I'm developing a parental control add-on, installed with policies.json. It works... but it's easy to disable it by simply deactivating it in private windows + opening a private window, which kinda makes it useless.

Is there a way to force my add-on to work in private windows, regardless of user choice?

If that's not possible, is it possible to somehow disable private windows while the add-on is disabled in private windows.

Note: I know that I can disable private browsing entirely with policies.json `privatebrowsingmodeavailability`, but I'd rather avoid it. Kids browing privately is a good idea :)

For quite some time, certain pop ups will not appear when trying to work in Google Sheets through the Firefox desktop browser. I have gone into the browser's settings and allowed pop ups for the exact link for Google Sheets, but that has not fixed the issue. The pop ups that won't work are the ones for resizing columns/rows, and the "Save as a PDF" export option. If I open my Google Sheets in Google Chrome, it works just fine, but I switched to Firefox so I could stop using that browser. Any insight on how to fix this is much appreciated.

I am reaching out with a request regarding the regional availability of my add-on.

I would like to disable access to my add-on for users in Russia. Could you please guide me on how to restrict its availability in this specific region? If there are any settings in the Developer Hub or additional steps I need to take, I would appreciate detailed instructions.

About once a week, since 1/4/25, I been receiving different emails demanding payment or the author will divulge to all of my email contacts about the pornography I am supposedly viewing, which I do not. Can you do anything to close these email accounts? All of the messages are from different authors with different email addresses. I keep thinking this will run its course and end but it has not. Thanks. Jim Woodburn

Up until recently if I suspected a javascript error all I needed to do was type Ctrl-Shift-K and the console would display showing me javascript errors. With the most recent update of Firefox that doesn't happen. I can bring up the console but there are no errors displayed.

Thanks in advance, Paul

PS. a topic called "Debugging issues" of something similar should be added to the topic dropdown list.

I have a question about using Firefox PDF Editor. I copied some text from a PDF document that is on my computer, by highlighting the text and then hitting Ctrl+C. The text copied onto my clipboard OK. Then I opened a blank PDF document in the Firefox PDF Editor and tried to paste that text into the blank document, but I wasn't able to do so because when I right-clicked on the blank document and then clicked on "paste", nothing happened. This apparently is because the word "paste" is faded-out in the drop-down menu (i.e., it does not appear in prominent bold print). Google's Artificial Intelligence seems to indicate that the technique I used would work (see screenshot which I've uploaded). But it didn't work, so can anyone please tell me how can I paste text into that blank document?
