Firefox Community Forum

All of my links end up at the same site no matter where they should go I found an extension I think was causing the problem but it is grayed out so I can't delete it

I am using Kubuntu 25.04. I tried support but the support in Firefox doesn't seem to have much help for OSes beyond Windows even though they make a native Linux version. I subscribe to several extensions and use Firefox sync to get the extensions onto a new computer but they don't automatically pin to the menu bar. I figured out how to do that once but I forgot how I did that and can't find it in help. Can someone please tell me how to do that. Mozilla, if you are reading this you might want to improve the support in your Linux version.

Hello everyone. I make backups of folder "bookmarkbackups" in Firefox profile folder, so that when I have to make a restore after a data loss (for whatever reason), I can also restore my bookmarks. I'd like to be able to restore my extensions too, and to do this it would be enough to have a backup of the list of extensions I had installed before the trouble happened. However, if I backup the subfolder "extensions" of the profile folder, I would have a list of files the name of which looks like:

FirefoxColor@mozilla.com.xpi idcac-pub@guus.ninja.xpi uBlock0@raymondhill.net.xpi vpn@proton.ch.xpi {3d92ddc3-5581-453f-ad9f-d9ea864d1f9a}.xpi {531906d3-e22f-4a6c-a102-8057b88a1a63}.xpi

..so that in most cases I cannot guess the extension name from the file name. My purpose is to install manually the extensions in the new browser installation, once I have the list of the extensions. Moreover, in that folder you find all the extensions, both the ones which were active, and the ones which were inactive... But I'd like to have a list of the active ones so that I can re-install only that ones.

Does anyone know how can I get such a list, starting from the profile folder?

Many thanks in advance.

All my addd ons (Ad Blocker, DuckDuckgo privacy essentials, Sound fixer, To google translate) are all turned on but they are all disabled. Maybe since this last update?

This topic was already dealt with at https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://support.mozilla.org/si/questions/1491724&ved=2ahUKEwjh3JWX1KSRAxWDyMkDHYXfDf0QFnoECBsQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2Zp2I2jgPnZ9gkSf5UgMGS. The solution given there was to change extensions.screenshots.disabled in about:config.

Unfortunately, my Mozilla Firefox (ver. 144.0 (64-bit)) doesn't have extensions.screenshots.disabled. So what now?

some of my icons on the location bar do not appear, or only appear when I have the window maximized. How can I reorder thewse icons so the ones I want to see most often are on the left? this refers specifically to the add-on icons, but I would think all the icons are controlled the same way (that is, if one can control them).

I use Norton Password Manager. I use Firefox most of the time as my main browser. I added the Firefox extension for Norton Password Manager when I got my new laptop, but it never does anything but hang when I try to utilize it. Today I finally turned off the extension and just ran the Password Manager as a new tab on the browser and had no problem with it running. However, it doesn't give me full use of the PM. (It does at least give me my passwords and user names, which the extension wasn't doing.) I keep notes with some of my passwords that are important to me. Using the PM on Firefox on this new laptop, I've found that none of the notes show up in the windows. Is there something I haven't turned off or on that's causing the problem I'm having? I use the PM on my iphone as well and have had no troubles with it. Thanks for any help. Sally 12/14/2025

Hi,

I am in the UK I want to access channel t catch-up service and get a request to disable the ad-blocker.

I have no idea what the icon looks like or how else to mam=nage it. I didn't know that I had an ad-blocker.

See screen dump of the FAQ

Help most welcome

Thanks

Suddenly none of my cashback extensions will activate, I click them but they are still inactive when I check. I have tried disabling ad-blocking and resetting everything all-time as far as history, ache, etc. Has there been some recent change that I can make adjustments for? I would rather not use Chrome.

Can you help me out, please?

To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier.

Could you please disable your browser's Firefox addons just for a minute, make a post and see if you are still seeing that message?
