I am the developer of FastF1, an open source Python package for downloading and analyzing Formula 1 race results, timing data and telemetry. The package is widely used in the fan community for independent analysis of results. For some advanced features, the addon requires users to authenticate with their Formula1/F1TV account. Since their services don't have an open login API, a companion addon is required to allow users to sign in using their browser and the official website.

I have just noticed that my developer account has been banned and the addon was blocked in Firefox. I have not received any email about this and don't know why exactly this decision was made. I'd like appeal this and reinstate my account and the addon, but I don't know how to proceed from here.

FastF1 and the companion addon are fully open source and intend no harm to users. https://github.com/theOehrly/Fast-F1 https://github.com/theOehrly/fastf1-companion

I hope this problem can be resolved.

When I first install an extension, there is an option to pin that extension icon to the Firefox taskbar. But if I later unpin it, then I can never repin it back to the taskbar. In older editions of Firefox, long ago, there were ships wheel icons next to the extensions in the extension list. There was choice to "pin to the taskbar", but now there are no ship's wheel icons in the list. And therefore no way to repin the extension to the taskbar. Therefore, once I unpin an extension icon from the taskbar, I have no way to pin it back up there.

Mozilla has disabled the 1Password extension. I've used this version of 1Password extension for years without issue so do not share Mozilla concerns. How do I override the disabling to continue using 1Password as the risk is acceptable to me? It is more important to me to be able to use 1Passsword than Mozilla, so I'll switch to another browser if Mozilla won't let me make my own risk determination.

When I am typing a question in a thread on forum type sites like Woodworkingtalk.com I seem to constantly popups that pull the cursor from the box. I constantly have to click the mouse back in the box to continue typing. Is there anything that will block these ads in Firefox. The do not seem to happen when I switch to Edge or Chrome. I just would rather ruse Firefox.

Firefox Extension: Permission issue while accessing page content (similar to RankingsFactor SEO Chrome Extension)

I’ve developed a Firefox extension similar to the RankingsFactor SEO Chrome Extension, which analyzes on-page SEO elements such as meta tags, headings, links, and canonical tags.

The core functionality works fine in Chrome, but when I ported it to Firefox using the WebExtensions API, I’m facing permission issues while trying to access or read the page content (DOM).

Here’s what I’m trying to do:

Inject a content script to read <meta> tags, headings, and links.

Display this extracted data inside my extension popup.

However, in Firefox, the script doesn’t seem to have proper access to the page DOM — even though I’ve included "permissions": ["activeTab", "tabs", "<all_urls>"] in manifest.json.

I’d like to know:

Are there any additional permissions required in Firefox to read page content?

Does Firefox handle activeTab or content_scripts differently than Chrome?

Is there a specific event or user action needed to grant temporary permissions?

Any help, code examples, or guidance on fixing these permission restrictions would be appreciated.
