I may have asked this before, When I launch Firefox, it opens the tab to the right of the active tab in the previous session. When I close a tab, it opens the tab to the right.

Am I wrong, or is that precisely the opposite of what you would expect or want?

Can someone please explain the logic of this? Is there anything that can be done about it?

I have this addon Select After Closing Current. Can I get some advice to set it up to work?

Also, why are there two product pages for it? link text

Whenever I try to log into my Eset Password Manager it says unable to log in offline. Yet Eset password manager works on other browsers. I have refresh the browser and removed and re add the Eset extension.

Hey!

Anyone has any ideas why the extensions does not work properly anymore? Or is in similar situation?

My browser has been updated, as well mentioned extensions (its only 4 of them really). They worked fine for years and now suddenly - when I click on them - there is no response! I refreshed and re-installed the browser as well. Restarting does not help either.

I cannot get access to the Toolbar to make the Evernote Web Clipper appear even though it is listed in to Add ons Manager I don't have this problem on my other, WIndows 10, computer. Is this a known problem with WIndows 11?

One of if not my most favorite addon "context search" has recently been flagged as violating mozillas tos. I'm talking about this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/contextsearch

I am unable to find further explanation or the exact reason for this decision, but I am able to activate it again at my own risk. Seeing as I don't know what the problem is, I am hesitant to do so. Could someone explain what the issue is and if it's safe to continue using that addon? Am I or is my personal information at risk, since I have been using the addon regularly?

I have recently installed the containers extension and have been having a bit of trouble with one site (the others are fine), which seems to originate from the manner in which the site is structured. As it references new pages, they are often in a different URL. For example, you start in login.site.com, which then tries to load dashboard.site.com, but it fails authentication on dashboard.site.com because it opens in a different container. Which then tries to open the login.site.com page again, which displays the login page, but showing it tying to complete the original authentication. I have tried to add each step along the way, but without success. Is there a way to overcome this?

I found a problem with McAfee Webadvisor 13 Aug 2025 release. It causes flickering in the upper right part of the screen. Disabling it in Extensions fixes the problem. Removing it and reinstalling causes the problem to reoccur. This is new, had no problems yesterday but today all four of my family's computers have this problem. I will report the problem to McAfee and give an update if I get a response.

After many attempt, I cannot complete to add-on of the IBM Security Rapport , this is important and need assistance. I cannot locate in the add-ons or extensions using Firefox. Thank You

Hi, an addon I was using was automatically disabled, with a banner containing the following text and a link to "see details": "This extension is restricted for violating Mozilla’s policies and has been disabled. You can enable it, but this may be risky."

This is vague and unhelpful, but maybe the "see details" link will provide more context.

If I click this link, I go to a new page which has the following: "This extension, theme, or plugin violates Mozilla's add-on policies. Version deleted"

This is even worse, as it's not clear what has happened, what I should do (if anything) and gives me no confidence in the process. Does "Version deleted" mean the developer deleted this, Mozilla deleted this, is it just this version or is it all versions? Why what it deleted, was there a security problem I should be concerned about, or does it no longer run on supported Firefox releases?

While I would be interested the reason for the specific addon, it seems to me there's a more important process and UX issue here.

Side note, there seems to be no topic for addons, which seems like an oversight.

I'm using add-on (MarkA link) to annotate links. It works pretty fine, except that "from time to time" all marks dissappeares (without any clear message or anything). The data is kept in `storage-sync-v2.sqlite` database in a form of chunks (each chunk has length of 1084 bytes) as single "big" JSON. Application data is a JSON as well (here an object where link is a key with additional data for the link). All characters in "internal" JSON, which are not allowed as "external" (the one with "na" objects) are escaped with '\'. I observed, that storage_sync_data::data might be incorrectly split, what causes the escape character escapes "external" JSON (I mean it joins two `na` chunks , which after that cannot be parsed (and whole data is removed), e.g.: ``` {\"grp\":\"bibl\",\"type\":\"Mark\","na_9":"",\"mark\":\"\"}, ``` where "external" JSON is broken on `Mark` (as " from "internal" document is split into two entries, and closing " is escaped with a '\' from a `Mark` tag.

Things goes even worse, if the properties allow to contain some "special" characters escaped with '\' (e.g. new line, quotation mark, backslash, etc).

every website i go to says I have AdBlock Plus enabled as an extension, ad-on or whatever. I can not find it anywhere in the extensions menu, add-ons manager, etc. to turn it off... I have looked in every folder and area that I can, looked through my entire account info, profile, security, extensions, plug-ins, etc. Can you please help me find it so I can turn it off, uninstall etc.

Thank you for your help!
