All of my addons are disabled and won't re-enable!

They all say "addon name" could not be verified for use in Nightly and has been disabled. See attachment clipboard00.jpg

If I try to install an addon from the recommended extensions settings (for example "return youtube dislike ") I get a message bubble stating "The Addon downloaded from this site could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt. {OK!}" See attachment clipboard01.jpg

The message above about addons appearing to be corrupt happens if I go to any of my current addon pages and try to redownload them.

It looks like some sites are not working properly, two examples I can give are google sheets&docs, in the attached image you can see my sheets are not being shown, note that if I directly access a sheet's link it does open.

The second example is some websites with media players just load infinitely (YouTube works).

Also added network tab non 200 status code requests images.

Things I've tried:

  • Disabled "network.dns.disablePrefetch".
  • Tried troubleshoot mode(meaning those requests that were blocked by ublock are not the problem).
  • Deleted history including cookies.
  • Private Browsing.
  • User Agent masking
  • Reinstalling

https://www.pge.com/ https://my.dmv.ca.gov/

Websites such as the Sites above are not working in Firefox or other Open Source Browsers. I am being forced to use Chromium in this case to complete payments and add items to the DMV Cart and complete a payment for example. I do not want to have to do this. I do not want to be forced to use a Closed Source Browser such as Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome or Apple Safari. Or, Even the Open Source version of Google Chrome Chromium. Companies like PGE are deciding to drop support for Firefox as the State not enough users use Firefox. They are forcing the market to use a Non Open Source Browser. This is a Problem. This is not good for Competition and the Internet as a whole. Not good for me as I am a Linux User. The PG&E website does not even load when using Firefox. The DMV site loads but does not allow one to complete any Payments for Example. At this time one can only view Information on the DMV website.

Nothing seems to work. But i had to reinstall Firefox again because all my tabs would crash after the last reinstall.

Hi.

Can't access router gateway since last week

Gives error: Error code: SEC_ERROR_REUSED_ISSUER_AND_SERIAL

Gateway is http only, I can access it fine via Edge and Safari iOS

I tried disabling https-only though it used to work fine before with a saved exception.

Made sure Win10 firewall allows Firefox for private/public

Followed the help link and deleted the previous certificate from the certificate manager, but I can't find anything relevant under the servers tab

I'm at a loss. Many thanks in advance.

I reinstalled windows yesterday. When I installed firefox and signed it, everything was fine. However, this morning, it seems to have removed 80% of my bookmarks. When I try to restore from the bookmarks yesterday, it just gives me the ones that I have this morning. I had tons and tons of resource bookmarks for my work that would be almost impossible to re-find in some cases due to the current state of search engines. Is there any way to salvage them? It seems like sync believes they never existed, but it DID sync them yesterday??? Please help.

Hello!

For a while now I've had an issue browsing with Google using Firefox. As stated in the subject line, Google would cut off parts of my search if certain symbols are used within it.

For example: "1+1" becomes "1 1" "R&B" becomes "R" "#100" sends me back to google main page "number #100" becomes "number"

There might be other symbols that cause issues, but these are the three I keep running into. I tested another browser and this issue doesn't happen in it, meaning it must be an issue with Firefox.

I have already tried clearing cookies and cache, and it did not resolve the problem.

I would appreciate help with this!

https://read.amazon.com/kindle-library is now not allowing me to go onto the website. I've tried talking to Amazon customer support but they can't find a problem on their end. It says:

The connection has timed out

The server at read.amazon.com is taking too long to respond.

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

I haven't had a problem with the website before and every other website I have tried works fine. It's just that one. I have added it to my exceptions list for add ons but it didn't fix it.

I'm on Linux.

I've been using this method to setup a custom new tab page for Firefox for almost 4 years, and it has worked great: https://jamesnorth.net/knowledge-base/article/firefox-new-tab-page

---

Navigate to /usr/lib/firefox.

Create autoconfig.cfg:

// var {classes:Cc,interfaces:Ci,utils:Cu} = Components;

/* set new tab page */ try {

 Cu.import("resource:///modules/AboutNewTab.jsm");  
 var newTabURL = "file:///home/james/ff/index.html";  
 AboutNewTab.newTabURL = newTabURL;  

} catch(e){Cu.reportError(e);} // report errors in the Browser Console

Create defaults/pref/autoconfig.js:

// pref("general.config.filename", "autoconfig.cfg"); pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); pref("general.config.sandbox_enabled", false);

---

However, upon updating to Firefox 136, I only get a blank page. All of my autoconfig files still exist in /usr/lib/firefox.

When I create a new tab with Ctrl+T, it's a blank page. When I create a new window, it loads the local page I want it to load with the file path in the URL (which it never had before; the URL bar was blank in Firefox 135). So it seems to be partially working.

Any tips?
