Firefox-Hilfeforum

On 5/3/19 Firefox suddenly alerted me that it disabled all of my Add-ons stating that "These extensions do not meet current Firefox standards so they have been deactivated."

Immediately below this message, Firefox gives me the option to "Find a Replacement" Add-on.

After going through this process and locating the replacement Add-on, all attempts to download this (or any other Add-on) produce an error message stating "Download failed. Please check your connection."

However, my internet connection is working just fine.

I am running the latest version of Firefox (66.0.3 (64-bit)). And I have tried downloading the Add-on with my anti-virus temporarily disabled (with no success).

Screen captures are attached.

Does anyone know what is causing this issue and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance.

I got home, turned on the PC, loaded up Firefox, and ALL my addons are disabled and tossed into their 'legacy' pool of crap. No happy colorful theme, NO adblocker, no Ghostery... it even disabled my Bitdefender add-ons. Something is NOT right here. Anyone know what's going on? Firefox has NOT updated in at least a week or two, so I doubt it was an update breaking anything.

https://go.trafficrouter.io/? i get this every time i try to use the google search what is it and how do i remove it. why Am I getting this? i have changed my searh engine thinking that was it

One main reason I am asking about this is because I have to download screenshots for a group I'm in and organise tables etc... For every photo added of games played, results etc... I don't get to see the relevant information I need to be able to download it.

I've tried uploading 2 pictures to here to show what I mean but they won't upload either even though they are under 1mb. Basically, when you click on any picture on facebook, you get a distorted version of that picture, or, there are no options available for downloading it etc.. When I access the same pictures on Chrome, I can like it, download it etc...and everything else is also listed, so I don't understand how Firefox isn't showing any of it.

As both browsers are on this same computer, both upto date etc..., does anyone have any idea why Firefox isn't showing everything ?

Your help would be appreciated immensely as this really is doing my head in :(

I get it Mozilla, you want us to update Firefox. But it's my computer and I want to choose when to do it. Stop with the multiple notifications and bring back the ability to turn them off.

Anyone know of a hack that will turn these off? Other threads on the subject have been turned off, with no real solution. Thank you.

This morning Adblock Plus was disabled in my browser.

the message n the EXTENSIONS PAGE reads: "Adblock Plus - free ad blocker could not be verified for use in Firefox and has been disabled".

I've been Adblock PLus using for years, on both my computers. And it still functions on my Windows 10 desktop. Is this because it is Windows XP? Can I do anything to reacivate it?

I tried to add Adblock Plus again on the computer - but that did not work either. I get a message that says: "Download failed. Please check your connection' - but I am using the connection without problems everywhere else!

all my addons just got disabled

Just today Mozilla suddenly reported that several of my extensions where outdated and had been disabled. When I checked the 'legacy extension list' is showed every single extension as being unsigned, the list includes:

Add Block Plus IDM Integration module Malwarebytes browser extension

I have gone to the add on page and tried to install (or re-install) the latest version of each of these and it fails with the error "Download failed. Please check your connection." As I know my network connection is good, this is clearly bogus. So far all I have done otherwise is run a full virus scan with malwarebytes (and got nothing) and reboot just in case. Some searches on the web have turned up installation failures like i am getting, but most of them where a year ago or more and specific to a given add on. I haven't found anything on mass disabling all extensions.

Currently running version 66.0.3 (64 bit) of mozilla.

Thanks for any help you can provide, Eric Hough

Ever since updating to Firefox v 66, the browser won't load webpages until I disable ublock origin in the add-ins page. It's very repeatable, I disable ublock and the page loads. Enable it again, and new pages won't load. I've also disabled all my other add-ins when doing this, so it's not some weird interaction between add-ins.

Normally I would consider this a ublock problem, but it didn't change. This started happening with the Firefox v 66 update. I've searched, but nobody else seems to have the same problem. What can I try (besides getting rid of ublock)?

