Hi everyone,

I recently built a small Firefox extension for my website https://calcolo-stpendionetto.it https://calcolo-stpendionetto.it , which helps users calculate their net salary in Italy using updated IRPEF and INPS rates.

However, when I try to upload the extension to addons.mozilla.org addons.mozilla.org (AMO), I keep getting this error message: Signing is not possible due to an error with the manifest file

{

 "manifest_version": 2,
 "name": "Calcolo Stipendio Netto",
 "version": "1.0",
 "description": "Calculate your Italian net salary (IRPEF, INPS, regional tax) quickly.",
 "icons": {
   "48": "icons/icon48.png",
   "128": "icons/icon128.png"
 },
 "browser_action": {
   "default_popup": "popup.html"
 },
 "permissions": ["activeTab"]

} I also tried switching to manifest_version 3, but then Firefox gave a warning that some properties like browser_action are deprecated or not recognized.

Has anyone experienced the same issue when uploading finance or calculator-related extensions? Is there a new manifest format or signing rule I might be missing for Firefox extensions?

Any help or examples from working extensions would be greatly appreciated. Marien Klin

My system was hacked and I had to factory restore it. I didn't write down my login/passwords because I was informed that as long as I had my sign in for FireFox I could restore them on my system.

Alas, I cannot figure out how to do this. I do not have a passkey, a profile or anything other than the email address for my system.

Can you help me? I put all of my important documents in Dropbox and now I can;t access that either.

Anything you can do is appreciated.

I had a mainstream company website start some of this months ago and now I seem to be getting more and more similar connection problems for other sites. My pc works just fine on nearly every other site so I just don't see it as my pc. I asked my ip and although I question whether they will help much but they did say nothing from their side. Yes I am up to date on ffox and OS. Clearing cookies does nothing. Some sites just say access denied, some will just never load or have some bs 'oops' or 'something went wrong' message. Chrome seems to mostly work but it may be goofy getting the sites working. These all used to work fine before. It does have the same or similar problem using other pc's on the same network. I can find nothing in my modem/router that is blocking anything. How do I find out what is wrong?

I have an Intel I5 PC that runs MS Win XP. The reason that I'm still running that ancient OS is because of whats inside it. I have two old boards in it that I still use and quit honestly can't afford several thousand dollars to replace them. And the new machine to go with them.

I need to get online to download the few pieces of software I need That are still out there. But like most sites they examine your machine to see what versions you need and it's a download and install package. So I can't use a different PC.

My question is: Is there a version of Firefox I can download that will work on XP, and not be ignored like is done to IE 8. And that I can then transfer to the XP (service pack 3) box for installation?

I successfully imported the book marks and see multiple bookmarks folders in library. At least one of them really has the bookmarks. But when I enable show bookmarks, they are nowhere to be seen

after Firefox update all bookmarks stopped working and are not editable. All tabs crash, including Firefox help link from the Firefox menu.

Password list is blank - no entries

Is there any way to retrieve bookmarks?

I need to enter each url in the browser line and save bookmark for it to work.

Can you please help?

Everything is gone, I have had to reinstall windows 4 times in the last week with a new PC and now all my sync data is gone...Chrome remembers everything fine and Mozilla did remember everything until this install and now its not syncing anything.

If this stuff is gone so am I.

Have tried logging in with my google account, tried logging in with Moz account, tried sync button over and over tried restarting, tried uninstalling and reinstalling and manually deleting all the folders STILL NO SYNC DATA AT ALL.......

I see this popping up, however my system is running on Windows 11, NOT 10. "Windows 10 reached EOS (end of support) on October 14, 2025. If you are on Windows 10, see this article."

There are times when i am using Firefox that my PC will randomly disconnect from the internet. Sometimes it will reconnect on its own after I close Firefox. Other times I either have to restart my PC or go into Network & Internet settings and connect to my network. I am still running Window 10, free updates. Does anyone know what is causing this? It does not happen with any other browsers.

Hello,

I have disabled AI according to the instructions given by Mozilla, under settings and AI controls. When I search, I still get the first result as an AI generated result. I want to disable that. I don't need AI's help to understand what I am looking for. I want an old school search without AI.

Is this possible? If not, could you please make it possible?

Thanks.
