Installation aborted because the add-on appears to be corrupt. OmegaSwitch

Hello, I encountered an error when trying to install the extension. I've never encountered anything like this before

For a few days now whenever a new tab opens, either by clicking a link in search results or by clicking a link in an email, the cursor jumps to the bottom of the page and I have to scroll to the top of the page. I'm just getting started with Windows 11 on a new computer. What happened to cause this?

I can't get firefox to play amazon music web page or netflix because it claims to be installing an app which it never completes. I've tried to purge cache for the site in question, to no avail. What is the solution?

I'm having trouble posting here with that error message, and problems uploading images, so forgive me if you have not seen the latest updated post.

You are still on the beta update channel as you can see in the "Help -> About Firefox" screenshots.

You can possibly check about:support for the path of the Firefox binary and profile folder..

Above you mention portable, are you using a portable Firefox version? To update, it's just a matter of extracting the executable and replacing the contents of the portable folder.

What differentiates the "portable"method, that I've been using as my method for years without an incident, up until recent recent Firefox releases? The only thing I do when there's an update is replace the contents of the install folder, the same folder that the profile manager is pointing to, with the contents of the extracted executable,

I just realized the existence of this folder in about:support "Update Folder: C:\ProgramData\Mozilla-1de4eec8-1241-4177-a864-e594e8d1fb38\updates\C47CD37E750B0BD0. I tried to delete it. It recreated itself, changed my settins to "Update Autoimatically" and wiped out my entire session.

The contents of it's update-config.json file are the following. Would changing these values to "false" do any good? Or perhaps altering the contents of updates.xml in the same folder

"{"__DEFAULTS__":{"app.update.auto":true,"app.update.background.enabled":true},"app.update.auto":false}"

I do have a "Profile" folder at C:\Users\mr\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles. The two entries are from 2019. One is empty, ans these are the contents of the other

profile contents

help me restore my pre update condition. This is very upsetting My tabs, bookmarks, everything is gone, gone, gonegone Can I just delete this version 128.0.3 and go back to previous version, which was functional?

Hello, since the last firefox browser updates I cannot access anymore cyberfolks.pl, and it is really a problem because I have my working emails and the hosting of my company website of cyberfolks. Can you please fix this?

Dear Firefox, I want to install any VPN app to access my Bank account, but my phone number is not available because I am outside the Americas. Can you let me know how can I install and use any VPN program you provide? Thank you so much for your help!

best, CAN

Downloading emails became grindingly slow and so I re-installed Firefox only to find that years of saved emails across many many folders, as well as contact addresses have vanished.

Help please

Hello. How on earth I disable updates? I tried in about:config, but there - the updates come back. So how I disable uploads completely? The second question is: Why do you have so many updates? I don't wanna be the slave to your updates, I don't wanna be the slave to your updates so badly that I will risk all security and everything in my life just to get rid of them! Why? Why? How can I disable updates? I don't want you to touch my computer digitally ever again! Please advise. Otherwise, I am completely leaving Mozilla after 30+ years of usage. And turning to some completely other browser that is not based on google engine and doesn't need more than one update monthly, and if, that I am aiming that for long. What in the hell you have to update so much? Almost on [redacted] daily basis? Are you completely nuts? What is wrong with you? What is wrong with you? Do you also want me to sue you in front of the EU courts? Whats wrong with you? Darko Bertovic Software Engineer, 40+ years experience
