Blocking sites via (multiple) Add-ons is not working

Hello,

I had a fresh windows installation and so I had to install firefox again.For addictive reasons I use a site blocker to block certain sites: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/block-website/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search

But it didn't work anymore. So I thought maybe it is something in the add-on, but I thought I will try another one:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/leechblock-ng/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search

But this is also not working, so maybe there is something changed within firefox or something ? Or does anybody know how to get it working ? Using the latest version 150.0.1

Thanks in advance

I am a long time Chrome user but decided to give Firefox a try for various reasons. 1 like Firefox's ability to highlight and add text comments to articles and documents. One feature lacking, or maybe it exists but I have not discovered it, would be the ability to copy and save all highlights / commnents in an article / document to subsequently use them as a summary, abstract, or digest of main points To preclude having to re read the entire document again And that's wanting to do so. There is a Chrome extension called Highlighter that Does just that , supports the copy all highlights.

Is anyone monitoring this community? Has it been abandoned?

I've been having an ongoing problem. I fixed it myself, because after posting here, I had zero responses and didn't know what to do, so I messed around and tried things on my own, which seemed to fix it. But apparently, it is not fixed, and I still don't know what to do. A Firefox expert I am not.

Very simply, I use two different computers, each 2000+ miles apart. Each time, and this has worked for well over 3 years now, the entire computer is copied to a backup. The backup data is restored, the current Firefox profile, as well as the Firefox program. To repeat, this has worked for well over 3 years now.

In order to get the extensions working, that requires disabling and then reenabling each one. (Otherwise, Firefox will not access the internet.)

This time, the extensions were disabled and enabled, and everything appeared to be working fine, but nope, not a single extension works. Even choosing a different extension that is normally disabled doesn't work.

I used to use Adaware, which is on the disabled list, so I disabled the non-working Ublock Origin and enabled Adaware, and it doesn't do anything. The ads roam freely all over the page. They pop up and dance around.

Not one extension will work. New, old, enabled, disabled, whatever. Nothing.

Does it bear repeating that I am not a Firefox expert? Without an answer from someone who knows what they're doing, I may as well switch to crap, inferior Edge with the zillions of dancing, pop-up ads. And I hate Edge.

I'm begging for an expert to help here.

I want to know why DeTrumpify has been blocked. I use it to block Trump because he is toxic and I don't need that in my browser. So now the very tool I use to block all that hate has been blocked for being hateful? Mozilla, grow a back bone already! And leave my extensions alone! I'll decide what is hate on my device. I don't need a scared corporate nanny to do it for me. Pathetic. DO BETTER!

I've removed and reinstalled the extension. I've closed and opened both 1password and Firefox. I've made sure they both have no updates due. The slider in 1passwork is blue and set to integrate into the browser. But, it says there is a problem and it is not integrated.

Why? How can I get it to integrate?

Windows 11 with 32 gig of memory and a terabyte of SSD on a desktop computer...

Thanks for your suggestions.

I am returning to Firefox after a long time. I've added the bonjour start page which is working fine with one exception. I am unsure if this problem is associated with the extension or with the Firefox browser, bonjour is working fine but I get a long message in the search bar telling me "bonjour Start page" (See included image). I'm trying to customise the toolbar does not allow me to remove anything relevant to that button or whatever it is. I can drag it off the toolbar but it just goes straight back on the toolbar by itself. The long and short of it is that it's taking up quite a large chunk of the toolbar and I don't want that I know that I'm using Bonjour I don't need to be told constantly.

Any help would be appreciated Thank you

When I put my PC to sleep, my add-ons disappear and stop showing up, and I get automatically logged out of sites I was logged into. After that, a message appeared saying that Tab Session Manager was corrupted. When I tried to repair it, all 200 or so tabs I had saved previously disappeared. How can I fix this? I’m really stuck.
