozilla Seamonkey installed, but not using it. Each time I visit a news website I get a popup that claims Im using an ad blocker. I have searched all those adbocker pgms on my computer and none exist. Why am I getting these pop ups. I think I also checked the AVG pgm, but didnt see an adblocker there. How do I fix this situation from continuing

When I publish an extension on Chromium-based browsers, I can select the markets/regions in which I would like my extension to be available. I cannot find this option in Firefox add-ons. Am I missing something, or should I assume that the add-ons are available for every region in Firefox?

I just started getting an annoying ding/small pop-up window that appears to be a link to various ads . . . I would like to get rid of it.

I assume it is FIrefox, as it started happening after my most recent update. I also assume there is a setting I can use, but I don't see a settings icon in Firefox. <Sigh>

Possibly it only pops up when I'm using Duck Duck Go, but I'm not sure about that.

Sure need some help here . . . much appreciated.

Hi there, I'm trying to upload a new version of my browser extension (version 1.4.5), but the submission is being blocked due to a version number conflict. The issue is that I accidentally submitted a different extension under this listing with version 1.7.7. I reverted it immediately, but now I'm unable to upload the correct version (1.4.5) because it's considered a downgrade.

I really don't want to change my extension’s versioning just to get around this, since 1.4.5 is the actual next version in my release cycle. At the same time, I don’t want to stop updating the extension on the Mozilla Add-ons store. Is there a way to resolve this?

hi, I have a bit of an issue, which I'll try to explain my situation first. Thing is, I mainly use ethernet (because I need to), but a tiny piece of my laptop's casing fell off, so now the ethernet cable isn't fixed, and easily disconnects from small movements. It rarely happens, I mostly avoid it, but not always. I could be using wi-fi, but that has it's own random disconnect issues (which I'll probably try to fix in the future, but that's not what this question is about)

my question is, if the disconnection happens in the middle of extension updates (they have auto updates enabled), will that break the update/the extension itself? Do I need to worry about that? Or will it cancel and fully restart the update? Does it make sure that everything stays not broken, in situations like that?

it would be great to know this about browsers in general (since I occasionally use some others), but I understand this is a Firefox forum, so I don't demand answers for that.
