The Firefox Translations add-on has been discontinued and no longer works. As a foreign language learner, I found it very useful to open the Firefox Translations popup, enter some text, and have that text translated locally. Is there an alternative that has the same functionality?

Anyone use LastPass? Do YOU have any hair left? How do I put that extension up at the top. Where my red arrow points? ALSO......

Im entering the email and password i swear dozens of times every day...it never works right, ALWAYS need one or both lines filled in.  I DONT CARE IF IT DOESNT WANT ME TO SAVE THE PASSWORD. GOD KNOWS its NOT retaining it!  OK, im 75 years old. HAVE I LOST MY MARBLES?

When i go to "about:memory" and do a measurement to see whats eating memory i find extensions that are nowhere to be found in the extension manager nor in the folders where the extension files are. they are: - Extension(id=wikipedia@search.mozilla.org, name="Wikipedia (en)", baseURL=moz-extension://8551 - Extension(id=webcompat@mozilla.org, name="Web Compatibility Interventions", baseURL=moz-extensi - Extension(id=screenshots@mozilla.org, name="Firefox Screenshots", baseURL=moz-extension://486 - Extension(id=pictureinpicture@mozilla.org, name="Picture-In-Picture", baseURL=moz-extension:// - Extension(id=google@search.mozilla.org, name="Google", baseURL=moz-extension://13f3307a-648b- - Extension(id=formautofill@mozilla.org, name="Form Autofill", baseURL=moz-extension://dfdf20df- - Extension(id=ddg@search.mozilla.org, name="DuckDuckGo", baseURL=moz-extension://c8eb7a13-e1ab - Extension(id=bing@search.mozilla.org, name="Bing", baseURL=moz-extension://424719d2-8ccf-4c8e- - Extension(id=addons-search-detection@mozilla.com, name="Add-ons Search Detection", baseURL=moz- (the names are cut thats how it shows and at the end there is a "..." i cant select) I tried looking everywhere and i cant find where are this extensions to delete them. i use the google website to do searches so dont need an extension, i dont use duckduckgo at all, i dont use bing at all, i dont use the screenshot feature, i dont use the picture in picture thing and also i use the wbesite if i want to go to wikipedia. I would like to know how to erase them entirely since i dont use them and they are eating memory.

Recently I've had the Un-welcome experience of Scripts triggered on YouTube, which Over-ride my Installed extensions to Firefox.

I've had YouTube, somehow Disable extensions and refresh the webpage... Without my concent or even an option for concent!

I've even blocked the popup window, which triggers the script which performs this action within another extension... and within 7-10 days Youtube has by passed the bypass that i've employed...

In my opinion a web-browser which allowes for extensions to be installed and run... should Block any and All scripts which try to disable extensions!

I seriously hope this can be looked into asap... or someone in the community has a work around, as my work around (blocking hte window which triggres the script, which disables the extension....) was by-passed within 7-10 days...

I used to think myself a compettent net user, but i'm aged out atm... still if i'm unable to prevent this sh*t and manipulation within FireFox, I doubt the average user or the layman will have a chance in hell of being secure and keeping their chosen extensions running...

This needs looking into ASAP!

I recently discovered a problem with an addon I wanted to report. The product page only has an email support link, which opens up MIcrosoft Mail. I prefer not to use it.

Is there any other way to get the developers email address?

Also, this link does not work

When I went to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/products/vpn/ and decided to purchase a Mozilla VPN prepaid annual subscription part of the reason was this "feature"

"Easy Firefox integration with the Mozilla VPN extension (Windows only)"

There is nothing easy when clicking on the download for the Mozilla VPN extension yields a message that the add-on or extension has been blocked. The explanatory link provided is https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-ons-cause-issues-are-on-blocklist. That lets you know that:

"When add-ons violate Mozilla’s policies, compromise user safety or privacy, or fail to meet user expectations, Mozilla takes action. This may include disabling add-ons in Firefox to maintain a secure and reliable user experience. "

So, when will Mozilla stop violating Mozilla's policies so that the Mozilla VPN add-on is fit for use on Firefox v 149.0 [without free VPN] running on WIN10 64?

Firefox says versions earlier than 115.13 will be impacted by the certificate expiration. I've updated to 115.21 My add-ons are still disabled. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/root-certificate-expiration

It seems many don't know or haven't noticed but merely running an esr branch (rather than a developer edition) will also give you the option to enable add-ons with expired certifications via about:config.

Anyway, the "legit" way isn't working.

I am running Firefox 148.0 and Thunderbird 148.0. I am in the process of moving everything to a new (to me) computer that will run Windows 11. When I start Firefox from the start menu or the taskbar everything runs as expected. I have the Adblock Plus extension plus several others running. If I click on a Hyperlink in a email in Thunderbird instead of opening in a new tab into the currently open copy of Firefox as it did on my old computer running Windows 10 it opens in a new window with no extensions. I am assuming that I have something set incorrectly. Any help as to where I should look to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Some quite strange questions, which I'm not sure to which category it belongs to, While I use last FF on my main machine, I have another machine that still use firefox 56.0.2 since I like some of the addons there that never been remade/updated to newer FF versions,

It worked fine for years but suddenly all of the addons are disabled no matter what I've tried to do, Using backup, reinstall, about:config and setting xpinstall.signatures.required to false, you name it,

I was wondering if Mozilla pulled the plug on something or if some fixed date for things to expired has arrvied, As well as if there's a way to fix it in the settings/other means?

