I'm using Firefox v126. I'm searching through the add-ons trying to find a few that I like and most don't work with my older version of Firefox. So I click into the version history of the add-on and find an older version of the add-on that will work with the version of Firefox I am running. Except... I click it and I get:

"The add-on downloaded from this site could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt."

say what? ok maybe a fluke, so I click on through, older version, older version, still old version. All give me the same error. Okay, maybe its just the add-on, no, its literally any older version of any add-on.

No way all those versions of add-ons are "corrupt." I can download the .xpi, rename to .zip and view the contents. Anyone run into this particular problem before and if so, how did you fix it? I'm keen to keep v126 of Firefox and would like to use the add-ons that I like to work with it.

Hello, I just would like to ask you few things. It is 2 years ago and I was told Mozilla had issues with new updates for different deviece, as Mozilla supposed to disappear totally from everywhere...

I know Mozilla is a Linux browser, where I can also use DuckDuckGo for my safety. Can you give me a good quide haow to use Mozilla as best I can a at the same time to feel absolutely safe and being worried of hackers (happend to me unfortunately)...

Can you give me some good advice what add-ons are good to use but also to tell me what add-ons or "Mozilla Tunning"I should avoid?

Thank you Kind regards

Hello everyone,

Listen, I don't understand. I just asked the question, it was published, but once I closed my account, it disappeared.


1 - I would like to disable updates for a specific add-on. Do you know how to do this ? I couldn't find anything in the GitHub help files for commands in Policies.json.


2 - I have another question, in case any of you happen to know the answer. I want to put “my lists” in two columns in µBlock Origin. CSS isn't working for me anymore.

Thank you.

I'm using Firefox on my Android phone. I am looking for an extension that will suppress the little video in the screenshot that I will append to this question. I already have adguard and ublock but they don't seem to catch this. I wouldn't be as intent on suppressing it if the close box actually worked. Can somebody recommend an extension that can suppress something like this?

Firefox Support.

I receive email messages from members in this forum in Chrome. It is very difficult to find the messages here when I logged in. If possible, can a reference number be provided with the message.

I never log out and if possible I prefer to stay logged in. The main topic seems to be about "Inbuilt adblockers" Some of the messages are a bit rude about the above. I don't appreciate those type of messages.

But I do agree if there could be an adblocker in Firefox in my Android phone, Browser extensions are uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger and CanvasBlocker. They don't block ads. uBlock Origin "Element Picker Mode" works perfectly on my PC but not all on my Android Phone. I appreciate very much how Firefox can be configured more than all the browsers combined, to provide extreme protection and privacy. In addition with MullvadVPN.

I received a message from Microsoft a few days ago and they have extended Windows 10 Security updates to 12 October 2027.

I have a huge amount of respect and appreciation for the Firefox Developers and Volunteers. Thanks Shaun

Can I change the directory where Firefox stores the add-on xpi files? Our company's IT dept is constantly deleting or corrupting them. Right now it's: C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\riqfpq8g.default-release\extensions If I could just add a folder and tell firefox where the files are, this might solve that problem. Any ideas?
