I have been trying to set group policy for ublock-origin extension in firefox linux.

per the docs, https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Deploying-uBlock-Origin:-configuration#toadd

I created a file "~/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/uBlock0@raymondhill.net.json"

with content

{

   "name": "uBlock0@raymondhill.net",
   "description": "ignored",
   "type": "storage",
   "data": {
       "advancedSettings": [
           [ "disableWebAssembly", "true" ]
       ]
   }

}

but no matter what i add here, nothing is getting reflected back to extension settings. can you guys please advise on what to fix here

This question is about a specific Firefox add on. I have not used extensions or add ons previously and am concerned about the safety of the one I want to upload: Claude Conversation Capture.

The page says it will require permission to Download files and read and modify the browser’s download history (which is fine) and Access your data for all websites (which scares the heck out of me.)

How can I safeguard my privacy and data to prevent a breach and maintain proper security if I download this add on?

Can anyone help with this please? The add on would be extremely useful but not at the expense of my security and privacy.

FWIW I am #notageek and very tech challenged, so please explain anything I need to know in ordinary language I can understand (will be greatly appreciated.)

Thank you!

I’m using Firefox version 134.0.2 in MacOS 15.2 with 1Password version 8.10.56 for Mac. The 1Password extension is enabled and the app is open and unlocked but each time I open a site requiring login and password I get a pop-up telling me to, “Press the 1Password icon in your browser’s toolbar to unlock.” This requires me to unlock 1Password again to enter the site’s login/password combination. Not sure if this is a Firefox or 1Password issue but it’s annoying. Any thoughts on a resolution? Thanks

Hi all,

I'm an English speaker in Germany, and I'm trying to add amazon.de as a search shortcut, using the official steps (right click on address bar, choose 'add Amazon').

However, I'm getting the following error: Firefox could not download the search plugin from: https://d2lo25i6d3q8zm.cloudfront.net/browser-plugins/AmazonSearchSuggestionsOSD.Firefox.xml

I've seen similar calls for help that seem to stretch back years, but alas they appear to have had slightly different symptoms/solutions that don't seem to apply to my situation.

Cheers.

Why there is no way for me to review or rate add-ons for the Firefox? Many years I am using Firefox and sometimes I just cant understand what a strange bugs I am facing.

Hi All,

I have a number of computers that I would like to have configured identically, including Firefox's extensions. Is there a mechanism that I could use to automatically install a list of extensions on my (linux, windows) computers?

TIA, Mike.

I use Firefox as my go-to browser on my Windows 11 PC with the google search engine as my homepage. However, every time I open Firefox, a google sign in window pops up. How do I disable this? I only find instructions on how to do it with Chrome or other browsers, or where step-by-step instructions skip steps.

Please help!

I'm using Firefox 137.0.2 on a MacBook Pro (M4) macOS Sequoia 15.4.1 . I just installed Multi-Account Containers, and have a question that's not answered in any support material I can find.

Before I installed Multi-Account Containers, I had several Firefox windows open, each with many tabs. For each window, I used "Bookmark All Tabs" to save that windows set of bookmarks in a separate Bookmark folder, e.g. "Weather Obs&Forecasts", "Reading_news", "Music & Language", "Reading_miscellany".

Is there a way that I can open a new window and open all the websites in a bookmark folder at once in a single container? (I have in mind making use of Bookmarks > Reading_news > Open All in Tabs .) Because opening a new window, opening a new tab in a container, duplicating that tab 10 times, and then using Bookmarks > Reading_news to open each of the bookmarks in one of those new containerized tabs was a real drag.

Hi,

For the last 2 weeks or so Roboform task bar has not displayed on firefox. It works perfectly OK with Edge. I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling roboform without closing roboform and miraculously the task bar appeared attached to the bottom of the screen for the duration of the session. I thought the problem was fixed however, when I next restarted the PC it was again not present. Any ideas how to fix this as I do not wish to use edge.

I was in the middle of a bunch of work and this Avira pop up showed up blocking 1/3 of the screen. Probably a scam, but no way to get rid of it. Finally I had to reboot. I googled options and none of them worked. I have been getting Avira "scare tactics" but they were easy to close. But this was extremely annoying. If this continues, how to I get rid of it??
