Using Firefox browser 126.0.1 via Steam Deck desktop running SteamOS 3.6.22; I am unable to download any extensions. I tried to download uBlock Origin and ProtonVPN through addons.mozilla.org, but recieved an error message:

"Installation aborted because the add-onn appears to be corrupt."

I then checked other extensions I found on the front page recommendations, like "Dark Reader" and "Image Search Options" and they gave me the same error.

Could not find anything that helped my situation upon searching for solutions, any help would be appreciated.

All of my addons are disabled and won't re-enable!

They all say "addon name" could not be verified for use in Nightly and has been disabled. See attachment clipboard00.jpg

If I try to install an addon from the recommended extensions settings (for example "return youtube dislike ") I get a message bubble stating "The Addon downloaded from this site could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt. {OK!}" See attachment clipboard01.jpg

The message above about addons appearing to be corrupt happens if I go to any of my current addon pages and try to redownload them.

I have been using Linkman for over 15 years and have a very large collection of bookmarks. Is there anyway to enable it? I'd hate abandon Firebox as I do need this extension please help.

Thanks

Well, it's happened. I am using the unbranded build specifically so that I do not have to have signed or verified extensions. But tonight my browser broke anyway because of the expiring CA TLS certs for the add-ons repository.

"One or more installed add-ons cannot be verified and have been disabled [Learn More]". If I click the [Learn More] button nothing happens. It just disappears.

And when I check: "uBlock Origin could not be verified for use in Nightly and has been disabled."

This should not be happening in the unbranded builds. I imagine it is happening in the custom Debian esr too. They're supposed to allow unsigned/unverified extensions/add-ons but now this apparently bug is happening.

To be clear, this was expected for normal Firefox releases with all normal extension signing stuff. But that was explicitly not supposed to be required for the unbranded builds. And so this is a bug.

I checked my add-ons in settings to see what was wrong as I noticed the icons were missing. Upon looking at the proper tab, everything "could not be verified" (including themes) even though everything was working perfectly within 24 hours prior to the issue arising. When trying to reinstall anything from the extension store, all I receive is a "this appears to be corrupt and thus will not install." Clicking the "more information" button on any/all affected add-ons reveals that everything is unsigned. How do I alleviate this?

I have installed Ublock Origin.

What I need help with is pinning the extension icon to the icon toolbar. This is important with Ublock Origin because it lets you quickly tell the extension to stop blocking the current domain.

Thank you!

Bitte geben Sie wieder das Add-on von Nuance Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional frei. Wenn das Programm nicht in Firefox funktioniert kann/werde ich wohl oder übel zu Microsoft Edge wechseln müssen

I recently received the new Yahoo email. It will not work unless I remove my ad blocker. How do I do this and still get ads blocked on other channels, e.g. YouTube?

Hello,

My university requires me to logon to use campus services every 24 hours. Upon expiration of the logon credential after the 24 hour period, a logon window will prompt to re-enter credentials. The problem is that it will continue to prompt log in with new pop up windows every few minutes so if I don't log in, for example, over night, I'll wake up to hundreds of log on window pop ups. This creates system wide slowdown due to memory resources being maxed out. I can't enable universal pop up blocks as the systems I require use pop ups and having to open each pop up manually does work in my workflow. Any solutions? Thank you!

New update to Zen browser this morning, indicated that Roboform extension needed to be updated. Uninstalled,re-installed Roboform extension. Zen browser does not seem to use the the extension - no offer to fill passwords, etc.

Can I revert to previous version of the browser?
