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 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.

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.

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?

Turned on laptop this morning after arriving at work -- Addon icons gone and Addons not functioning. Why was this fault in 152.0.5 not disclosed before committing to upgrading the the browsers I support for distance consultants ? Click the Manage Extensions icon and there are no "gears" to click to "Pin to toolbar". This is terrible. I have a half hour until those folks arrive at work in Lost Angeles. Wow. I want to revert to a previous version. Where do I get them ? I am a DBA and NOT support for unstable browsers. FF consistently causing me time and money but "befehl ist befehl" and it is the browser we are ordered to use. I believe management has conflated Free and Functional/useful when selecting our S/W tools.

"Moz-extension" from My Financial Expert, scam?

Every time I see a box to enter a username or on some websites, any box that needs information filled in, a pop-up box appears that says "unlock your password manager." I was finally able to get to a website at moz-extension://b5ea3638-1832-4174-a490-4c5e77c0dbc6/html/index.html. The page says "Welcome My Financial Expert Password Manager securely stores, organizes, and autofills your logins, passwords, and more. Sign in to get started." Is this a legitimate mozilla extension? Is this a scam? How do I get rid of it (it's REALLY annoying!)? Thank you for your help and any insight.

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.

Many extensions don't work on support.mozilla.org

Hi 🙂 This is a follow-up to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1511440.

The problem is this: support.mozilla.org is a site intended for asking support questions, and it is very inconvenient not to be able to use extensions that assist with typing (notably Unicodify and Clippings).


i have 2 suggestions to do:

1) Let the user choose whether to keep extensions enabled (in which case support.mozilla.org is not privileged, the user cannot send "Troubleshooting Information", and there is no security vulnerability), or to send "Troubleshooting Information" (in which case extensions are disabled).

2) Review the design of support.mozilla.org in a way that a subdomain like ffinfos.support.mozilla.org is privileged instead of support.mozilla.org, Firefox sends "Troubleshooting Information" to ffinfos.support.mozilla.org, and extensions are enabled on support.mozilla.org but can never interact with data that Firefox would send to ffinfos.support.mozilla.org.

What do you think about this?