Some people said that Dev or Nighty edition can actually turn the xpinstall signatures to false while normal FF might have the option but won't actually do it, The problem is that I have no cluse which of their versions is equal to good old 56.0.2, Can anyone tell me?

Thx

Hello!

I first installed Video Download Helper several weeks ago and it worked fine. However, since the update of 04 March, 2026, it no longer works with YouTube. (It does, however, still work with Instagram.) Having checked all of the settings (which I had/have not changed), I uninstalled it today and then re-installed it. This hasn't helped. With YouTube, the Downloader icon (pinned to toolbar) simply remains grey and does not show any videos when opened. I am using the latest, fully updated version of Firefox with Windows 10.

Can anyone help, please?

Many thanks,

Stuart.

I'm on WinXP and Win7; FF is there respectively on ESR 52.6.0, and 56.0.2.

• • Pls refrain from lecturing me on updating etc. I need it to be this way for umpteen reasons. Thanks for understanding.**

First, all of a sudden all my legacy add-ons were disabled. Most of them ensure FF looks like it did ages ago, which is what I'm used to, and need, to function properly myself. They overall are no longer maintained or downloadable, hence the need to stay on lower browser versions as well.

Managed to fix that.

Then, last Fri, my webmail provider missed updating their security certificate. They seemingly later do, but I am left unable to access their website from FF on both machines, and Chrome on the XP. Disaster.

The error messages I get are, in FF:

[www.netaddress.com] uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown. The server might not be sending the appropriate intermediate certificates. An additional root certificate may need to be imported.

Error code: <a id="errorCode" title="SEC\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\_ERROR\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\_UNKNOWN\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\_ISSUER">SEC\_ERROR\_UNKNOWN\_ISSUER</a>

and in Chrome:

classic.netaddress.com normally uses encryption to protect your information. When Google Chrome tried to connect to classic.netaddress.com this time, the website sent back unusual and incorrect credentials. This may happen when an attacker is trying to pretend to be classic.netaddress.com, or a Wi-Fi sign-in screen has interrupted the connection. Your information is still secure because Google Chrome stopped the connection before any data was exchanged.

You cannot visit [classic.netaddress.com] right now because the website uses HSTS. Network errors and attacks are usually temporary, so this page will probably work later.

When running a SSL server test on their certificate it turned back: Chain issues Incorrect order, Contains anchor

No idea if that's relevant.

I tried just abt everything I was handed, could think of, or googled. Adding an exception included. Nothing works. Logically, the error should be on their end (w/ their old certificate, it all worked fine, now it doesn't), but somehow I keep being directed to that your root certificate having expired is the culprit.

Earlier today, I took the plunge and updated FF to 72.0.2 on the Win7 machine. (My webmail doesn't have full functionality on Chrome, so I was still very hampered in that regard there.) Now I can access the webmail -- but all my add-ons AGAIN are disabled. And what I did before to make the work does now NOT work anymore.

Can someone pls take me out of my misery? My whole existence is falling apart. I am already on 75 % (invisible) disability. Nothing works, least of all I. I am days behind on an already massively overburdened schedule. Not everyone can handle constant updates and their user interface being changed all the time. Some ppl are dependent on things looking and acting the exact same.

I'd like my add-ons back functional on the Win7 machine, and my webmail back -- INCLUDING the add-ons remaining functional, on the WinXP. Thank you.

Where is the shortcut on the toolbar for an extension? Specifically, 1 Password? It's installed, but it doesn't seem to automatically complete the password fill-in.

I want to change the name of my Firefox extension from "eBird reviewer utilities" to "eBird reviewer assistant". I thought that it would be sufficient simply to change the name in the manifest:

 "name": "eBird reviewer utilities",
 "version": "1.3.46",

to

 "name": "eBird reviewer assistant",
 "version": "1.3.47",

(This was sufficient for Chrome.)

Firefox on my Windows 11 laptop processed this exactly as I expected, picking up the new version and new name. However, Firefox on my Windows 11 desktop does not recognize that there is an update, it only says no updates available. Likewise, Firefox on my Android phone has not picked up the update.

I noticed that the name on the product page was still the old one, so I tried renaming it there, and bumping to version to 1.3.47.1. On the Developer Hub, the extension is correctly listed with the new name and version (see attached screenshot)

However, my desktop running at 1.3.46 still says "No updates found". (See second attached screenshot)

So my first question is, is the confusion related to the attempted name change? And secondly, regardless of the reason, how do get the update recognized?

I have a pacer account and it instructed me to download Firefox than go to tools to add adobe so I can submit documents to the court online. Im getting confused can anyone help walk me through this process

I have recently installed the containers extension and have been having a bit of trouble with one site (the others are fine), which seems to originate from the manner in which the site is structured. As it references new pages, they are often in a different URL. For example, you start in login.site.com, which then tries to load dashboard.site.com, but it fails authentication on dashboard.site.com because it opens in a different container. Which then tries to open the login.site.com page again, which displays the login page, but showing it tying to complete the original authentication. I have tried to add each step along the way, but without success. Is there a way to overcome this?

I have just got a new laptop and installed everything in relation to Firefox onto it. I have used the Nordpass extension for a couple of years and on the old laptop this is version 5.23.13 updated 16/10/24. On visiting the add-on and extension site today there is only a legacy version 4.33 updated 2y ago which clearly no longer works. Where has it gone. Clearly I am going to ask the same question of Nord, but I hope you can help.
