Firefox new version 41 makes 'browser.newtab.url' doesn't work. the value is 'https://www.google.com.tw/' after updating, it no longer works. How to fix this problem?

My firefox just updated and I have been inundated with this 'New Tab Controls' Experience which seems to have disabled my set custom home page for new tab opens. I still the page I want to open set in browser.newtab.url in about:config, but the "New Tab Controls" experience is overriding it, showing me a blank page with a toolbar on the right allowing me to choose either a blank page or showing my top sites.

I have a large number of addons that I use for security and customization reasons. I need to be able to use these addons despite firefox thinking they are dangerous. I take full responsibility for anything that happens. I need to know how to get past the blocklist so I can get my addons working again.

Today about 5 of my extensions were disabled. Two of them I use and need Clipconverter and the Webroot filtering extension. I want these extensions back and need to know why they were disabled when I have been using them for years.

Last Pass. E-Web, and XMarks add-ons disabled on my PC using windows 10. My Mac uses Last Pass, E-Weband XMarks and it is still working. Why are these add ons disabled on the PC and not the MAC. I used these everyday and if Firefox will continue to disable these three very important add-ons I will use another browser.

Just refreshed and now have the latest "tab" format in place... but I don't like it!

I get the whole "tile" concept, but can I please turn back to opening a NewTab directly to about:home? I'm a shortcut junkie, and having to open a new tab, then select a tile is going to be a pain.

And before you ask, YES, I have previously made the about:config changes manually, and YES, I did verify that it still shows the value for newtab = about:home.

Help!

how can i disable addon signing check? working on a developer version or signing addons is not an option. i want to disable addon for specified addons only

thanks

I have used RoboForm for years with no problem. However last night I ran the latest Windows update and this morning I had no Robo Tool bar in my Firefox. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Robo and still no toolbar. I ran windows restore to 8-8-15 and there was the toolbar fully functional. Went back to windows update and had the same problem again.

In your magnificent knowledge you have decided to block 2 add-ons that I have been using for more than 20 years, and I could not figure out how to enable them. Please help ! Thank you.

Firefox updated to the latest beta version 41.0b1 at which point the add-on signing automatically disabled three extensions, - 1Password - Adobe Acrobat - Avast on-line security How can I override the disable function so I can use these extensions in the latest version?

Following latest update to this beta version java has failed completely. I noticed when I wanted to access a secure site which uses a Java plugin to start a remote desktop. On starting, it should ask if I want to run the Juniper Setup Applet, which is a Java applet. I dont get this any more on 41.0b1.

I have a backup machine running 40.0 and comparing the production and backup machine I note that the update to 41 has stripped out several addons including the Java Platform SE 8 U51. On the backup machine running 40.0 the site works correctly and the java test sites noted below work correctly.

Reinstalling Java didnt fix it and starting Firefox in safe mode didnt fix it. The site was already specified in the add-ons and popup exceptions.

Trying to verify Java at https://www.java.com and at www.test-java.com both show that Java is not installed or enabled whereas in fact it is - it is now just completely blocked in Firefox.

On my backup machine, I didnt manage to stop the auto update to 41.0b1 and once that had happended Java was broken on this machine too.

Some security is good but at this rate I might as well turn off the PC for complete security!

Any ideas?

Since upgrading to the firefox 41.0b1 my fluff buster purity doesn't work on facebook. Fbb states they do not support firefox 41--- at this time so I would like go back to the version that they do support. If I can't keep facebook clean and simple I may be forced to try a different browser.

Thank you.

I noticed what "Bookmark all tabs" feature stopped working at one point (in fact, Crating Folders from Bookmark Tab menu was not working either). I found the cause - Tab Mix Plus. Uninstalled - everything is back to normal. But I miss Tab Mix features - Duplicate tab, open closed tabs, etc.

What can I do? Is there a way to troubleshoot this issue?

My recent migration to Windows 10 went without a hitch. Then Firefox had upgrades and security updates. In this process all add-ons were disabled and cannot be activated. I get a script issue notification occasionally. Also Private Window won't work. Are these issues likely to be resolved soon or do I have to take some further action?

Got desktop back from service and now every browse session is substantially slowed by https which I did not request, understand or necessarily desire.

I want to get rid of it. I tried doing something as suggested on line without result.

I'm not tech savvy and hope for a solution stated simply enough that even I can follow the directions. Assuming I know anything about computers is a great way to give directions that are beyond my grasp. Please dumb it down for me.

Thank you.
