I seem to have been using Firefox for so long, that I’ve forgotten some of the basics. I have two Apple systems. An M1, 2020 MacBook Pro and an Intel Mac Mini. Due to issues with the MacBook Pro I needed to reformat it and am slowly adding all my applications. When I added Firefox, logged in and entered the confirmation code and synced my settings none of my extensions appeared in the menu bar (please see the screenshot as to how they appear on the Mac Mini). So the question I have is what do I need to do to get them there on the MacBook Pro.

How do I generate a "System Diagnostic Log"?

Hello, I'm having problems running the Synology C2 Password extension in Firefox and the Synology support engineer wants me to send them a "System Diagnostic Log". In detail, they asked me to do the following: 1. Launch Support Center on your device. 2. Go to Support Services. 3. Click Generate Logs. Is this something you do in Firefox, or is this generated by the computer operating system? I'm running a MacBook Pro with macOS Big Sur 11.5.2 and Firefox Version 136.0.4. Thank you very much to whoever answers my question. Cheers.

Make chrome extensions install on Firefox and make the Vertical tabs layout is default

I'd like to share some feedback as a long-time admirer of Firefox. While I consider it the best browser available, the primary reason I recently switched to Edge is the lack of a critical extension that is exclusively available on the Chromium platform. I am confident that if Firefox implemented compatibility with Chromium extensions, it would be poised to become the world's leading browser. Additionally, the vertical tabs feature is exceptionally well-designed. I would strongly encourage the team to consider setting it as the default layout.

Hello, I occasionally go into the Firefox Extensions Manager and request it to check for updates. Today, I happened to notice that my extension for NordVPN was quite old (Version 5.2.2), and I was not able to get it to update. Therefore, I removed that extension and downloaded it again, which installed the latest Version 5.6.2. Is this a bug in Firefox? I am running Firefox 151.0.4 on macOS Monterey 12.7.6. Thanks!

I installed the 4 choice AI system and used it once and was impressed. At that very same site I wanted to highlite copy and paste but when I did the highlight was so faint as to be almost invisable . After some attempts and not wanting to lose that feature I deleted the AI via mouse right click. Realizing that was not the problem I have searched several times but cannot get any further thru settings and more tools to try to Reinstall that feature . Also the sparkle button never showed with the fisrt install. It originally appeared of its own accord . Will I get the choice again when I reboot .. ? hope you can help me thanks mike

i have run this add on for as long as i can remember, recently whenever i open Firefox, Bookmarks Search Plus 2 Opens expanded every time, Bookmarks Search Plus 2 Opens expanded on the left hand side of the monitor every time. I cannot seem to get Firefox to open a new browsing session OR a new tab without the left almost quarter screen to show Bookmarks Search Plus 2 . How do i get this to stop? I have closed it and shut down FF and restarted, same result.

"Optional" AI Features and Disabling Ad Blockers

Good Evening,

I switched to Firefox as my primary browser from Chrome due to Chrome's instance on forcing unnecessary and intrusive AI features onto the platform, and their revoking support for ad blockers.

Anthony Enzor-DeMeo's quote from his recent blog post announcing that Firefox "will evolve into a modern AI browser" is a huge red flag for me. I do not care how much he may promise the features will be "something people can easily turn off", I do not trust it will remain that way. Mozilla will have a bad quarter and suddenly those won't be optional features anymore. I have seen it happen with other tech companies and it's infuriating that Mozilla seems to be merrily skipping down the same path.

In addition to the AI bloat Mozilla seems to insisting they need, Enzor-DeMeo recently said that "He could begin to block ad blockers in Firefox and estimates that'd bring in another $150 million, but he doesn't want to do that." To even joke about that is an astounding misstep. I specifically joined Firefox to be able to use an ad blockers.

I've enjoyed my time with Firefox and have recommended it to friends in the past, but I have changed browsers before. If Firefox continues to forge ahead with these frankly absurd changes, I will have to do so again.

OK, for me, this has always been the 'go to' browser of choice.... until recently...!! I've tried a whole heap of browsers, some open-source derivatives, some based on gecko, you name it, I've tried it.... for Mac and for Windows, although I won't put some of those tripe PC ones on my beloved Mac, and there in lies the problem...!! My Mac Pro is a 17yr old quad which is still quick by today's standard and I run El Capitan as it won't upgrade anymore, running Firefox v78... I don't it to be running the most up to date b'cos I'm not doing anything special to warrant getting t'morrow's browser today.... my problem is.... some of the extension which made this browser run faster have been stopped due to verification issues...!! How did these extensions make to the Add-ons if they were never verified in the first place as they were in use for a while before use was halted...!! Now, I get stupid pop-ups randomly, along with salacious material asking my to join suggestive websites and worse, some of which bounce to 'other' websites when you try to delete them...!! Do you not have ways of verifying these extension before they hit the Add-ons page...?
