AI "summaries" or "explanations" have been popping up in front of actual useful text that I want to read. How do I disable this AI summarizer or turn it off? If this removes an AI chatbot, even better.

All of my addons are disabled and won't re-enable!

They all say "addon name" could not be verified for use in Nightly and has been disabled. See attachment clipboard00.jpg

If I try to install an addon from the recommended extensions settings (for example "return youtube dislike ") I get a message bubble stating "The Addon downloaded from this site could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt. {OK!}" See attachment clipboard01.jpg

The message above about addons appearing to be corrupt happens if I go to any of my current addon pages and try to redownload them.

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.

Why there is no way for me to review or rate add-ons for the Firefox? Many years I am using Firefox and sometimes I just cant understand what a strange bugs I am facing.

Dear Sir,

Firefox is not working with Rabby Wallet and Metamask extensions.

It does no pop-up the window to see the transaction and sign it. Firefox 134.0.1 (64-bit). Windows 10 Home.

On Metamask at least I can click on the pinned extension and see the window. However it´s not the expected behavior, because it should open the pop-up automatically. With Rabby wallet it is impossible to proceed, even clicking on the extension icon.

Please fix it.

A non-profit I support suggested the "Give Freely" app. The extensions search in Firefox did not find the app. Is it known and trusted by Mozilla? It's privacy policy suggests it functions like most other apps: it collects all the data it can, and allows the third parties that support their functions to collect all the data they can. The third parties can do whatever they like with my data.

Thank you,

David Guth

Unfortunately the latest release has broken the ability to support the NordPass extension. I also have WaterFox as a backup based on historical usage challenges, and sure enough it supports NordPass with no issues.

The issue is when a user completes the Account login to Nord itself, then enters their master password for NordPass via the browser. It then gets lost, presenting the animated circle as if it is attempting to process the next step, and it fails to exit that state.

HI, After upgrade to Seqouia 15.6.1 an extension for developing Oracle APEX applications breaks Firefox. It is the only extension I have installed. Console information is not really that helpful. Maybe you can make some head and tails about it.

One of if not my most favorite addon "context search" has recently been flagged as violating mozillas tos. I'm talking about this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/contextsearch

I am unable to find further explanation or the exact reason for this decision, but I am able to activate it again at my own risk. Seeing as I don't know what the problem is, I am hesitant to do so. Could someone explain what the issue is and if it's safe to continue using that addon? Am I or is my personal information at risk, since I have been using the addon regularly?

I am a member of Nielsen Computer App. Why did Firefox quit allowing me to use/add this extension?? I guess if this is going to be a problem I will uninstall Firefox AGAIN and go with Chrome. I really like Firefox, but this is so upsetting that I cannot add the Nielsen Extension like before.

I don't plan to use any provided AI chatbot. I want to use models that I have downloaded and tested myself and which run on my PC. So please add the possibility to connect through major LLM APIs, the same way other tools way simpler than Firefox already allow to do.

I have just had to replace my PC following a bit of a disaster with my old one. The new PC has Windows 11. As usual I downloaded Firefox as I always use this. Somewhere in the installation of Firefox I must have been asked about blocking ads, but I don't remember. Now all ads are blocked, which I don't mind, but some sites are asking me to disable my ad-blocker if I want to use their site. Mostly I don't but there is one I need to use, so I would like to add that site as an exception, but I cannot find any mention of any ad-blocker in settings. Where do I find this? and how do I add exceptions?

The only add-on that I have in Firefox is the 'Privacy Badger' which could be the problem I suppose, but I can't see the website listed in the ones Privacy Badger is blocking.

Any help would be appreciated

When I went to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/products/vpn/ and decided to purchase a Mozilla VPN prepaid annual subscription part of the reason was this "feature"

"Easy Firefox integration with the Mozilla VPN extension (Windows only)"

There is nothing easy when clicking on the download for the Mozilla VPN extension yields a message that the add-on or extension has been blocked. The explanatory link provided is https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-ons-cause-issues-are-on-blocklist. That lets you know that:

"When add-ons violate Mozilla’s policies, compromise user safety or privacy, or fail to meet user expectations, Mozilla takes action. This may include disabling add-ons in Firefox to maintain a secure and reliable user experience. "

So, when will Mozilla stop violating Mozilla's policies so that the Mozilla VPN add-on is fit for use on Firefox v 149.0 [without free VPN] running on WIN10 64?

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. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I recently discovered a problem with an addon I wanted to report. The product page only has an email support link, which opens up MIcrosoft Mail. I prefer not to use it.

Is there any other way to get the developers email address?

Also, this link does not work

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!

I am running Firefox 148.0 and Thunderbird 148.0. I am in the process of moving everything to a new (to me) computer that will run Windows 11. When I start Firefox from the start menu or the taskbar everything runs as expected. I have the Adblock Plus extension plus several others running. If I click on a Hyperlink in a email in Thunderbird instead of opening in a new tab into the currently open copy of Firefox as it did on my old computer running Windows 10 it opens in a new window with no extensions. I am assuming that I have something set incorrectly. Any help as to where I should look to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated.
