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.

Hi, I am using Firefox to open my different mail boxes from : yahoo.fr or orange.fr or laposte.net. Usually everything are going OK and I can read the attached files except the one sent by my friend from England. Sorry for my English but you may have understood I am french (nobody is perfect). Well, I am using windows 11, he is using windows 11 ; I am using Firefox but he is using mainly Microsoft Outlook. All his attachment are coded as winmail.dat and I can't open them. If I use Microsoft Edge it's not much better. When he uses Chrome and Gmail it's perfect and I can open his attachment with Firefox. He is a computer man, programmer, and his Outlook seems to be correctly set and he doesn't understand the problem or what's happening. I am not the only one in that case. It seems it's an Outlook setting specific problem according to Microsoft. Clearly, I don't want to give up with Firefox. Does it exist an add-on or extension for Firefox which could solve this difficulty ? or a decoder add-on ? It seems there is at least one for Thunderbird but 6 yo... Would it run under Firefox even it's specific ? For fun I should try Firefox with Linux just to see if Linux is better at decoding winmail.dat attachments. Thanks for any help, setting or specific add-on you can provide me. Richard.

I have McAfee+ Ultimate Family Security package and was attempting to set up its Password Manager. As it worked out their tech rep indicated that Firefox (which is my default by choice) does not support that particular extension for some reason. Is Firefox/McAfee collaborating to resolve this issue?

Hello, Recently tried to open a Extension clicking it to configurate it, but the Extension menu didn't show up. I tried using other profiles, clear my data and a bunch of things. It happens with any Extension.

  • It started happening when I formatted my PC
  • It's not a Extension problem, it's firefox problem because i tried in other browsers
  • I tried using other Firefox versions and forks
  • Also using geckium theme (Makes firefox look like Chrome 2009+)

Please, if you can help me i will thank that.

I did a new Windows 10 install yesterday. I then added my favourite apps.

When I got Firefox installed, adjusted the settings and added my extensions (most of which I've used for years), I found a glitch.

The icons for AdBlocker Ultimate and LastPass do not show up in the Customize Toolbar menu. I keep both of these on my toolbar in the past.

I've tried restarting Firefox several times and, finally, tried running it in Troubleshoot Mode. The last, it seems, doesn't allow the use of extension.

So ... please help!

I want to change the name of my Firefox extension from "eBird reviewer utilities" to "eBird reviewer assistant". I thought that it would be sufficient simply to change the name in the manifest:

 "name": "eBird reviewer utilities",
 "version": "1.3.46",

to

 "name": "eBird reviewer assistant",
 "version": "1.3.47",

(This was sufficient for Chrome.)

Firefox on my Windows 11 laptop processed this exactly as I expected, picking up the new version and new name. However, Firefox on my Windows 11 desktop does not recognize that there is an update, it only says no updates available. Likewise, Firefox on my Android phone has not picked up the update.

I noticed that the name on the product page was still the old one, so I tried renaming it there, and bumping to version to 1.3.47.1. On the Developer Hub, the extension is correctly listed with the new name and version (see attached screenshot)

However, my desktop running at 1.3.46 still says "No updates found". (See second attached screenshot)

So my first question is, is the confusion related to the attempted name change? And secondly, regardless of the reason, how do get the update recognized?

One of if not my most favorite addon "context search" has recently been flagged as violating mozillas tos. I'm talking about this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/contextsearch

I am unable to find further explanation or the exact reason for this decision, but I am able to activate it again at my own risk. Seeing as I don't know what the problem is, I am hesitant to do so. Could someone explain what the issue is and if it's safe to continue using that addon? Am I or is my personal information at risk, since I have been using the addon regularly?

I have recently installed the containers extension and have been having a bit of trouble with one site (the others are fine), which seems to originate from the manner in which the site is structured. As it references new pages, they are often in a different URL. For example, you start in login.site.com, which then tries to load dashboard.site.com, but it fails authentication on dashboard.site.com because it opens in a different container. Which then tries to open the login.site.com page again, which displays the login page, but showing it tying to complete the original authentication. I have tried to add each step along the way, but without success. Is there a way to overcome this?

The moment my version of Firefox auto-updated to 141.0.2 (64-bit), all of my extensions disabled. There is no option to re-enable them and no indicator of why they are disabled.

I found that switching to a new profile allows them to work, but of course that's not really an option; I have huge amounts of custom stuff in eg. Greasemonkey that I cannot afford to lose.

What can I do to preserve my extensions without losing things like Greasemonkey scripts? Again, deleting them and reinstalling them is not an option if it would lose their individual configurations.
