Hello everyone. I make backups of folder "bookmarkbackups" in Firefox profile folder, so that when I have to make a restore after a data loss (for whatever reason), I can also restore my bookmarks. I'd like to be able to restore my extensions too, and to do this it would be enough to have a backup of the list of extensions I had installed before the trouble happened. However, if I backup the subfolder "extensions" of the profile folder, I would have a list of files the name of which looks like:

FirefoxColor@mozilla.com.xpi idcac-pub@guus.ninja.xpi uBlock0@raymondhill.net.xpi vpn@proton.ch.xpi {3d92ddc3-5581-453f-ad9f-d9ea864d1f9a}.xpi {531906d3-e22f-4a6c-a102-8057b88a1a63}.xpi

..so that in most cases I cannot guess the extension name from the file name. My purpose is to install manually the extensions in the new browser installation, once I have the list of the extensions. Moreover, in that folder you find all the extensions, both the ones which were active, and the ones which were inactive... But I'd like to have a list of the active ones so that I can re-install only that ones.

Does anyone know how can I get such a list, starting from the profile folder?

Many thanks in advance.

I have already installed Firefox when I try to download extensions redirects me App Store it shows open please fix problem any suggestions thanks

All of my links end up at the same site no matter where they should go I found an extension I think was causing the problem but it is grayed out so I can't delete it

I downloaded capital one shopping add-on. But I never established a user name or password anywhere. If I need to do this before using it, please tell me exactly where and how to do this! (All of this stuff confuses me.)

After defaulting Firefox, the previously used add-ons Easy-YouTube downloader, Easy YouTube Video Downloader Pro as well as YouTube Online Video Downloader do not appear on Youtube anymore, like they did before. This never happened before. It was always possible to add and use them again. What to do? Thank you for your help.. I should maybe add that I use a Laptop with Windows Seven. Laugh if you like, I want nothing else, why would I ? I know how to use this thing and it took me long enough, the newer Microsoft Programmes I came across are so terrible, I wonder how any-one can stand them. Thanks again for your time.

My Dashlane password manager extension wasn't working, so I deleted it and planned to reinstall it. When I tried to download this extension again, I got the following error message: "Installation aborted because the add-on appears to be corrupt."

I have the most recent update of Firefox 147.0.2 (64-bit). Please let me know how to fix this issue, as I heavily rely on this extension to sign in to most websites.

some of my icons on the location bar do not appear, or only appear when I have the window maximized. How can I reorder thewse icons so the ones I want to see most often are on the left? this refers specifically to the add-on icons, but I would think all the icons are controlled the same way (that is, if one can control them).

On my Facebook feed/timeline images don't show when I use Firefox and they are visible when I use Microsoft edge browser. I googled and I found this explanation: The most common reason for photos not showing in your Facebook feed is that an add-on or extension you have installed in your web browser (often Firefox) is blocking the photos being loaded from Facebook.

Will someone, please, tell me the answer to my question

Good afternoon,

A while ago I set up an extension from savefrom.net - a video download service. Unfortunately, somewhere in the fine print the extension sets up a "managed by your organisation" policy where their link is alays displayed in the bookmarks. I wonder if there is any way to remove it? Thank you.

The add-on in question: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/savefromnet-helper/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search

My organization has an air-gapped development network in which we need to deploy an internally developed extension. We are attempting to do this via GPO with the latest version of Firefox ESR. We have been running into an issue where the extension is not being installed when the browser starts. After reviewing the distribution documentation for Firefox add-ons it appears that we have to submit the extension to be signed by Mozilla, the problem here is that our extension is on the air-gapped network and cannot be moved to an internet connected device per our clients policies.

I had read on this page page that Firefox ESR does allow unsigned extensions if you set `xpinstall.signatures.required` to `false` but that conflicts with the Add-on signing in Firefox support page that states: "Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR): Some versions allowed overrides, but most recent ESR releases also enforce signing."

So we appear to be at an impasse, we cannot have the extension signed and we are required to use the ESR version of Firefox (the Nightly and Developer versions are not allowed.) Is there anyway that we could selfsign the extension? Or bypass the requirement via GPO?
