Hi,

I'm using firefox 158.0.1 (64 bit) on a windows 11 pro on an HP workstation with an 8 core intel xeon processor and 64gb of memory.

The hard drive that my firefox profile is on is seemingly being slowly filled by an add-on. However, since firefox now is using a symbolic names instead of easily identifiable/meaningful names, I don't know which add-on is causing the issue. My understanding is that Firefox developers did this to help obfuscate web sites from determining what add-ons might processing their site's pages when a user accesses their website..

What I have found is that the following directory in my firefox profile storage directory {FirefoxProfile\storage\default} has a sub-directory named {moz-extension+++764e262a-b66e-46e4-8ecf-f668f3a08bfe} that has grown to over 13GB! Further, I've noticed that that logical drive is getting accessed a lot, and this likely explains it My question is how to determine which add-on is writing to the sub-directory {moz-extension+++764e262a-b66e-46e4-8ecf-f668f3a08bfe}.

I really don't want to do a full reset of firefox as I have lots of tabs open for various reasons, and don't want to lose site cookies (not trackers) that keep me logged into various websites.

So if someone can help me find a cross-reference of "764e262a-b66e-46e4-8ecf-f668f3a08bfe" to it's actual extension name, I can clobber that particular extension without having to do the full reset. I assume somewhere in Firefox's data files there has to be a cross-reference from this mapped name to the actual add-on.

Thanks for the help, Philip

I'd like to find addons for Dropbox. To work as much as possible with moving files to other cloud storeges, and also to save files on Dropbox. I'd really appreciate if anyone can recommend something that works... :-) I'm living in Stockholm-Sweden and it starts gettin to cold to be outdoors. Hope someone comes back to me with something good.

Best Regards to all of you. ✌

Hi, I have Windows 10 Pro OS.

I am an eHarmony subscriber, and the program Grammarly does not work, but it works when I use Google Chrome. Can you please help me?

Hi

We are managing Firefox settings using Intune and successfully imported the Mozilla/Firefox ADMX files. A few settings are working as expected on a test device, though we're encountering issues with the Extension Management policy.

We followed this documentation to set up the extension management json: https://firefox-admin-docs.mozilla.org/reference/policies/extensionsettings/. I can see the policy is loaded into Firefox, though I am unable to add uBlock Origin, which should be allowed. All extensions are blocked, and the custom error message does not appear either, but instead "Download failed. Please check your connection."

I've tried a few variations with mixed success, but I haven't been able to get "allowed" extensions to work. Force installed extensions seem to work just fine.

Here's a minimal policies.json that demonstrates the issue:

{

   "*": {
       "blocked_install_message": "Custom error message.",
       "installation_mode": "blocked"
   },
   "uBlock0@raymondhill.net": {
       "installation_mode": "allowed"
   }

}

Is there something I'm missing? The test device is running Firefox 156.0.1 64-bit, firefox.admx 8.3, mozilla.admx 4.8. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Hello: w11p laptop. FF dev 153.0b.11 (12july). The overflow option for the menu bar containing the address field does not let me move extensions icons from the "always view" choice to the overflow. I have already looked at "extensions & themes dropdown. I have already viewed possible answers here & the worst one says: "NO." That is, this used to be a useable item, but w/changes, no go. I have a 18 in /45cm (only) monitor & don't use FF full screen hardly ever, just 1/2 is enuf. Any solutions/add-ons for a workaround so I can see more than 1/2 in of address field (when the whole browser window is 6 in total)? Tx.

which addons use the FF built in automatic tab unload ? I do not want extensions with own method because once an addon crashed and i LOST ALL TABS ! :( So searching or sorting for native tab sleep would be more comforting. thx

A few days ago my browser lost all of my Extensions and I can't find where they went or why they are gone, my you tube ext., my Last Pass pass word keeper, my ad blocker and some others are all missing and I need help putting them back .

I've been asked to disable an ad blocker by the New York Times to access it's web page for advertising. I thought I had an ad blocker app associated with my Firefox browser account.

I am trying to access AdBlock which I know I activated on my Mozilla, but can't find any reference to it whatsoever. I would like to disable it for one or two sites.
