The solution given there was to change extensions.screenshots.disabled in about:config.

Unfortunately, my Mozilla Firefox (ver. 144.0 (64-bit)) doesn't have extensions.screenshots.disabled. So what now?

I have Bing as my homepage, but on one computer I have a very annoying problem. I click on the settings to turn off 'Show news and interests' and 'Show trending on Bing', but the next time I come back to the homepage these settings have turned themselves back on. What do I have to do to retain these settings?

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.

How do I escalate the presence of a malicious extension for removal from the store?

[Coupongogo: Automatic Coupons & Cashback](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/coupongogo-automatic-coupons/) is a malicious extension programed with a command and control server located in China.

Despite [Firefox user reports](https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1pl0u6m/malicious_addon_does_not_get_taken_down/), the extension remains available on the Mozilla addon store.

A [rastersec.com contributor explains](https://www.rastersec.com/blog/coupongogo-cryptostealer),

>\[Coupongogo\] operates as a remote-controlled time bomb, utilizing a dynamic configuration system to evade detection, hijack all search and browsing traffic, and wait for a server command to activate its dormant theft capabilities targeting major cryptocurrency exchanges.

Given the lack of success at securing the privacy and security of users by using the standard addon reporting tool, how can I escalate this matter to a responsible Mozilla party for triage?

I am using Kubuntu 25.04. I tried support but the support in Firefox doesn't seem to have much help for OSes beyond Windows even though they make a native Linux version. I subscribe to several extensions and use Firefox sync to get the extensions onto a new computer but they don't automatically pin to the menu bar. I figured out how to do that once but I forgot how I did that and can't find it in help. Can someone please tell me how to do that. Mozilla, if you are reading this you might want to improve the support in your Linux version.

Can you help me out, please?

To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier.

Could you please disable your browser's Firefox addons just for a minute, make a post and see if you are still seeing that message?

How do I disable the Firefox browser's addons?

I've been extensively relying on the `Ctrl+Alt+X` shortcut to spin up the selected chatbot in the sidebar, but ever since I reset my pc (complete reset, cloud download of windows, clear all apps and files) and re-installed firefox, the keyboard shortcut isn't working for me anymore.

I installed firefox with chocolatey, upon noticing that the shortcut had stopped working, I tried to downgrade to v145, which didn't help either. So an uninstall and re-install later (this time manually downloading the installer exe), `Ctrl+Alt+X` still doesn't work. Although hovering over the chatbot's icon in the sidebar shows the shortcut in the tooltip.

More info: `choco uninstall firefox` created a backup of "Old Firefox Data" or something similar, could that have somehow persisted the malfunction across installs?

Any help would be appreciated! System: Windows 10 Pro Firefox: 146

Mozilla has been blocking Chinese users to install AD Blockers for a couple of years because of a lawsuit against it's precious partner 北京谋智火狐信息技术有限公司 (English: Mozilla Online Ltd.). However, they stopped their cooperation on Sep. 29. So maybe Mozilla just no longer needs to ban AD blocker installations in China, right?
