Firefox Community Forum

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.

I was in the middle of a bunch of work and this Avira pop up showed up blocking 1/3 of the screen. Probably a scam, but no way to get rid of it. Finally I had to reboot. I googled options and none of them worked. I have been getting Avira "scare tactics" but they were easy to close. But this was extremely annoying. If this continues, how to I get rid of it??

I have the Firefox Multi-Account Containers extensions installed, and configured with 3 containers: one for YouTube, other for Amazon, and finally one for Facebook and Instagram. Each container only opens said website and also logs-in to said website. I also have another computer with Firefox which all of those settings are also synced.

Both Amazon and Facebook work perfectly, but the Facebook container constantly logs out both from Facebook and Instagram, prompting me to enter my credentials time and time again, which has reached to the extent that now Facebook presents a Captcha every login, alongside a prompt asking me if I want to save those login credentials (which I say yes).

This started to happen last week as I did a fresh install of my OS on my desktop rig after I logged in into my Firefox Sync account and configured the Firefox Multi-Account Containers extension. And yes, I have disabled erasing cookies after I close Firefox, Allow cookies and site data, and added both Instagram and Facebook as explicit options to save those cookies.

EDIT: I also noticed that this happens whenever I open up Facebook/Instagram on the other device (PC/Desktop, and as long as I'm still using the same device, the session is still open.

Some extensions don't work since firefox browser updates

All of my Simple Tabs Group (STGs) tabs were reset in Firefox to 0. I had not cleaned them up in a while & had from 5 to 40 tabs saved in each of the 12 Groups created. In the past, I have had the problem of unknowingly opening a 2nd browser window (with no tabs open) & then closing my 1st (main) window before the empty one after I finished working, but I have always be able to recover one of my main tab screens. All of my other tab groups were still listed & available under the Simple Tabs Group logo beside the currently open web site address on the tabs bar (just below the top line of the open & available web sites). This time after I clicked the STGs icon, all of my Simple Tabs Group label names are still listed, but the number of tabs shown for each label shows "0". They have all been deleted. Does anyone know how I can recover this info??? I have regularly use Windows 10 bkup. Is W10 just in the process of a slow death?? It's certainly very bad time (Apr, '25) to need to buy a new PC with all Trump's tariffs.

I have used Firefox for years and I enjoy the variety of articles that are available to read when I first sign on.

But more and more sites request me to "Please Disable your Add Blocker" and will not let me read the article without doing so

That's fine with me but when I look at my "Extensions" list I do not find any Add Blocker on my Firefox

So...How can I disable it ??

I apparently installed something that opens The Free Dictionary by Farlex when I double-click on a word in a web page. It's really annoying, and I don't know how to turn it off. Any suggestions?

Witaj. Mam problem z rozszerzeniem "Zapisz na Pintereście". Odinstalowałam to rozszerzanie, ale nadal mi się pokazuje żółty trójkącik w manu aplikacji i informacja, żebym zaakceptowała dla niego nowe uprawnienia. To nieco irytujące i nie wiem jak mam się pozbyć tych powiadomień. Proszę mi pomóc w tej sprawie. Dziękuję za poświęcenie mi czasu i mam nadzieję, że pomoc okaże się skuteczna.
