Can't pin an extension to the toolbar

I have Bitdefender SecurePass Installed, enabled and populated but I can't put an icon for it on my toolbar or, apparently, actually activate it in any other way. Bitdefender suggests there is a bug in Firefox causing this. They suggested that setting Firefox to save history should fix it but it didn't. They also suggested that working in incognito mode might be the problem. I have tried turning off incognito mode and this still has not solved my problem.

When I originally set up SecurePass, it worked fine - the logo icon appeared on the toolbar and it activated when required. I then had a problem with getting multiple popups that purported to be warnings from Firefox about viruses and trojans. I eventually had to completely uninstall and then reinstall Firefox in order to get rid of the popups and now I have this problem with being unable to actually use Bitdefender SecurePass.

I'm wondering if there's any way to have a button toggle for a setting exposed via about:config?

The reason for my ask is that I currently use a second Firefox profile, where full-screen-api.ignore-widgets is set to True, in order to have full-screen videos inside a firefox window, meaning I can fully expand a video into the window that its open in, without taking up the entire screen. Extremely good for productivity reasons.

Now, the only slight issue that I have is that sometimes I wanna easily swap back without needing to move the video tab to my main profile - and hoping that it's possible somehow without exposing myself to lax security practices - I found it might be possible when using fx-autoconfig - but it does concern me when it states "Please note that malicious external programs can now inject custom logic to Firefox even without elevated privileges just by modifying boot.sys.mjs or adding their own script files.".

I essentially just want an true/false button for the full-screen-api.ignore-widgets setting instead of needing to swap profiles/manually enter about:config to swap the boolean value back and forth.

Hi everyone,

I use Firefox for most of my research and frequently save articles, documentation, and webpages for work. Is there a simple way to turn this content into presentation slides without copying everything manually? I recently came across MagicSlides AI PPT Maker, which seems to generate presentations from existing content, and I'm wondering if anyone here has tried it or knows similar tools that work well with Firefox.

Hello,

I'am testing a GPO to deploy the Lockself extension on windows 11 for Firefox 152, the JSON used in the GPO setting is the following :

{"{ca613ee6-4211-4ae2-aa3c-d29608461d11}":{"installation_mode":"force_installed","install_url":"https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/lockself-password-manager/latest.xpi","updates_disabled":false}}

And i have enabled an another setting to prevent the extension to be disabled or uninstalled by specifing the ID of the extension : ca613ee6-4211-4ae2-aa3c-d29608461d11

The policies are visibles under about:policies and they don't show any error.

The issue is that i'am still able to disable Lockself but going in Firefox parameters then under password and autofill. On the image attached, the button "Desactivate the extension" is here and you can use it, it disable the extension.

Regards

After installing the English (US) dictionary extensions from AMO, they are reported as installed with a ‘Remove’ option, yet do not appear in the about:addons extensions

I installed the English (US) dictionary add-ons from Mozilla Add-ons (English-US Dictionary and US English Dictionary). Firefox confirms they are installed and shows a “Remove” option, but they do not appear in about:addons under Dictionaries or Extensions. Additionally, the dictionary features are not working on webpages—there is no “define” option on text selection, and no dictionary/lookup functionality appears even after double-clicking words or using context menu options. The add-ons only appear as installed on their web pages.

Expected behavior: Installed dictionaries should be visible in about:addons and provide word lookup/definition functionality in the browser. Actual behavior: Add-ons are not listed in about:addons and provide no visible or usable dictionary features on webpages.
