i have run this add on for as long as i can remember, recently whenever i open Firefox, Bookmarks Search Plus 2 Opens expanded every time, Bookmarks Search Plus 2 Opens expanded on the left hand side of the monitor every time. I cannot seem to get Firefox to open a new browsing session OR a new tab without the left almost quarter screen to show Bookmarks Search Plus 2 . How do i get this to stop? I have closed it and shut down FF and restarted, same result.

Why do I get "Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist" when I use Roboform's option? I think this started after a Firefox update. My whole homepage changed with the update.

After my laptop BSOD, I had to re-install windows 11 while backing up all the previous settings and apps. I used "Free Download Manager(FDM)" as my default downloader of movies from websites that generated Magnet links. On clicking the magnet link the FDM is not opening by default, no action is seen. I've tried many options including the Support Centre of FDM from where I was advised to visit my browser support. I have used Firefox for 14 years, let me know where I'm wrong.

Sir, I am unable to add 'Grammarly' in my Firefox browser extension. Every time, the following message appears: "The connection has timed out". Please look into it. Regards

Hello,

My university requires me to logon to use campus services every 24 hours. Upon expiration of the logon credential after the 24 hour period, a logon window will prompt to re-enter credentials. The problem is that it will continue to prompt log in with new pop up windows every few minutes so if I don't log in, for example, over night, I'll wake up to hundreds of log on window pop ups. This creates system wide slowdown due to memory resources being maxed out. I can't enable universal pop up blocks as the systems I require use pop ups and having to open each pop up manually does work in my workflow. Any solutions? Thank you!

Hi there all!

I have been using these Add-on's for years and suddenly this week they 'dropped off' - note the greyed out ones that no longer work. I did report the add on's via the button inside to the developers as potentially broken but I'm not sure how I would hear anything back from them about that. After about 4-5 days now they are still not working. I'm unsure why they are greyed out, and the others are not - why these stopped working and the others ok. Here are the screen shots of the ones I'm referring to! They were *VERY GOOD* add on's! I would super love them back.

If you have any advice please let me know.

Thank you.

OK, for me, this has always been the 'go to' browser of choice.... until recently...!! I've tried a whole heap of browsers, some open-source derivatives, some based on gecko, you name it, I've tried it.... for Mac and for Windows, although I won't put some of those tripe PC ones on my beloved Mac, and there in lies the problem...!! My Mac Pro is a 17yr old quad which is still quick by today's standard and I run El Capitan as it won't upgrade anymore, running Firefox v78... I don't it to be running the most up to date b'cos I'm not doing anything special to warrant getting t'morrow's browser today.... my problem is.... some of the extension which made this browser run faster have been stopped due to verification issues...!! How did these extensions make to the Add-ons if they were never verified in the first place as they were in use for a while before use was halted...!! Now, I get stupid pop-ups randomly, along with salacious material asking my to join suggestive websites and worse, some of which bounce to 'other' websites when you try to delete them...!! Do you not have ways of verifying these extension before they hit the Add-ons page...?

i had sidebar with a temp gpt chat, needed an url from my history, clicked ctrl-h and well my sidebar history opens, then i click back to the aichatbot and my chat is empty , i know it was temporary chat, but i did not expected to loose it by opening history.

Can i change the behavior ?

I had the Capital One Shopping extension show up on my extensions list, I think from maybe a misclick while checking out online, and so I uninstalled it yesterday on my laptop because it was slowing my browser down and throwing annoying popups. I didn't and don't trust an extension like this with my browsing data. So I was concerned today when I pulled up a Firefox window on my desktop PC (same Firefox account) and a second tab opened up automatically with the Uninstall Survey for this extension. I filled that out yesterday when I uninstalled the extension. I checked, and the extension has been uninstalled--it no longer appears on my extensions list on any device. I assume that it's just that this is the first time I've opened Firefox on the same account on a different device, and Firefox is somehow repeating the prompt to open the survey tab. But I've never had this happen before and I don't love that it's a tracking extension that did it. Do I have anything to be concerned about here? Or is this a normal fluke of Firefox accounts on multiple devices and not the fault of this extension?

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.

Forum users : Gmail on my Windows 10 PC runs very slowly when the Lastpass extension is enabled. This ONLY happens with Gmail. In fact I get an alert that Lastpass is slowing down Firefox. Gmail is fine when the extension is removed. Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so have you found a solution other than removing the Lastpass extension?

Thanks!
