Hi ..

I have installed 'Stop Auto Reload' extension on my browser, (..aimed at stopping Meta/Facebook from automatically reloading my page whenever they feel like it, or because I opened a link from a post.)

As directed, I have listed that site in the two relevant boxes, in the 'Options' tab to show that anything with 'facebook' in the URL should NOT auto-refresh..

But down the 'Options' page a bit further, is another box that says:

'..Don't stop a tab from auto reloading if it has a URL that starts with one of the following URLs:'

.. & it lists: 'https://www.facebook.com/checkpoint/?next'

Now.. I did NOT insert that... And the app will NOT let me remove it.! I can press shift to get another line or go back, but I cannot highlight & delete or backspace-remove that entry. Its like the extension has been tampered with..??

So Meta is still interfering with my browser when I'm on there, & stalls & reloads whenever it wants to..!!

Any advice gratefully received.. Thank you..

Unable to install ad blockers; keep getting a message that ad blocker i"s corrupt."

Never had this before from Firefox - what do I do? The ads are disturbing me!

Every few days a popup appears that tells me "An extension, Panorama Tab Groups, is hiding some of your tabs. You can still access all of your tabs from <down arrow>." It has two buttons: Disable Extension and Keep Tabs Hidden.

There seems to be no way to turn this off. I *want* the tabs hidden; that's why I have the extension installed. And I really don't want to be pestered with this popup like this. How do I stop it?

Whenever I try to log into my Eset Password Manager it says unable to log in offline. Yet Eset password manager works on other browsers. I have refresh the browser and removed and re add the Eset extension.

Hello AMO Review Team,

My Firefox extension “Locksy - Tab Locker & Password Protection” has been under review for several days, beyond the expected 24-hour timeframe from the dashboard.

Addon page: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire.../locksy/] Extension UUID: locksy@locksy.dev

Could you please update me on the review status or let me know when it can be approved as users are waiting patiently

Thank you!

I may have asked this before, When I launch Firefox, it opens the tab to the right of the active tab in the previous session. When I close a tab, it opens the tab to the right.

Am I wrong, or is that precisely the opposite of what you would expect or want?

Can someone please explain the logic of this? Is there anything that can be done about it?

I have this addon Select After Closing Current. Can I get some advice to set it up to work?

Also, why are there two product pages for it? link text

I’ve developed a Firefox extension similar to the RankingsFactor SEO Chrome Extension, which analyzes on-page SEO elements such as meta tags, headings, links, and canonical tags.

The core functionality works fine in Chrome, but when I ported it to Firefox using the WebExtensions API, I’m facing permission issues while trying to access or read the page content (DOM).

Here’s what I’m trying to do:

Inject a content script to read <meta> tags, headings, and links.

Display this extracted data inside my extension popup.

However, in Firefox, the script doesn’t seem to have proper access to the page DOM — even though I’ve included "permissions": ["activeTab", "tabs", "<all_urls>"] in manifest.json.

I’d like to know:

Are there any additional permissions required in Firefox to read page content?

Does Firefox handle activeTab or content_scripts differently than Chrome?

Is there a specific event or user action needed to grant temporary permissions?

Any help, code examples, or guidance on fixing these permission restrictions would be appreciated.

Hello, I have been using Firefox for more than 20 years, but I am now considering stopping. The reason is the new Firefox Translate extension. It constantly shows pop-ups, and there is no option to disable it. This is extremely annoying. If an option to disable this feature is not added, I will say goodbye to Firefox, because this extension works very poorly. It should only appear when needed—showing up all the time makes no sense.

Hello everyone,

Is there any software that allows software developers to see what the CSS they are creating is doing in real time ?

Because I can't imagine they're doing it blindly. I see some CSS files that have hundreds, possibly thousands, of lines.

If there is software that helps them see immediately what their CSS is doing, can it be used to create extensions (add-ons) for Firefox ?

Thank you for your attention.

There is a scam browser extension add-on here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/user/19226846/ The OKX wallet shown here is a scam. I work at the original company. For some reason, Firefox refuses to list the real extension from OKX, but keeps letting scam extensions pop up. We have been trying to connect with someone at Firefox, but none of our business emails or customer support requests have been answered. We are frustrated and confused. 1. Real apps are not allowed. 2. Fake scam apps are listed 3 times a month. 3. No clear route of communication.

I recently wiped & reloaded my computer. Multi-Account containers re-installed successfully & I see all my containers. The issue is with sign-in to Reddit.com website. If I try to login using a container, I get invalid username or password error. If I login without using a container, it's fine. I am copy/pasting my account info. I tried different containers; same issue. Tried creating a new container; same issue. Try again without using a container; login to Reddit is successful.

Dear Anyone.

Trying to download Tampermonkey for Firefox. I'm NOT very good at computers, be nice! Every time I click on the "Add Tampermonkey to Firefox" button, I get "You are not online. Please check your internet connection." and it won't download it.

I AM on the Internet, tried it just now before coming here and it still won't believe I'm online. Everything else does. Why won't Tampermonkey?

Yours puzzledly,