Hello,

When I am using firefox, it crashes 30-40 times a day. I think my drivers are up to date. It is driving me crazy because I use my computer basically all day. Is there a software that it does not work well with? I am wondering if that is the problem. Thanks!

I don't like MSExplorer or Bing. I've set Firefox Quantum 66.0.2 (64bit) as my default browser with search results from Google.

When I type a search in the 'Type here to search' window, MS Explorer opens with a Bing search result.

How do I get the thing to stop opening Explorer and simply open FF?

And again, Firefox is absolutely set as my default (menu/options/'smiley' Firefox is currently your default browser)

The address bar is a simple concept. You type an address in, you hit <Return>, and the browser takes you there.

Not in Firefox 66.0.3!

In 66.0.3 you type in an address (meanwhile the bar is giving you random crap to "help" you and there's no way to turn this off), you hit return, and....nothing!

The only way to actually go where you want to go is to type the address, *click or tab OUT of the bar*, and then *re-enter the bar*. Then and ONLY then will <Return> actually do something.

Based on other questions, this has happened before too.

Why can't you just have an address bar that works as an address bar?

I keep gettting "FireFox has stopped working" dialog boxes, but when I click on the OK in the dialog box, everything keeps working as it should. So while something may have stopped working, FireFox as a whole is just fine, and the only effect is the annoyance of having to click to get rid of the dialog box every time it shows up. I've been waiting for it to happen so I could include a crash report that I knew for sure was for this issue, but it just happened, and there's no crash report line item.

Suddenly while browsing, I got a bar notification saying that some of my addons had been disabled because they were unsupported. Clicking the button took me to a page that showed no addons, but linked to a page for Legacy Addons in which I found 25 of my addons (That's literally all but 2) have been marked as "not verified for use in Firefox" and disabled, despite literally all of them working mere seconds again and a large majority of them being obtained directly from Mozilla's official addon website! Firefox didn't even receive an update or anything, they just all randomly got flagged out of nowhere for no reason. Why are all of my addons suddenly marked as unverified and disabled, and how can I enable them all again?

I am trying to sync my Windows Firefox to my mobile phone Firefox. I have set up sync on the mobile. But I can't enter my mobile phone number on the Windows Firefox. I get "invalid phone number" whenever I enter my UK mobile number. I have tried it with the leading zero. I have tried it with +44 followed by the number without the zero. I have tried it with 044 followed by the number without the zero. I have tried it with 0044 followed by the number without the zero. I have run out of ideas. Can anyone help?

All of a sudden I found all of my addons/extensions in FF 66.0.3 have been disabled and moved to 'Legacy Extensions' on one of my Windows 7 PCs. I have FF 66.0.3 installed on a Windows 10 system with the same group of extensions, and none there have been disabled/moved. Here's a list:

F.B Purity 28.1.0.0 Flash Block (Plus) 0.1.9 Ghostery 8.3.3 New Tab Override 14.2.0 Save Page WE 14.0 uBlock Origin 1.18.6

Thanks for any feedback on what may be causing this, and any suggestions on how to restore these addons on the Windows 7 system.

I updated to 66.0.5 on May 11, 2019 and received notice that adblock plus would be disabled. This comes after all the add-ons were disabled b/c of certificate problem. I had adblock plus for a couple of days(?). I searched for the reason why---it kept giving me the earlier outage.

I searched within Mozilla, I posted this same question before. Is there anyone out there who uses adblock plus? I'd like to know of adblock plus is coming back. thanks!

Dear Mozilla team,

Recently i installed a Mozilla browser on a new device. I log in to my account but nothing is getting synced. I have over 500 bookmarks and several add-ons and those are information that are of utter importance to me. They contain half of my work and research.

Please provide me assistance with this case.

Warmest regards, Kenan

Every since the most recent update to 66.0 the Gmail window has shrunk to half it's size. No other windows are effected and Gmail works fine with Google Chrome. Is there an easy fix for this? I appreciate your help. Thank you.

P.S. I've tried to send a screenshot but for some reason it won't upload. It's just a simple jpeg.
