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.

how do i get some addons i downloaded to move up to a tool bar where i can use them when needed ? a few i would like to put up there are, ohms law calculator ,web xr api emulator , flash player forever , antiscammer the tool bar i up loaded below is where i would like them put ;;i hope this makes since to you, thank you

WHY?

I have been setting up Passkeys to log in to the websites which allow them. But I have noticed on Paypal, they do not allow me to use passkey when using firefox, it only seems to allow chrome

Is there an issue with firefox which deems it not suitable for passkeys?

I noticed that sopmeone asked this question this time last year and it was advised that firefox is now able to create and store passkeys Paypal still dont seem to allow it?

I used to have Adblock installedl then lost it. I've just reinstalled it, but it doesn't seem to be working. What have I done wrong? Is there another system that Firefox recommends? Thank you.

Hello everyone,

until the week before last, I was able to use the Shopify Store/ Theme Editor without any problems with Firefox on Windows (desktop). I disabled Ghostery and AdBlock, cleared the cache, am using the current version Firefox etc.

Without changing anything, I can no longer open the Theme Editor now– I keep getting the error message "there was a problem loading this page." Shopify support could not help and deferred me to Firefox.

A different browser isn't really a solution, although I can theoretically open the Theme Editor on Opera, for example.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix this, and access my shopify shop theme editor again via firefox?! Thanks in advance!!

Whay have extensions stopped workong with latest Firefox update. E.g. Last pass is listed as an installed extension but clicking in the installed list just gives a settings page, and there is no button to enable pinning to the top bar, so I can't access Lastpass at all in this way. Have updated Firefox to 134.0.2 and reinstalled the Last Pass extension but no change. Previously I have been able to pin Lastpass extension to the top bar next to the Download icon. Other icon that do work: Pocket, Download, Account, Noscript, Duckduckgo search, ABP and jigsaw piece. When will this get fixed pleased?

All my addons have disappeared after a firefox update.There is an error message saying they are disabled.I am running El Capitan on my computer, an iMac 24*, running operating 78.15 Oesr,64bit.Any su’ for ‘Firefox’

Hi there,

I’m using the Firefox Multi-Account Containers extension and would like to remove a site that’s been set to "Always open in [X] container." However, I don’t see a “Manage Site List” option anywhere in the container settings as seen here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

   I’ve clicked the Containers icon and selected the gear ⚙ to edit a container.

   I enabled privacy.userContext.siteAssignments.enabled in about:config and set it to true.

   I restarted Firefox (with session restore on), but still no option appears to view or manage assigned sites.

I’m on Firefox Desktop (Mac), and I’ve confirmed that I’m using the official Multi-Account Containers extension.

Is this a bug, a UI change, or something I’m missing? I’d really prefer not to manually edit the containers.json file if there’s a built-in way to manage these assignments.

Thanks so much for any guidance!

When I try to install an officially signed add-on by dragging and dropping it into the browser, Firefox prompts that the file is corrupted. However, when I directly copy the file to the browser/extensions directory, the browser disables the add-on as untrusted. How can I properly install a signed extension in Firefox version 50.0b2? I can confirm that the extension works correctly when temporarily loaded (via temporary installation), but it fails to install after being officially signed.

Windows 11 FireFox 135.0 (64 bit) How to pin an existing extension to the toolbar, please ? E.g. Video DownloadHelper. My browser is up to date.

In "Extensions", I select "Video DownloadHelper" then click on the gear icon. I cannot find "Pin to taskbar" there or any where else. See the image for the menu I do get.

Thanks !

The Video DownloadHelper has stopped working again. It has been removed or blocked possibly by YouTube??? Please advise.

Thanks, Massoud Sabet [edited phone# from community support forum] [edited email]

Hello

I'm stuck with the use of downloadhelper. The 3 ballons start in color and 2 seconds later they turn grey. when I play a video on youtube, I cannot download although it used to work perfectly before. Is it a problem of compatibility with an add-on or anything else? thank you. Regards.

Recently I've had the Un-welcome experience of Scripts triggered on YouTube, which Over-ride my Installed extensions to Firefox.

I've had YouTube, somehow Disable extensions and refresh the webpage... Without my concent or even an option for concent!

I've even blocked the popup window, which triggers the script which performs this action within another extension... and within 7-10 days Youtube has by passed the bypass that i've employed...

In my opinion a web-browser which allowes for extensions to be installed and run... should Block any and All scripts which try to disable extensions!

I seriously hope this can be looked into asap... or someone in the community has a work around, as my work around (blocking hte window which triggres the script, which disables the extension....) was by-passed within 7-10 days...

I used to think myself a compettent net user, but i'm aged out atm... still if i'm unable to prevent this sh*t and manipulation within FireFox, I doubt the average user or the layman will have a chance in hell of being secure and keeping their chosen extensions running...

This needs looking into ASAP!

Is there a specific URL to get help with download helper? I'm having a hard time locating somewhere that can give me answers to my ongoing problem with download helper and why its not working?

I'm on WinXP and Win7; FF is there respectively on ESR 52.6.0, and 56.0.2.

• • Pls refrain from lecturing me on updating etc. I need it to be this way for umpteen reasons. Thanks for understanding.**

First, all of a sudden all my legacy add-ons were disabled. Most of them ensure FF looks like it did ages ago, which is what I'm used to, and need, to function properly myself. They overall are no longer maintained or downloadable, hence the need to stay on lower browser versions as well.

Managed to fix that.

Then, last Fri, my webmail provider missed updating their security certificate. They seemingly later do, but I am left unable to access their website from FF on both machines, and Chrome on the XP. Disaster.

The error messages I get are, in FF:

[www.netaddress.com] uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown. The server might not be sending the appropriate intermediate certificates. An additional root certificate may need to be imported.

Error code: <a id="errorCode" title="SEC\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\_ERROR\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\_UNKNOWN\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\_ISSUER">SEC\_ERROR\_UNKNOWN\_ISSUER</a>

and in Chrome:

classic.netaddress.com normally uses encryption to protect your information. When Google Chrome tried to connect to classic.netaddress.com this time, the website sent back unusual and incorrect credentials. This may happen when an attacker is trying to pretend to be classic.netaddress.com, or a Wi-Fi sign-in screen has interrupted the connection. Your information is still secure because Google Chrome stopped the connection before any data was exchanged.

You cannot visit [classic.netaddress.com] right now because the website uses HSTS. Network errors and attacks are usually temporary, so this page will probably work later.

When running a SSL server test on their certificate it turned back: Chain issues Incorrect order, Contains anchor

No idea if that's relevant.

I tried just abt everything I was handed, could think of, or googled. Adding an exception included. Nothing works. Logically, the error should be on their end (w/ their old certificate, it all worked fine, now it doesn't), but somehow I keep being directed to that your root certificate having expired is the culprit.

Earlier today, I took the plunge and updated FF to 72.0.2 on the Win7 machine. (My webmail doesn't have full functionality on Chrome, so I was still very hampered in that regard there.) Now I can access the webmail -- but all my add-ons AGAIN are disabled. And what I did before to make the work does now NOT work anymore.

Can someone pls take me out of my misery? My whole existence is falling apart. I am already on 75 % (invisible) disability. Nothing works, least of all I. I am days behind on an already massively overburdened schedule. Not everyone can handle constant updates and their user interface being changed all the time. Some ppl are dependent on things looking and acting the exact same.

I'd like my add-ons back functional on the Win7 machine, and my webmail back -- INCLUDING the add-ons remaining functional, on the WinXP. Thank you.
