Hi,
Thanks to Mozilla for continuing to develop such a clean browser, with movies made of GIF instead of much larger files.
So we have developed an extension or add-on for many years using the same method. But recently ( maybe I forgot ), with a new developer profile, I am unable to edit any files because the .xpi extension in the extensions folder, is compressed and cannot be navigated in a file Explorer.
In the past, I just install the extension and change the file extension from .xpi to .zip, and then extract into a folder with the same name. Then delete the .xpi/.zip folder, and the new folder acts as a pointer for the same instance of installation. And I can just modify the files in that folder usually and I don't need to restart the browser to see the changes. But lately I cannot do this.
What is the best way to debug the add-on with the least number of steps?
Thanks,
Josh

I'm trying to block several troublesome websites that repeatedly install themselves in my browser. The Block Site extension is installed in Firefox v.71.0 on a 2019 iMac running Mac OS 10.14.6 (Mojave). I've looked on the internet and found that there"s supposed to be an "Options" button "next to" the Block Site extension. However, I'm unable to find this button and so cannot get to the next window in which to list the .urls that I want to block. Can anyone help me with this?

LastPass was installed and running until Firefox automatically upgraded to ver. 71 and now it's been disabled. Even though LastPass is a "recommended" extension, when I try to re-install from Mozilla I get the message "an unexpected error occurred during installation" (see attached file). LP users report the same problem on their site but it's clearly a Firefox 71 problem (LP works fine will all my other browsers).

When I open a NEW WINDOW, how can I have the cursor default to the URL/ADDRESS bar, thereby allowing me to type immediately without having to click the bar? I ONLY use blank home page and blank tabs. By the way, when I open a new tab the cursor is already in the URL/ADDRESS bar. I simply want the same thing for opening new windows.
Thank you for you time.

Every time I try to make or receive a call it asks for permission to use microphone in Gmail Hangouts https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox . I have it set to "Allow". https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox When a call comes in or I try to make one it does not have the check mark box "Always Allow" on the little pop up window as I have seen before. I can set it to always allow by right clicking the chat window and page info, yet it keeps on asking for permission to use. -- It DOES show as being allowed both in the list in Options and when you check the page Info.
I thought maybe it has something to do with Flash ending, but when I use Hangouts on the Hangouts page: https://hangouts.google.com/ it works fine. And yes, I have removed all cookies and cache several times. Another thing I noticed is that you can't add any pages manually in the options. Not sure if that is related. Note that I use Firefox and Windows 7 .
Been searching for an answer since this started over a month ago. Thank you in advance for your help.

I recently just learned about Firefox Picture-In-Picture just a few days ago after trying several add-ons that only opened video in a New Window. Which does no go because if you are working on a page or reading News on window the Newly openly Video Window would go to the background. So I ignorantly clicked Firefox Feed Back and sent them a message about not having a Video Overlay Option.
But now, I am wonder if there is option to select or in (about:config) to change location position the PIP opens and if there is size controls that one can select size of the PIP screen to open to regularly?
