Whenever a Firefox extension connects to a particular native application for the first time, a dialog opens that looks like the attached.

I've pressed "cancel" on this prompt.

Where are the "privacy settings" I can use to revert this ? Nothing in the "Privacy & Security" section looks like it, and there's nothing in the "about:extensions" sections either.

I downloaded capital one shopping add-on. But I never established a user name or password anywhere. If I need to do this before using it, please tell me exactly where and how to do this! (All of this stuff confuses me.)

I used to have the button right visible on my Toolbar and I used it often to toggle dark and light views of websites. Now it's disappeared off the toolbar. When I click the jigsaw piece button for Extensions it only shows a few, hardly all of my installed extensions. Only if i select Manage Extensions under the jigsaw will I see all my extensions, so then I can find Dark Reader and toggle its status on or off. That's an awkward multi-step process compared to just having the button showing. So how can I get the button back?

I use Norton Password Manager. I use Firefox most of the time as my main browser. I added the Firefox extension for Norton Password Manager when I got my new laptop, but it never does anything but hang when I try to utilize it. Today I finally turned off the extension and just ran the Password Manager as a new tab on the browser and had no problem with it running. However, it doesn't give me full use of the PM. (It does at least give me my passwords and user names, which the extension wasn't doing.) I keep notes with some of my passwords that are important to me. Using the PM on Firefox on this new laptop, I've found that none of the notes show up in the windows. Is there something I haven't turned off or on that's causing the problem I'm having? I use the PM on my iphone as well and have had no troubles with it. Thanks for any help. Sally 12/14/2025

I am using Kubuntu 25.04. I tried support but the support in Firefox doesn't seem to have much help for OSes beyond Windows even though they make a native Linux version. I subscribe to several extensions and use Firefox sync to get the extensions onto a new computer but they don't automatically pin to the menu bar. I figured out how to do that once but I forgot how I did that and can't find it in help. Can someone please tell me how to do that. Mozilla, if you are reading this you might want to improve the support in your Linux version.

Can you help me out, please?

To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier.

Could you please disable your browser's Firefox addons just for a minute, make a post and see if you are still seeing that message?

How do I disable the Firefox browser's addons?

Suddenly none of my cashback extensions will activate, I click them but they are still inactive when I check. I have tried disabling ad-blocking and resetting everything all-time as far as history, ache, etc. Has there been some recent change that I can make adjustments for? I would rather not use Chrome.

My organization has an air-gapped development network in which we need to deploy an internally developed extension. We are attempting to do this via GPO with the latest version of Firefox ESR. We have been running into an issue where the extension is not being installed when the browser starts. After reviewing the distribution documentation for Firefox add-ons it appears that we have to submit the extension to be signed by Mozilla, the problem here is that our extension is on the air-gapped network and cannot be moved to an internet connected device per our clients policies.

I had read on this page page that Firefox ESR does allow unsigned extensions if you set `xpinstall.signatures.required` to `false` but that conflicts with the Add-on signing in Firefox support page that states: "Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR): Some versions allowed overrides, but most recent ESR releases also enforce signing."

So we appear to be at an impasse, we cannot have the extension signed and we are required to use the ESR version of Firefox (the Nightly and Developer versions are not allowed.) Is there anyway that we could selfsign the extension? Or bypass the requirement via GPO?

Trying to get to saved themes in Firefox Color doesn't work on some machines depending on the screen size / display. The tab next to "Custom Backgrounds" is overlaid by the huge display of the application menu. One one of my computers you can see it just below the enlarged icon, but on my laptop you can't get to it at all.

I can see it on my desktop PC - barely. On my laptop the icon overlays it completely and I can't get to saved themes. I have tried playing with zoom, but that didn't help. The default / recommended scale in Windows for two different laptops I have is 150% with resolution 1290 x 1200. If you change that to 100%, THEN you can see the saved themes, but I doubt most people would figure that out. Even at 125% I can't see it. I am attaching an example from my laptop where I changed the SCALE set to 125% (again, 150% is recommended by Windows).

Hello everyone. I make backups of folder "bookmarkbackups" in Firefox profile folder, so that when I have to make a restore after a data loss (for whatever reason), I can also restore my bookmarks. I'd like to be able to restore my extensions too, and to do this it would be enough to have a backup of the list of extensions I had installed before the trouble happened. However, if I backup the subfolder "extensions" of the profile folder, I would have a list of files the name of which looks like:

FirefoxColor@mozilla.com.xpi idcac-pub@guus.ninja.xpi uBlock0@raymondhill.net.xpi vpn@proton.ch.xpi {3d92ddc3-5581-453f-ad9f-d9ea864d1f9a}.xpi {531906d3-e22f-4a6c-a102-8057b88a1a63}.xpi

..so that in most cases I cannot guess the extension name from the file name. My purpose is to install manually the extensions in the new browser installation, once I have the list of the extensions. Moreover, in that folder you find all the extensions, both the ones which were active, and the ones which were inactive... But I'd like to have a list of the active ones so that I can re-install only that ones.

Does anyone know how can I get such a list, starting from the profile folder?

Many thanks in advance.

some of my icons on the location bar do not appear, or only appear when I have the window maximized. How can I reorder thewse icons so the ones I want to see most often are on the left? this refers specifically to the add-on icons, but I would think all the icons are controlled the same way (that is, if one can control them).
