The moment my version of Firefox auto-updated to 141.0.2 (64-bit), all of my extensions disabled. There is no option to re-enable them and no indicator of why they are disabled.

I found that switching to a new profile allows them to work, but of course that's not really an option; I have huge amounts of custom stuff in eg. Greasemonkey that I cannot afford to lose.

What can I do to preserve my extensions without losing things like Greasemonkey scripts? Again, deleting them and reinstalling them is not an option if it would lose their individual configurations.

Addon warning unclear

Hi, an addon I was using was automatically disabled, with a banner containing the following text and a link to "see details": "This extension is restricted for violating Mozilla’s policies and has been disabled. You can enable it, but this may be risky."

This is vague and unhelpful, but maybe the "see details" link will provide more context.

If I click this link, I go to a new page which has the following: "This extension, theme, or plugin violates Mozilla's add-on policies. Version deleted"

This is even worse, as it's not clear what has happened, what I should do (if anything) and gives me no confidence in the process. Does "Version deleted" mean the developer deleted this, Mozilla deleted this, is it just this version or is it all versions? Why what it deleted, was there a security problem I should be concerned about, or does it no longer run on supported Firefox releases?

While I would be interested the reason for the specific addon, it seems to me there's a more important process and UX issue here.

Side note, there seems to be no topic for addons, which seems like an oversight.

Good day,

The old version of Firefox prior to July 26, 2025 opened multiple browsing tabs. These tabs looked like the ones from my toolbar.

When I uninstalled Firefox after July26, 2025 and reinstalled it I opened and still all of the tabs would open again.

I tried to delete the history and still the tabs opened. I refreshed and reset and still the tabs opened.

I do not want to lose saved history or have to delete multiple tabs every time I open the browser.
Thank you

A credit union has changed everything they had to login and use their website. I have to call every time I want to pay a bill ,so they can turn something on, or off, showing I am using a computer I have used in the past. It is their security. I was told that, in order for them to recognize my computer I have to turn off, uncheck the box saying to clear my history when I close my browser. I can no longer clear my history or cache if I want to use my bank. There has to be somewhere, to place them in the privacy and security setting so this does not delete what has to be kept in order to have my PC recognized by the worst IT department at any bank, so I don't have make transactions, only during bank hours, and wait 30 minutes on the phone to get this turned off. What instructions can you send me to stop JUST that credit union from being cleared on my History and Cache?

Video distortion/tiling in first few seconds of streaming video

I had to rebuild my Windows 11 this week. Since installing Firefox, streaming videos in Youtube are distorted with significant tiling during the first few seconds. The video has to be rewound manually to see the beginning unhindered, sometimes rewound several times because the tiling still happens, albeit less so with each rewind. I had to rebuild the Windows 11 because some mysterious problem, possibly from a Windows update a couple of months ago, caused a growling hardware contention noise during video or video games that would cycle through several harmonic levels and sometimes move across the stereo plane. Just before the rebuild it became continuous and untennable. The rebuild did not get rid of that problem completely, but there have only been a couple of tiny hardware contention noises since then. This tiling of Youtube video is brand new. The system is pretty much the same now as it was before the rebuild. I still have the old OS on another internal drive so it would be possible to compare files. I just want to know why all of a sudden Firefox is showing this momentary tiling in Youtube. I tried Chrome and there was no titling. Thanks for your time.

The settings page is vaguely providing an option to turn off this feature. I don't care what you want to call it, be it AI/ML/chatbot, it's not related to browsing the internet and I don't want it. I don't want it to consume ANY resources of my computer, I don't want it to exist in my computer unless I EXPLICITLY use it, I don't want to be FORCED to go and search everything in about:config page to get it completely (probably) deactivated. Provide a button that DOES deactivate and hide (without running it in the background either) the whole AI/ML/chatbot integration. I don't want to use it, again, I don't want it being shoved in my face or my computer against my will. Firefox IS a web browser. Otherwise, let's stop making any kind of websites (eshops, newspapers, social media and other) since they will not be browsed by people that want to browse the web, since the web browser decided to put AI in front of everything to consume everyone's content and dictate their own design, alignments caused by bias disagreements etc etc.
