Firefox Community Forum

Is anyone monitoring this community? Has it been abandoned?

I've been having an ongoing problem. I fixed it myself, because after posting here, I had zero responses and didn't know what to do, so I messed around and tried things on my own, which seemed to fix it. But apparently, it is not fixed, and I still don't know what to do. A Firefox expert I am not.

Very simply, I use two different computers, each 2000+ miles apart. Each time, and this has worked for well over 3 years now, the entire computer is copied to a backup. The backup data is restored, the current Firefox profile, as well as the Firefox program. To repeat, this has worked for well over 3 years now.

In order to get the extensions working, that requires disabling and then reenabling each one. (Otherwise, Firefox will not access the internet.)

This time, the extensions were disabled and enabled, and everything appeared to be working fine, but nope, not a single extension works. Even choosing a different extension that is normally disabled doesn't work.

I used to use Adaware, which is on the disabled list, so I disabled the non-working Ublock Origin and enabled Adaware, and it doesn't do anything. The ads roam freely all over the page. They pop up and dance around.

Not one extension will work. New, old, enabled, disabled, whatever. Nothing.

Does it bear repeating that I am not a Firefox expert? Without an answer from someone who knows what they're doing, I may as well switch to crap, inferior Edge with the zillions of dancing, pop-up ads. And I hate Edge.

I'm begging for an expert to help here.

FF updated to 150 and I tried to use the new VPN feature but couldn't find it. Looked up the directions and couldn't find where it was supposed to be. After trying the hamburger, more tools and customize toolbar I made the mistake to 'reset toolbar'. I lost my extension shortcuts and when I tried hamburger-more tools-customize toolbar they weren't there. I tried doing it from the extension page, no luck, then I tried to disable the extensions and reenable in hopes their icons would repopulate the toolbar, no luck. Is there a way to do this? It's like FF is blocking me from adding them from the customize toolbar page and the extensions page. Also, I never did find the FF VPN either after it updated to FF 150.

Thanks in advance!!

The above topic doesn't really apply to this. There was no option for this problem.

Now, I use Firefox Relay to mask my email address. It has always been an icon on the toolbar. It has now disappeared. I would like to use it but can't without that icon.

Please help. Thanks.

The new version of Download helper is uncommissioned for YouTube. I have tried everything including reinstalling, clearing cookies and catch etc. How can I just revert back to prior version as this seems to be a degraded version?

The extensions I use are: Adblock Plus Ghostery Privacy Badger Privacy Possum uBlock Origin

Which one of these add ons offered encryption? Is this something I can uninstall? Not all attachments are encrypted, but some are. Thanks JM

On my Firefox I have click something and choose Copilot. What I did have remove Chatgpt and enable Copilot. I want to have Chatgpt back but I cannot enabled. Please help?
