Currently on T72 Beta 1 but many addons are disabled or will not install. I want to roll back to an older version T68 but when I install, I get an message that the profile has been altered and is only compatible with the newer version. Do I want to create a new profile which defeats the purpose of the rollback.

LastPass was installed and running until Firefox automatically upgraded to ver. 71 and now it's been disabled. Even though LastPass is a "recommended" extension, when I try to re-install from Mozilla I get the message "an unexpected error occurred during installation" (see attached file). LP users report the same problem on their site but it's clearly a Firefox 71 problem (LP works fine will all my other browsers).

How do I put the Tabs on Bottom with Firefox 71? Once again, with their update, they SCREWED UP.

I attempted to reuse the Chrome fix that was successful for previous versions, but that did not work. I want my Tabs on the Bottom where "I" put them, not they way Firefox thinks I am supposed to have them I am sure others are having the same difficulty.
Used the fix for Tabs on Bottom but lost the top right buttons for minimize, cascade, restore, exit.
The above pretty much sums it up. I at least have tabs on bottom and haven't done any coding in 40+ years but I'll try some tweaks but would really like the above mentio… (read more)

Hi, after many days spent to find out how to get my unsigned add-on to work, I'm able to run it only once after first installation.
Here is what I did: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1273813
Add-on works either in debug mode, loaded from file and installed via policies.json until I close browser. Next time I run FF my add-on is not invoked at all.
manifest.json file contains this directive:
"browser_specific_settings": {
"gecko": {
"id": "myaddon@domain.local"
}
}
Probably I miss something, but I did not find it in documentation. Any help will be appreciated Thanks in advance
I found how to view browser activity during restart, you can view it here: https://pastebin.com/pB2qBpR2 Thanks

This must have been asked over and over, but I've not been here before, so please forgive me. I cannot seem to find a simple dictionary extension for Firefox Quantum, something which defines a highlighted word. The one in Chrome works just fine, but I prefer to use Firefox. We used to have pop-up dictionaries, but they seem to have gone away. A search on the extensions page invariable deals only with translation dictionaries. Should I just stop looking for one, or am I missing something. Thanks.
How can I find a specific add-on on addons.mozilla.org since the search function doesn't find it by exact name or author?

I was trying to locate all of my add-ons on https://addons.mozilla.org so I could bookmark them for a backup in case my PC has a figurative meltdown. Some are extremely simple to find but others seem impossible to locate. I even logged into the addons page thinking it would show my installed addons so I could locate them. Well no, it doesn't. Which doesn't make sense. Similarly lacking sense is an advanced search. There doesn't seem to be a way to search by title or author, just by a vague keyword. From what I'm seeing of results, it seems that it either picks one word out of many to search for or boils it down to some other vague term. Even if I type in the exact title it will bring up completely different results along with some that are similar to what I have installed. Author searches don't bring up anything. There has to be a way to locate specific add-ons right? The search seems completely useless as is except to browse. Similarly, why don't installed add-ons link to their page on addons.mozilla.org? So how do I find my addon? This is exactly the reason WHY I want to bookmark them so that I don't have a problem finding them in the future when there's more addons to sift through. Amazing that I can't find it while I have it installed. (The one I'm looking for is Dark YouTube Theme by NiCU Natrapeiu)
I know I can just switch to any number of other similar add-ons but this one works and it infuriates me that I'd have to choose a different one just because the search function is terrible. Keep in mind it is already installed. I want to find the page for it at addons.mozilla.org so that I can reinstall it in the future should I need to do a fresh installation.

Hi
Running Firefox 71.0 (64 bit)
Well seems Firefox has been messing this up again.
Anyone have the new work around solution to get my tabs back on the bottom again. They were fine this morning then shut down and went out to lunch and when I came back they were back on the top again after months of being where I wanted them below my bookmark bar.
Thoughts on this?
Thanks Dave

On my personal laptop, I have the Multi-Account Containers extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/) running smoothly. I'm currently on a public desktop computer , and I enabled Firefox Sync, which did a good job for passwords, bookmarks, etc, but it didn't sync any of my container info for the Multi-Account Containers add-on. I see the default containers: Personal, Work, Bank, Shopping. On my personal laptop, I have about a dozen containers. What's wrong?

Wondering if there is any way to setup that when I select "Get Messages" on the Mail Toolbar, that ALL accounts are checked. Used to run an addon (Get selected Mails) but apparently Mozilla is making it difficult to support simple addons.... Would have thought that this would be a simple/obvious choice in Preferences or similar.
Thanks.
No convenient way to rate all installed extensions

I've been using Firefox for a while and I came across some great extensions. I would like to give each of them a rating to help other people find better extensions, but there seems no easy way to do so. On Google Play you can review installed extensions in Play Store easily by click each of them and use the one-tap rating button. On iOS, if you allow them, App Store will even prompt you a one-tap rater after you've installed some app and used for a while, which is even more convenient. I wonder if Firefox (could) have the same experience. Without it, it's harder to encourage people (who wish to spare the time) to involve in the rating system.

In the main TB window, the pane on the right has column headers that one can choose. There is a column header for the From field of each email, but it shows only the NAME portion of the complete email address "NAME <acct@example.com>". When I right-click the header bar, or left-click the icon that looks like a musical symbol, I get a drop-down menu for selecting the columns. But there seems to be no entry in this menu for the "acct@example.com" part of the From or Recipient email address, or indeed for the complete email address.
