Firefox Community Forum

My problem started approximately (2) updates prior to my current Firefox update after 7-13-26... abouit a month of it now. I have great Malware and Security programs and never have been hacked. However now I have popups, redirects to new tabs advertising something, and Bing search engine came up replacing my StartPage search preference. I have since fixed my default search engine, but as noted below I am having no luck with ad popups and search redirects.

I have gone through Mozilla troubleshooting in Settings>Peremissions and Date>Notifications... and checked off all ad and popup blocking. I have checked entire PC with (2) separate Malware programs and found nothing. I use iObit Advanced System Care and it has caught many things, but it hasn't helped me here either.

I am still on Windows 10 operating system and have never had any problems at all Is there someting in a line item entry stored on my PC that I can look for that is taking over my browser settings? What else can be done to stop these insane ad and popup overlays?

Some websites' signin/signout pulldown now impossible to identify and access, because only bottom half of the Tabs field displays. Top half is always obscured by a white bar (see blue arrow in attached JPG screenshot).

i am running Firefox on a Windows 10 Dell G3 laptop. I wonder if this is a problem with settings or with Add-Ons?

I would like to see someone come up with a templated browser (or page) that's specific to Facebook which would include the now removed feature of the list of contacts they used to have on their feed page. At one time this list used to be included on the wall as well. I would use that list when viewing FB to show me not only who was currently online, but who was most likely viewing the content I posted. Sadly, to the frustration of many Facebook has changed this feature to a collapseable menu represented with an icon... and at the top of the list when brought up, is a link to the Meta AI (a feature I would also like to block) which I've found can and will chat with a user, although not in a manner I consider satisfactory.

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.

Turned on laptop this morning after arriving at work -- Addon icons gone and Addons not functioning. Why was this fault in 152.0.5 not disclosed before committing to upgrading the the browsers I support for distance consultants ? Click the Manage Extensions icon and there are no "gears" to click to "Pin to toolbar". This is terrible. I have a half hour until those folks arrive at work in Lost Angeles. Wow. I want to revert to a previous version. Where do I get them ? I am a DBA and NOT support for unstable browsers. FF consistently causing me time and money but "befehl ist befehl" and it is the browser we are ordered to use. I believe management has conflated Free and Functional/useful when selecting our S/W tools.

unable to get Download Helper to initialize in my Firefox browser. i have checked and rechecked so many things. how can i fix this so i can dl videos from the internet and watch them?

How do I get Firefox extensions on so that I can use Reveddit? What do I do? I’m trying to use the Reveddit, it says but every time I input the sub, it says that they can’t go through because I don’t have the extensions

Good day, folks!

I mistakenly posted this query to the Thunderbird forum. It is a Firefox extension issue. [Sigh]

For over a week, the WIKI2 extension has not been working in Firefox on Linux Mint 22.3. "Normal" operation (when it's working) is for a link clicked to a Wikipedia page to be automatically re-directed to the WIKI2 rendering of that page. This no longer happens.

Further, I receive this when trying to access their web site: Sorry, you have been blocked You are unable to access wiki2.org

Experience has taught me, when something that has been working flawlessly suddenly stops working, to ask, "Is it me, or is it you?" I'm not about to start twisting dials to fix a problem that is on their end.

Has anyone here experienced this same recent behavior with the WIKI2 extension?

If so, I'll leave it alone until the problem is fixed on their site.

Thanks in advance,

I would like to install the Pangram extension to Firefox. Can you check it to see if it is ok? It seem like a reliable company and I think it will help me sort out AI generated content from human.
