My Adguard add on was disabled by Firefox about midnight May 3, 2019. Now when I try to install Adguard or any other add on I get the message, "Download failed. Please check your connection." The message occurs whether or not I am signed in to my Firefox account. My security package is Norton Online provided and updated through my ISP Earthlink. Thanks, in advance, for your attention to my problem.

Ever since updating to Firefox v 66, the browser won't load webpages until I disable ublock origin in the add-ins page. It's very repeatable, I disable ublock and the page loads. Enable it again, and new pages won't load. I've also disabled all my other add-ins when doing this, so it's not some weird interaction between add-ins.
Normally I would consider this a ublock problem, but it didn't change. This started happening with the Firefox v 66 update. I've searched, but nobody else seems to have the same problem. What can I try (besides getting rid of ublock)?

After updating to Firefox 66.0 on MacOS 10.13.6 today, websockets on my localhost stopped working.
When using Create React App (version of "react-scripts": "2.1.8" => "webpack-dev-server": "3.1.14" => "sockjs": "0.3.19"), hot reload is broken and I get following error in the console:
`The connection to ws://localhost:3000/sockjs-node/743/khw0phgj/websocket was interrupted while the page was loading.`
When I tried https://www.websocket.org/echo.html, it works fine and no problems with hot reload in Chrome 72.0.
How can I debug and fix this problem please? (when I googled the error message, I got a lot of outdated advice from previous versions of Firefox)

I got home, turned on the PC, loaded up Firefox, and ALL my addons are disabled and tossed into their 'legacy' pool of crap. No happy colorful theme, NO adblocker, no Ghostery... it even disabled my Bitdefender add-ons. Something is NOT right here. Anyone know what's going on? Firefox has NOT updated in at least a week or two, so I doubt it was an update breaking anything.

For years I've used a userchrome script to show multiple rows of bookmarks, but it no longer works in Firefox 66!
Does anyone know what's gone wrong, or a way this can be fixed?
I cannot function without multi-row bookmarks! I have over 25,000 bookmarks, all neatly organized into folders across five rows of bookmarks. there's no way I could cram all those categories into one single, solitary row.
It's a shame that Firefox has never seriously supported the bookmark bar. It's always been buggy, ugly, cumbersome to use, and never felt very "solid". The menu also has a tendency to disappear, making it hard to organize and drag bookmarks and folders around.

On 5/3/19 Firefox suddenly alerted me that it disabled all of my Add-ons stating that "These extensions do not meet current Firefox standards so they have been deactivated."
Immediately below this message, Firefox gives me the option to "Find a Replacement" Add-on.
After going through this process and locating the replacement Add-on, all attempts to download this (or any other Add-on) produce an error message stating "Download failed. Please check your connection."
However, my internet connection is working just fine.
I am running the latest version of Firefox (66.0.3 (64-bit)). And I have tried downloading the Add-on with my anti-virus temporarily disabled (with no success).
Screen captures are attached.
Does anyone know what is causing this issue and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

This morning Adblock Plus was disabled in my browser.
the message n the EXTENSIONS PAGE reads: "Adblock Plus - free ad blocker could not be verified for use in Firefox and has been disabled".
I've been Adblock PLus using for years, on both my computers. And it still functions on my Windows 10 desktop. Is this because it is Windows XP? Can I do anything to reacivate it?
I tried to add Adblock Plus again on the computer - but that did not work either. I get a message that says: "Download failed. Please check your connection' - but I am using the connection without problems everywhere else!

Hello. I've been struggling to figure out how to get the address bar and tabs to hide when in fullscreen mode on my Mac. At first, I thought this was just the default setting, but after browsing other Community posts and discussions on Reddit and such, I began to suspect those are supposed to hide by default, but are not in my case.
Please see the photo attached for what I mean—the tabs and address bar never go away, if they are supposed to, regardless of whether I have a new tab or a webpage open.
I tried Firefox with all my add-ons turned off, because some posts suggested they can prevent auto-hiding. I have looked for CSS solutions and extensions which could help, but I am utterly frustrated. Please help!
Thanks in advance.

No problems before I signed up for an account to use Firefox Send. Immediately after that I started to get an annoying pop-up window asking for my master password immediately on browser start.
I want to be able to browse sites without entering a password, and I also want to continue using a master password but only for sites which require a log-in.
I deleted my Firefox account in the hopes that would fix the problem, but the pop-ups keep coming.
I tried unchecking "ask to save logins and passwords for websites" in preferences but that didn't work.
I have not deleted my saved log-ins and tried a new/clean browser because I spent a long time getting all my add-ons and log-ins set up and I don't want to have to reinstall everything, and I am concerned that if I save my profile that it will just re-install the problem.

When trying to play videos using Firefox, I get an error on YouTube saying "Your browser does not recognize any of the video formats available". I get this for about 50% of videos I try to play. This also happens to be after a clean installation of windows onto an SSD, where it was working prior to the new SSD. Things I've tried: -Restarting Firefox in safe mode without add-ons (Failed) -Turning off Hardware Acceleration (Failed) -Reinstalling Firefox completely (Failed) -Getting Adobe Flash player (Failed) -Using Google Chrome to play the same video (Passed, Chrome will play anything, Firefox will not) I'm running out of ideas to try and seriously need help, as it's bothering me that nothing's working!

I use Firefox Developer Edition as my main browser on a 64bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium. I recently updated the browser to version 66.0b6, and it appears to have completely killed support for Adobe Flash on the browser. I have checked the about:plugins page, and it shows no flash plugin installed. I have also attempted to install Flash multiple times by downloading it from Adobe's website. The installation claims to be completed without issue, but results in no changes in the plugins page, and no working version of Flash. Flash works fine on the other browsers on my system, and worked without issue in previous versions of Firefox. I am aware of security concerns with the Flash plugin, however considering there is a lot of older content on the internet that relies on the technology, completely disabling it with no way for users to manually enable it seems a bit excessive. Is this indeed what Firefox has done, or is there something wrong with my browser?
Thanks for the help.

Suddenly while browsing, I got a bar notification saying that some of my addons had been disabled because they were unsupported. Clicking the button took me to a page that showed no addons, but linked to a page for Legacy Addons in which I found 25 of my addons (That's literally all but 2) have been marked as "not verified for use in Firefox" and disabled, despite literally all of them working mere seconds again and a large majority of them being obtained directly from Mozilla's official addon website! Firefox didn't even receive an update or anything, they just all randomly got flagged out of nowhere for no reason. Why are all of my addons suddenly marked as unverified and disabled, and how can I enable them all again?
