hi, I have a bit of an issue, which I'll try to explain my situation first. Thing is, I mainly use ethernet (because I need to), but a tiny piece of my laptop's casing fell off, so now the ethernet cable isn't fixed, and easily disconnects from small movements. It rarely happens, I mostly avoid it, but not always. I could be using wi-fi, but that has it's own random disconnect issues (which I'll probably try to fix in the future, but that's not what this question is about)

my question is, if the disconnection happens in the middle of extension updates (they have auto updates enabled), will that break the update/the extension itself? Do I need to worry about that? Or will it cancel and fully restart the update? Does it make sure that everything stays not broken, in situations like that?

it would be great to know this about browsers in general (since I occasionally use some others), but I understand this is a Firefox forum, so I don't demand answers for that.

If I use extension 'Block Site' (shows up as a stop-sign shaped icon with a 'W' on it) to block a site, when I try to unblock it, it fails, with the below message:

"This operation cannot be performed in incognito mode. Please open the page in a regular browsing window and try again."

I am just clicking on the (whichever) site, from a search - not opening a private window... This extension used to work fine.

I did install DuckDuckGo browser, but removed it, as it was more trouble than it was worth. I would have to reboot my PC after each use before FireFox would connect.

I've been using alt+a to open new tabs in a multi account container for a long time. Recently that shortcut stopped working possibly with the update to v148 as indicated in this reddit thread.

alt+a is not listed as a shortcut in about:keyboard or in about:addons > manage extension shortcuts or in my ubuntu shortcuts nor in any software I can think of thats running. I've disabled all add-ons except multi account containers and it still does not work. Changing the shortcut to another works fine.

Why would just that shortcut stop working? What else can I do to diagnose the problem?

When I put my PC to sleep, my add-ons disappear and stop showing up, and I get automatically logged out of sites I was logged into. After that, a message appeared saying that Tab Session Manager was corrupted. When I tried to repair it, all 200 or so tabs I had saved previously disappeared. How can I fix this? I’m really stuck.
