Hello,

I had a fresh windows installation and so I had to install firefox again.For addictive reasons I use a site blocker to block certain sites: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/block-website/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search

But it didn't work anymore. So I thought maybe it is something in the add-on, but I thought I will try another one:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/leechblock-ng/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search

But this is also not working, so maybe there is something changed within firefox or something ? Or does anybody know how to get it working ? Using the latest version 150.0.1

Thanks in advance

I downloaded an extension and can't do anything with it. There is no way for me to open it, all I can do is open up my extensions to see it then change permissions or delete it. It won't appear on my toolbar with other extensions. I've seen others ask this question and the solutions dont apply to me. People are being told to either right click and click pin to toolbar or to click the gear icon next to the extension and then pin to toolbar as well. I have no gear icon next to extensions and right clicking an extension treats it like a link. There is a gear at the top that when I click it I can click "manage extension shortcuts" only for it to then pretend none of my extensions have shortcuts even though 2 of them are right there in my toolbar. The 3rd 1 mozilla seem to not want me to have on my toolbar.

Renaming an extension

I want to change the name of my Firefox extension from "eBird reviewer utilities" to "eBird reviewer assistant". I thought that it would be sufficient simply to change the name in the manifest:

 "name": "eBird reviewer utilities",
 "version": "1.3.46",

to

 "name": "eBird reviewer assistant",
 "version": "1.3.47",

(This was sufficient for Chrome.)

Firefox on my Windows 11 laptop processed this exactly as I expected, picking up the new version and new name. However, Firefox on my Windows 11 desktop does not recognize that there is an update, it only says no updates available. Likewise, Firefox on my Android phone has not picked up the update.

I noticed that the name on the product page was still the old one, so I tried renaming it there, and bumping to version to 1.3.47.1. On the Developer Hub, the extension is correctly listed with the new name and version (see attached screenshot)

However, my desktop running at 1.3.46 still says "No updates found". (See second attached screenshot)

So my first question is, is the confusion related to the attempted name change? And secondly, regardless of the reason, how do get the update recognized?

Every time I see a box to enter a username or on some websites, any box that needs information filled in, a pop-up box appears that says "unlock your password manager." I was finally able to get to a website at moz-extension://b5ea3638-1832-4174-a490-4c5e77c0dbc6/html/index.html. The page says "Welcome My Financial Expert Password Manager securely stores, organizes, and autofills your logins, passwords, and more. Sign in to get started." Is this a legitimate mozilla extension? Is this a scam? How do I get rid of it (it's REALLY annoying!)? Thank you for your help and any insight.

I am attempting to locate the "manage containers" option on the container drop down menu but it is not there. I have read several other threads and have tried cntrl+ about:config "which did not have a false option" clicking right, and then maybe left and every which way I could click, but nothing. The drop down menu does not move so as to reposition and possibly find what I can't find. I do have my scaling pretty high, I wonder if that could be the problem. Any help would be appreciated, you know how we like to change these kinds of options.
