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.

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?
(The uploaded image doesn't seem to be showing in the support thread, so here's a direct link https://puu.sh/Dnxlm/b471b782d7.PNG )

Just today Mozilla suddenly reported that several of my extensions where outdated and had been disabled. When I checked the 'legacy extension list' is showed every single extension as being unsigned, the list includes:
Add Block Plus IDM Integration module Malwarebytes browser extension
I have gone to the add on page and tried to install (or re-install) the latest version of each of these and it fails with the error "Download failed. Please check your connection." As I know my network connection is good, this is clearly bogus. So far all I have done otherwise is run a full virus scan with malwarebytes (and got nothing) and reboot just in case. Some searches on the web have turned up installation failures like i am getting, but most of them where a year ago or more and specific to a given add on. I haven't found anything on mass disabling all extensions.
Currently running version 66.0.3 (64 bit) of mozilla.
Thanks for any help you can provide, Eric Hough

Now that I Ant video downloader is blocked by Firefox, I need help finding a replacement. I've tried to download Flash Video Downloader and Video Downloader Professional.

All of my add-ons were suddenly blocked and disabled while watching a video on Amazon's Prime Video service. When I go to the Add-Ons manager they are all listed under the Unsupported section. Clicking the More Information link for each takes me to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-on-signing-in-firefox
Now, I can't vouch for each of the Add-Ons I've listed below, but I know that the HTTPS Everywhere add-on (2019.5.2.1) has a valid signature and has been working for months for me on the up to date version. All of the add-ons I have are still up on addons.mozilla.org, I just can't use them. Any attempt to download them from addons.mozilla.org results in a "Download failed.

Why won't your so-called "awesome bar" work as a normal bar???

The address bar is a simple concept. You type an address in, you hit <Return>, and the browser takes you there.
Not in Firefox 66.0.3!
In 66.0.3 you type in an address (meanwhile the bar is giving you random crap to "help" you and there's no way to turn this off), you hit return, and....nothing!
The only way to actually go where you want to go is to type the address, *click or tab OUT of the bar*, and then *re-enter the bar*. Then and ONLY then will <Return> actually do something.
Based on other questions, this has happened before too.
Why can't you just have an address bar that works as an address bar?

Just minutes ago I got a message that One of more of my add-ins cannot be verified and have been disabled. That turned out to be all of them! On the add-in screen they also only show up under legacy add-ins, even though I've been using each of these WebExtensions for over a year now. Add=ins include PasswordMaker X, uBlock Origin, YouTube Video and Audio Downloader, Reddit Enhancement Suite, ViolentMonkey, all of my skins, and much more. Some of them I just got from the add-on store last week! What's the deal here?

1) Avast Online Security could not be verified for use in Firefox and has been disabled 2) Avast Safeprice could not be verified for use in Firefox and has been disabled 3) DuckduckGo Privacy Essentials could not be verified for use in Firefox and has been disabled
These three items are not working now, and they are important to me.
Kindly contact Avast and DuckduckGo, and figure out a COMPROMISE to make these items still work on the latest Firefox version 66.0.3. If you can't do that, then I can no longer use Firefox.
My safety is more important than whatever weird idea your update guy had, and who apparently used the "ZERO nada zilch microsoft method of testing" before unleashing it on the unsuspecting user. When will you guys learn about TESTING!?

On the extensions page, all of the adblocker extensions show up after a search, however when I attempt to install any of them I get a message that says "Download failed. Check your connection". This occurs on all ad block extensions that I have tried. I tried AdBlock Plus, UBlock, and Privacy Badger.
I also tried some other extensions on the main extensions page. None of them work. Is your extensions server down for maintenance or something?
I am obviously connected. I have attached a screenshot of the issue.

So I have just reinstalled Windows 10 because I got a new SSD and Firefox is one of the first things I've installed. There is no antivirus or firewall software installed except for Defender that came with Windows 10.
Right after installing Firefox I login to my Firefox account and it should start downloading my addons, except it doesn't (except for just 1 strangely). I go to the official Firefox addon page and try to install something and it tells me "Download failed. Check your internet connection". My internet connection is fine as I am posting this and I was able to download Firefox.
I can't find a solution to this particular problem. Any help is appreciated.

I was using Firefox as usual when suddenly I get a notification saying that my add-ons were no longer compatible, and were all disabled. I removed them and tried to reinstall, but a "Download failed.

I tried restarting my PC and reinstalling Firefox, but to no avail.

Using Firefox 66.0.3 I want to disable the blocking of "redirects". I am sick of having to keep clicking the "Allow" button. I want to turn the redirecting off.
On the internet it tells me to check Tools-->Options-->Advanced In Firefox 66.0.3 there is not an "Advanced". The solutions on the internet are old.
How do I turn this off? I guess I want to turn "Warn Me When Websites Try to Redirect or Reload the Page" OFF.
Please tell me (and everyone else) how to do this.

I seem to be having issues playing videos on FB, and Hulu and a few other sites. Netflix and youtube seem to be working fine. The video loads with the green screen showed below with the sound playing but no images shown. These other sites work on Safari. I have tried removing the hardware acceleration and it has not solved the issue. I have tried using Firefox in safe mode and with the plugins disabled. None of these solutions have worked. I even refreshed Firefox to its default settings, to no avail. Has anyone else tried or found something that does work?
