Hi,

suddenly, all of add-ons have been disabled.

It is say that is an security problems,..., but all of them?? suddenly??

can you please provide some support/help?

I attach screenshoot with release and evidences disabled.

Tks

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?

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.

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. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

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?

Anyone use LastPass? Do YOU have any hair left? How do I put that extension up at the top. Where my red arrow points? ALSO......

Im entering the email and password i swear dozens of times every day...it never works right, ALWAYS need one or both lines filled in.  I DONT CARE IF IT DOESNT WANT ME TO SAVE THE PASSWORD. GOD KNOWS its NOT retaining it!  OK, im 75 years old. HAVE I LOST MY MARBLES?

Firefox says versions earlier than 115.13 will be impacted by the certificate expiration. I've updated to 115.21 My add-ons are still disabled. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/root-certificate-expiration

It seems many don't know or haven't noticed but merely running an esr branch (rather than a developer edition) will also give you the option to enable add-ons with expired certifications via about:config.

Anyway, the "legit" way isn't working.

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

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 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

I want to avoid any 'ai assist' searches because I do not find their summaries accurate or valuable enough to be worth the environmental impact they consume. I know my web browser searches are not under the control of firefox, but for privacy and security I kill cookies when I end browsing sessions. So I am not staying logged in to search engines when I finish my sessions, and setting my preferences to 'no ai assist' on DDG doesn't last session to session because the search engine defaults to 'ai assist' searches now, as does google.

Are there any search engines that do not use ai?

Has anyone written an extension/add-on to FF that would add 'minus ai' to all my searches no matter what browser I use? Or otherwise indicate to search engines that I do not want ai-assisted summaries period?

We've got various privacy options built into FF--this is why it is my preference always--and it would be LOVELY to have a 'no ai' option too.

I have just got a new laptop and installed everything in relation to Firefox onto it. I have used the Nordpass extension for a couple of years and on the old laptop this is version 5.23.13 updated 16/10/24. On visiting the add-on and extension site today there is only a legacy version 4.33 updated 2y ago which clearly no longer works. Where has it gone. Clearly I am going to ask the same question of Nord, but I hope you can help.

I have been using Easy Screenshot for years. Today I tried taking a screenshot and it opened a huge copy of the rectangular image I wanted to save in a new tab. Then there was no visible way to save the image. I used to get the option to save the image file in the same tab as the image I wanted to save. Took a screenshot and saved in Paint to show the contents of the Firefox window that image is huge and should have been 4 inches wide at most. Also the lack of how to save the image.

I'm wondering if this a because of the latest update. Firefox 147.0.1 X64 desktop WIN10 22h2 with ESU

When I tried reporting the problem on the add-on page the website it tried to connect to was not working so asking here for help.

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.

I have recently installed the containers extension and have been having a bit of trouble with one site (the others are fine), which seems to originate from the manner in which the site is structured. As it references new pages, they are often in a different URL. For example, you start in login.site.com, which then tries to load dashboard.site.com, but it fails authentication on dashboard.site.com because it opens in a different container. Which then tries to open the login.site.com page again, which displays the login page, but showing it tying to complete the original authentication. I have tried to add each step along the way, but without success. Is there a way to overcome this?

I want to change the name of my Firefox extension from "eBird reviewer utilities" to "eBird reviewer assistant". I thought that it would be sufficient simply to change the name in the manifest:

 "name": "eBird reviewer utilities",
 "version": "1.3.46",

to

 "name": "eBird reviewer assistant",
 "version": "1.3.47",

(This was sufficient for Chrome.)

Firefox on my Windows 11 laptop processed this exactly as I expected, picking up the new version and new name. However, Firefox on my Windows 11 desktop does not recognize that there is an update, it only says no updates available. Likewise, Firefox on my Android phone has not picked up the update.

I noticed that the name on the product page was still the old one, so I tried renaming it there, and bumping to version to 1.3.47.1. On the Developer Hub, the extension is correctly listed with the new name and version (see attached screenshot)

However, my desktop running at 1.3.46 still says "No updates found". (See second attached screenshot)

So my first question is, is the confusion related to the attempted name change? And secondly, regardless of the reason, how do get the update recognized?
