I have been using the browser extension feedbro and i really enjoyed being able to plop it out of the main browser window and 'add it to the taskbar' but for a couple days this option disappeared. Is there another way to do this? did "add tab to taskbar" get removed for browser extensions? or is this feedbro related? i am unsure how to test whether the button is missing for other browser extensions as well.

added two images showing that the button is gone from feedbro and still there for other tabs/pages

How do I override Mozilla extension. disabling?

Mozilla has disabled the 1Password extension. I've used this version of 1Password extension for years without issue so do not share Mozilla concerns. How do I override the disabling to continue using 1Password as the risk is acceptable to me? It is more important to me to be able to use 1Passsword than Mozilla, so I'll switch to another browser if Mozilla won't let me make my own risk determination.

I'm using Firefox on my Android phone. I am looking for an extension that will suppress the little video in the screenshot that I will append to this question. I already have adguard and ublock but they don't seem to catch this. I wouldn't be as intent on suppressing it if the close box actually worked. Can somebody recommend an extension that can suppress something like this?

I've downloaded the Firefox-recommended "search by image" extension. I can't figure out how to actually use it. Watched several videos, but none of those included the "how to use it" aspect.

If someone has time to respond to this, I'll very much appreciate detail and completeness - I'm afraid I'm not very intuitive.

Thanks in advance

Firefox ignoring EVERY enabled extension

Is anyone monitoring this community? Has it been abandoned?

I've been having an ongoing problem. I fixed it myself, because after posting here, I had zero responses and didn't know what to do, so I messed around and tried things on my own, which seemed to fix it. But apparently, it is not fixed, and I still don't know what to do. A Firefox expert I am not.

Very simply, I use two different computers, each 2000+ miles apart. Each time, and this has worked for well over 3 years now, the entire computer is copied to a backup. The backup data is restored, the current Firefox profile, as well as the Firefox program. To repeat, this has worked for well over 3 years now.

In order to get the extensions working, that requires disabling and then reenabling each one. (Otherwise, Firefox will not access the internet.)

This time, the extensions were disabled and enabled, and everything appeared to be working fine, but nope, not a single extension works. Even choosing a different extension that is normally disabled doesn't work.

I used to use Adaware, which is on the disabled list, so I disabled the non-working Ublock Origin and enabled Adaware, and it doesn't do anything. The ads roam freely all over the page. They pop up and dance around.

Not one extension will work. New, old, enabled, disabled, whatever. Nothing.

Does it bear repeating that I am not a Firefox expert? Without an answer from someone who knows what they're doing, I may as well switch to crap, inferior Edge with the zillions of dancing, pop-up ads. And I hate Edge.

I'm begging for an expert to help here.

Windows ExtensionSettings registry key takes priority over ExtensionSettings REG_SZ/REG_MULTI_SZ

We are managing Firefox settings using Intune via Imported ADMX templates.

We are managing Extension Settings via 'Extension Management (JSON on one line)' which works fine for our force installs, force removals etc.

We have noticed that some users have installed 3rd party extensions which create the ExtensionSettings key in the registry with the 3rd party extension details.

The issue we see if when ExtensionSettings exists as a REG_SZ or REG_MULTI_SZ under `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox` it is then ignored if the `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\ExtensionSettings` key exists.

Is there a setting we can use to have these settings merged by Firefox or have the REG_SZ/REG_MULTI_SZ take priority or is the only way to ensure enterprise policy continues to work we need to migrate our extension settings into the key rather than string?

Thanks!

I would like to see someone come up with a templated browser (or page) that's specific to Facebook which would include the now removed feature of the list of contacts they used to have on their feed page. At one time this list used to be included on the wall as well. I would use that list when viewing FB to show me not only who was currently online, but who was most likely viewing the content I posted. Sadly, to the frustration of many Facebook has changed this feature to a collapseable menu represented with an icon... and at the top of the list when brought up, is a link to the Meta AI (a feature I would also like to block) which I've found can and will chat with a user, although not in a manner I consider satisfactory.

I am wondering what was the exact reason for disabling the 600% volume extension.

Should the users be worried about credential theft or was the extension injecting affiliate links?

I use a number of add-ons to help me out. Unfortunately, the following add-ons aren't working right now: Quicktext, Send Later, TbSync (where and how do I integrate it into Thunderbird?). When sending an email, I have to go through “File” > “Send”—there’s no button for it. The VBA call to send a generated email truncates the string, so the attachment isn’t included.

I’m sure some add-ons will be updated. But this is hitting me hard right now.

Hello, I recently learned that browsers will condense spaces written in HTML down a single space. As someone who thinks putting two spaces after a period is more legible, I was wondering if there is a way to disable this, either in settings or with a browser extension. I know this will result in a less consistent browsing experience because not everyone types this way, however it will make my browsing experience better when reading things written by people who also believe in using two spaces. Thank you.
