Since Firefox was forcefully updated to 68.0 and higher nothing works. It’s so “SECURE” now not even the owner of the PC can access the web. I cannot check my email; I cannot do any online shopping etc. I already downloaded and installed Opera browser. If someone knows how to do the settings so Firefox works again that would be nice otherwise I will be forced to just use other browsers

Hi, fyi : Windows10 force updates the whole Operating System This can possibly explain the issue to you. The owner has installed these Privacy Extensions/addons :

  • Ad-Blocker 4.0.0 ({b89efd87-232e-4829-87d2-22148919d72f})
  • Facebook Container 2.0.1 (@contain-facebook)
  • Ghostery – Privacy Ad Blocker 8.3.4 (firefox@ghostery.com)
  • Privacy Badger 2019.7.1.1 (jid1-MnnxcxisBPnSXQ@jetpack)

Suggest Disable below and enable it as needed as it is very strong and possibly the issue.

  • NoScript 11.0 ({73a6fe31-595d-460b-a920-fcc0f8843232})

Suggest picking one that does the job and Remove the rest of the downloaders :

  • Video Downloader professional 1.98.2 (ffext_basicvideoext@startpage24)
  • Video DownloadHelper 7.3.7 ({b9db16a4-6edc-47ec-a1f4-b86292ed211d})
  • YouTube Download Plus 2.2.1 (addon@ytdownloader.info)
  • YouTube Downloader 1.6.17 ({307f416a-39c0-49e0-8e96-cf802290e33c})
  • YouTube Video Download 6.0.1 (@yvd-addon)
  • YouTube Video Downloader/YouTube HD Download 1.0.81 (youtubedownloader@youtubedownloadvideo1clickgroup.com)

Please restart Firefox after any changes.
