The Firefox Extension is not actively monitored for security. Sounds like I would not want to add it to my Mozilla VPN, yet it appears you want me to. Do I add it or not?

I was shocked to just now review "permissions" for the 2 Firefox extensions I have installed - an ad blocker and an RSS feed reader - and see that both have "Access your data for all websites" permission.

Looking that up, I found that means, "The extension could READ the content of any web page you visit, as well as data you enter into those web pages, such as USERNAMES and PASSWORDS!"

Seriously?

I realize Mozilla can read login and password info, but why in the world does an ad blocker or feed reader need the ability to read logins and passwords?

I realize login data may be practically impossible to separate from other FORM data, YET neither an ad blocker nor a feed reader should need to read page FORM INPUT data anyway!

Looks to me like Mozilla is being way too lax in allowing extension permissions not needed.

In particular, if any extension can read account login and password data, there should be a pop-up warning, and IMO such should not be allowed where not required.

Hello, I can no longer use the Download Helper extension on YouTube. I purchased the plugin, but it stays gray when I play a YouTube video, and it doesn't work. I tested it on videos I'd already recorded. Is there a setting I need to adjust? Can you help me? Thank you.

Bonjour, je ne peux plus utiliser l'extension Download helper sur You tube. J'ai acheté le plugin, mais, il reste grise quand je lance une video sur youtube et cela ne fonctionne pas. J'ai testé sur des vidéos que j'avais déja enregistrées. Y a t il un réglage à faire ? Pouvez vous m'aider ? merci

I purchased "Lifetime Video DownloadHelper" Sept 15, 2024 for $28.50. I installed it for the first time May 10, 2023 in/on Firefox and enjoyed it until it stopped working a few months ago. Can someone help me retrieve my purchase info like registration number and help me learn how to get it to work as it did for the last 6 months? It seemed to run only (or best) on Firefox my preferred Browser.

Video DownloadHelper icon still appears in Firefox, but is shaded (colors no longer show) and indicates no media present.

I have reinstalled "Video DownloadHelper" several times to no avail.

Please do what you can to help me get "Lifetime Video DownloadHelper" working again. It has helped me to gather some wonderful music (and many other kinds of videos).

Best Regards,

Hello Can you please help me find an adblocker for old Firefox 78.15.0esr. I have looked everywhere.

I have to stay on an old OSX (Mac 10.11) and use Firefox 78.15.0esr (for various reasons I cannot upgrade). I had an adblocker that worked brilliantly, but a few weeks ago it was removed (not by me), so the Ads came back!

Recent attempts to download ad blocker as before were not successful. ?incompatibility I think.

Many many thanks Jane

Hello There.

I'm using the "Port Authority" extension on my windows PC, it is looking very good. I was hoping to add it to my Android Firefox but cannot find it, is it available for Android?

Many thanks Dermot

why is it that ever since the FORCED update crap, i can no longer have ad blockers? why am i now FORCED to watch ads for videos as short as 1 minute 52 seconds?

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH YOU GUYS AT MOZILLA? firefox USED TO BE something i would recommend to people but, now that i can no longer have facebook container, any ad blockers or anything else for privacy, i dont see no reason to recommend firefox any longer. if i have to continue waiting 10-15 minutes for a 5 minute video to load just so the ads can load first, and i can no longer have ANY privacy online, there is no need for me to continue using firefox because i can go through the EXACT SAME BULLCRAP USING google or internet explorer, i can have the SAME amount of time and bandwidth WASTED on ads as using google or internet explorer.

i got a message from you guys saying i HAD NO CHOICE but to update or not be able to use the internet, i tried, then you guys sent me the message that i can NOT update for windows 7 (even though your site said windows 7 CAN get the up to date firefox web browser) because my computer is TOO DAM OLD! WHY THE HELL DO YOU LIE TO PEOPLE LIKE THAT! NOT EVERYONE CAN AFFORD THE COST OF A NEW COMPUTER EVERY TIME WE TURN AROUND! ESPECIALLY US WHO ARE DISABLED AND ARE ON A FIXED INCOME!

IF I WANTED TO WATCH SO MANY ADS, I WOULD GET A SATELITE DISH AND WATCH THE PARAMOUNT NETWORK!

NO privacy while web browsing? so you guys are just letting facebook track me online now! what the hell?? not to mention 300 ADS instead of seeing what my friends post to face book or the pages i am following!

want me top stay with you guys for a web browser? then i need the ad blockers add-ons and privacy ad-ons back!

ps. word of mouth spreads pretty fast!

I’m using old firefox version 55.0.3 because it supported imacros 8.9.7 but now when I load the extension file it says the file is corrupted. Is there anyway I can use the extension?

Hello, i am wondering about the blocking of extensions on "Quarantined Domains".

Is there a list of them available to explore? Who maintains this list? Can some fishy website admin add his domain to it to block some 3rd party security addons? How can i whitelist a fishy extension on only 1 blocked site without losing the protection?

The faq articles are not really helpful for this.

Recently I've had the Un-welcome experience of Scripts triggered on YouTube, which Over-ride my Installed extensions to Firefox.

I've had YouTube, somehow Disable extensions and refresh the webpage... Without my concent or even an option for concent!

I've even blocked the popup window, which triggers the script which performs this action within another extension... and within 7-10 days Youtube has by passed the bypass that i've employed...

In my opinion a web-browser which allowes for extensions to be installed and run... should Block any and All scripts which try to disable extensions!

I seriously hope this can be looked into asap... or someone in the community has a work around, as my work around (blocking hte window which triggres the script, which disables the extension....) was by-passed within 7-10 days...

I used to think myself a compettent net user, but i'm aged out atm... still if i'm unable to prevent this sh*t and manipulation within FireFox, I doubt the average user or the layman will have a chance in hell of being secure and keeping their chosen extensions running...

This needs looking into ASAP!

Hello 1) How can I stop Google pop-ups? Each time I open a homepage that requires a log-in, a Google pop-up is disturbing and presses me to log-in via Google. This is harassment. I do not want to be harassed. 2) Firefox support: Each time I would like to get an answer, that is what I want, when I ask for support, I have do a lot of work until I get the bottom to contact you. Time is money, for me too. Where is the direct button to ask? 3) When I got an answer from you, is there a way I can store my questions and your answers? Asking and getting an answer by E-mail would be a good solution, but as I learned e-mail is not allowed to contact you. Kind regards, Ernst Kupfer.

I have Dark Reader installed and it works perfectly almost anywhere, but ironically, Firefox' support forum itself comes out all white regardless if it's on or off?

I'm on OpenSuse Leap 15.6 with KDE Plasma 5.27.11.
