Hello!

I first installed Video Download Helper several weeks ago and it worked fine. However, since the update of 04 March, 2026, it no longer works with YouTube. (It does, however, still work with Instagram.) Having checked all of the settings (which I had/have not changed), I uninstalled it today and then re-installed it. This hasn't helped. With YouTube, the Downloader icon (pinned to toolbar) simply remains grey and does not show any videos when opened. I am using the latest, fully updated version of Firefox with Windows 10.

Can anyone help, please?

Many thanks,

Stuart.

When I open Amazon's page a splash screen appears that takes up a third of the screen. This splash screen provides keystroke shortcuts. Are you responsible. If HOW MAY I PERMANENTLY ELIMINATE THIS ANNOYANCE?

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.

How can I block the google account sign in dialog box on weather.com. I can't close it or get rid of it. It permanently obscures part of the screen. I use Windows 11 and the most current version of Firefox. This problem began within the last few months.

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?

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 asap.

How can I stop advertisers from changing my 'Settings' fields 'Home page and new windows' to their URL which brings up their page before I can enter my password? I'm on Linux Desk Top.

I'm using Firefox v126. I'm searching through the add-ons trying to find a few that I like and most don't work with my older version of Firefox. So I click into the version history of the add-on and find an older version of the add-on that will work with the version of Firefox I am running. Except... I click it and I get:

"The add-on downloaded from this site could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt."

say what? ok maybe a fluke, so I click on through, older version, older version, still old version. All give me the same error. Okay, maybe its just the add-on, no, its literally any older version of any add-on.

No way all those versions of add-ons are "corrupt." I can download the .xpi, rename to .zip and view the contents. Anyone run into this particular problem before and if so, how did you fix it? I'm keen to keep v126 of Firefox and would like to use the add-ons that I like to work with it.

currently using FF; I do NOT have any ad blocking software installed ( that I know of) I searched my computer for the word block, and it did not show it anywhere. I also have Mozilla Seamonkey installed, but not using it. Each time I visit a news website I get a popup that claims Im using an ad blocker. I have searched all those adbocker pgms on my computer and none exist. Why am I getting these pop ups. I think I also checked the AVG pgm, but didnt see an adblocker there. How do I fix this situation from continuing

bold text simple question - i want to add Grok to the AI sidebar options... why doesnt the Grok addon work any longer Im using the latest firefox as my default browser

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
