As usual on forums, none of the subject choices exactly fit my situation/problem, so I apologize for any unintended misdirection.

How do I uninstall Privacy Badger. It's been disabled, but not uninstalled. Please be specific as to keystrokes, screens, boxes, location of item. Many instructions tend to overuse computer jargon or common industry synonyms used daily within their sphere, which a laymen cannot easily translate, and often raise more questions than they answer. Installed on my Firefox browser. Thank you in advance.

Hello. I developed an addon to delete multiple reddit posts. It's built with the help of claude but regularly passes ReferenceError: browser is not defined

I'm adding the 3 files for the overview. Does firefox need some sort of API? https://storage.to/c/IXAJT4jqn

Some quite strange questions, which I'm not sure to which category it belongs to, While I use last FF on my main machine, I have another machine that still use firefox 56.0.2 since I like some of the addons there that never been remade/updated to newer FF versions,

It worked fine for years but suddenly all of the addons are disabled no matter what I've tried to do, Using backup, reinstall, about:config and setting xpinstall.signatures.required to false, you name it,

I was wondering if Mozilla pulled the plug on something or if some fixed date for things to expired has arrvied, As well as if there's a way to fix it in the settings/other means?

Some people said that Dev or Nighty edition can actually turn the xpinstall signatures to false while normal FF might have the option but won't actually do it, The problem is that I have no cluse which of their versions is equal to good old 56.0.2, Can anyone tell me?

Thx

I am the developer of FastF1, an open source Python package for downloading and analyzing Formula 1 race results, timing data and telemetry. The package is widely used in the fan community for independent analysis of results. For some advanced features, the addon requires users to authenticate with their Formula1/F1TV account. Since their services don't have an open login API, a companion addon is required to allow users to sign in using their browser and the official website.

I have just noticed that my developer account has been banned and the addon was blocked in Firefox. I have not received any email about this and don't know why exactly this decision was made. I'd like appeal this and reinstate my account and the addon, but I don't know how to proceed from here.

FastF1 and the companion addon are fully open source and intend no harm to users. https://github.com/theOehrly/Fast-F1 https://github.com/theOehrly/fastf1-companion

I hope this problem can be resolved.

I don't plan to use any provided AI chatbot. I want to use models that I have downloaded and tested myself and which run on my PC. So please add the possibility to connect through major LLM APIs, the same way other tools way simpler than Firefox already allow to do.

Hello, I have Facebook Container installed (Windows 11) on my desktop. However, if I click a link to a FB page, say in an email or on a webpage, Facebook opens onto the current tab and makes it a container tab. Since I can not go back once FB is opened in the container tab, I have to open a new tab and go back to the original (pre FB) webpage. This is the only time this happens.

What settings can I change so that the Facebook Container opens Facebook into a new tab, not on top of an existing open tab?

Many thanks for the millions of us that are computer challenged.

I have a few extensions in Firefox but if I click on the extensions button in the toolbar it now takes me to a Personalize Firefox page where, if I click on Extensions, it only gives me the option of turning them off or on and not to activate or access them. For instance, one extension is Volume Booster which cannot be adjusted on this page. How can I get back to being able to actually using these add-ons?

hi I would like ask if is any way manually to update Root Certificate for my old firefox 88 .My extension ublock stop working today .I try to this but not works in my firefox .

about:config xpinstall.signatures.required to false extensions.langpacks.signatures.required to false

I do not want to update my firefox .There is any way to do somthing to works Add-Ons.

I just started getting an annoying ding/small pop-up window that appears to be a link to various ads . . . I would like to get rid of it.

I assume it is FIrefox, as it started happening after my most recent update. I also assume there is a setting I can use, but I don't see a settings icon in Firefox. <Sigh>

Possibly it only pops up when I'm using Duck Duck Go, but I'm not sure about that.

Sure need some help here . . . much appreciated.

I have added the "Firefox Multi-Account Containers." I see the container icon, indicating it is "contained."

I have clicked manage containers and created separate containers like news for instance. I switch between personal, news, shopping and used each supposedly separate container.

But, I see the same history in each, which is not what I expected. Do I need a different Firefox account for each container?

I was using Video Download Helper to download some YouTube videos. Suddenly, it stopped this evening. The button would remain grey. I tried using another LinkedIn video, and it worked, but it did not work with any YouTube video links. I gained access after I got a license 2-3 weeks ago Any suggestion on what is happening with YouTube links

If I use extension 'Block Site' (shows up as a stop-sign shaped icon with a 'W' on it) to block a site, when I try to unblock it, it fails, with the below message:

"This operation cannot be performed in incognito mode. Please open the page in a regular browsing window and try again."

I am just clicking on the (whichever) site, from a search - not opening a private window... This extension used to work fine.

I did install DuckDuckGo browser, but removed it, as it was more trouble than it was worth. I would have to reboot my PC after each use before FireFox would connect.

I've been using MAC (multi-account containers) for a few months. Awesome feature, especially useful for logging into multiple email accounts in the same tenant (M365, GW, etc). In the recent past, if I had an issue with a particular login, I could go to the Firefox Multi-Account Containers extension button on the top bar, click on it...then Manage Containers, select the container to manage, there was a set of options, one of them being "Clear Cookies and Site Data" (or similarly worded). That would clear the data for that MAC which would resolve my issue. Now. that option is no longer shown when clicking the Manage Containers button. I've included a snapshot of what is shown now.

The ability to clear the data for that particular MAC is invaluable. How can I get that back?

MacOS (26.3.1 a). Firefox 150.0 (aarch64)

P.S. I just found the "Report" option on the extension itself in the Extension settings. I will post this message there as well.

I've been extensively relying on the `Ctrl+Alt+X` shortcut to spin up the selected chatbot in the sidebar, but ever since I reset my pc (complete reset, cloud download of windows, clear all apps and files) and re-installed firefox, the keyboard shortcut isn't working for me anymore.

I installed firefox with chocolatey, upon noticing that the shortcut had stopped working, I tried to downgrade to v145, which didn't help either. So an uninstall and re-install later (this time manually downloading the installer exe), `Ctrl+Alt+X` still doesn't work. Although hovering over the chatbot's icon in the sidebar shows the shortcut in the tooltip.

More info: `choco uninstall firefox` created a backup of "Old Firefox Data" or something similar, could that have somehow persisted the malfunction across installs?

Any help would be appreciated! System: Windows 10 Pro Firefox: 146

I am a member of Nielsen Computer App. Why did Firefox quit allowing me to use/add this extension?? I guess if this is going to be a problem I will uninstall Firefox AGAIN and go with Chrome. I really like Firefox, but this is so upsetting that I cannot add the Nielsen Extension like before.
