I-Firefox Community Forum

When I first install an extension, there is an option to pin that extension icon to the Firefox taskbar. But if I later unpin it, then I can never repin it back to the taskbar. In older editions of Firefox, long ago, there were ships wheel icons next to the extensions in the extension list. There was choice to "pin to the taskbar", but now there are no ship's wheel icons in the list. And therefore no way to repin the extension to the taskbar. Therefore, once I unpin an extension icon from the taskbar, I have no way to pin it back up there.

Cannot reach extensions search from Firefox about:addons page. I keep getting the following when I search for any extension.

Error 503 Backend.max_conn reached Backend.max_conn reached Error 54113 Details: cache-bfi-krnt7300022-BFI 1787247272 698900040 Varnish cache server

Firefox lately seems to create problems every time it is updated. I am really leaning towards making MSEdge my default browser because I am tired of these problems cropping up at each major update. I spent several hours this morning making sure my bookmarks and my saved logins and passwords were up to date with what I have in Firefox plus making sure my privacy and security were at it's tightest and strongest there. Major updates for Firefox use to go smoothly and seamlessly but that is now questionable.

Respectfully

I have added extensions from the Firefox store, an element remover extension, and there is no option to pin it to my toolbar when I click on the gear icon. I want all of my extensions to be added to the toolbar.

Had my laptop serviced at Best Buy, but upon booting it up the icon for 1Password in the upper tool bar was missing. Trying to figure out how to add it back. I use Mozilla Firefox and have Windows 11.

I installed a Mozilla/FF GMail Notifier App. I tho't that I removed it as I no longer needed it. It still Notifies me; annoying. But it's not in my Extension List to Remove again if need be??? How can a hidden/invisible App be still operating, that is supposed to be Removed?

Since Mozilla/FF has no option to Delete a Question, I found the answer to the above posted. MY error: It was a Google Linked App, not the one I Removed which did indeed become Removed. Sigh!

How do I answer this request? I cannot find any "ad blocking".

Your browser prevents the display of ads, ads help to run and improve this site. We show only one ad per page. Please turn off ad blocking, thank you.

It just started 2 days ago that ublock extension cause proton password manager to stop on w10 browser. I've been using this combo few years but now proton will exit straight away I can't decide which one I could let go, I mean I love them both

apparently, programmers don't understand how aggravating not having backward compatibility is to the rest of us, so please bear with my extreme aggravation here. IF IT AIN'T BROKE, QUIT FIXING IT.

 firefox disabled my addons, thus forcing me to upgrade, and now I am angry. Tried downloading the new version several times. My os is as updated as it can get. Using the APT link from this site, it just shows garbage. Using the download for linux 64 bit link, it makes me jump through hoops and looks like it is working, but it looks different and none of my bookmarks transferred over. Closing it down and reopening it, I see the old version, thus making it look like I am possibly running both versions separately. Once the *all new singing and dancing special that is supposedly so much better than the old that some ignoramus decided I MUST use it instead of the old and functional one* is closed out, I see no way to reopen it. And neither version will enable or allow me to download singlefile. That is the only program I need from firefox at this time.
 Will somebody please show me, step by step, as if I am 5 years old, a back door that will enable my addons, before I go nuts and start beating programmers to death with reams of algorithms?

have downloaded firefox because google keeps throwing up adverts continuously. Firefox is doing the same so no better off and cannot use the search bar due to adverts saying I've been hacked

Last week, all 11 of my Firefox extensions, which I've been using for years, were suddenly disabled. For each I got the same message: "[Extension name] could not be verified for use in Firefox and has been disabled." Following Firefox's instructions, in about:config I switched "extensions.langpacks.signatures.required" to FALSE, restarted my computer, but nothing changed. I tried reinstalling the extension Adblock Plus from Firefox's own list of add-ons, got the message "Installation aborted because the add-on appears to be corrupt." Any idea what's going on and what I can do?? Thank you.

iMac OS 10.11.6 El Capitan; Firefox version 78.15.0esr (64-bit)

On my Macbook Pro — OS 12.7.6 Monterey, Firefox version 136.0.2 (64-bit) — the same extensions work just fine.
