Firefox disables broweser extensions.
my browser | 5/4/2019 | Self

Posted on 05/04/2019 7:58:53 AM PDT by Ouderkirk

I am not much of a vanity poster.

This morning I have noticed that Firefox had disabled my browser extensions for Ghostery and Adblock plus. I tried to install several other adblock anti-trackers and none of them will install.

I have tried to re-install them yet I am denied.

I hate to wave goodbye to Firefox as I have been onboard since the Netscape days. But, I cannot get these extensions to install no matter what I do and I will dump them if they want to force the issue

Happened to me also. Can a previous version be installed that would work?

I switched from Firefox to Pale Moon about five years ago.

I'd say I'm semi-satisfied.

When I really need a browser to work, I'll open a Chrome window.

My Seamonkey browser runs on Mozilla, same as Firefox. The main difference between them is Seamonkey has an onboard HTML editor which I use a lot. Seamonkey’s Adblock plus is just fine.

I’m using my work notebook and extensions seem to be working - I have FF 66.0.3 (x86) on it but the home PC doesn’t work right.

I haven’t used FireFox since Mozilla became SJW Inc. ; after what they did to Brendan Eich, I’ll never use their stuff again.

Switch to Brave. The original Firefox developer did.

Won’t do any good since the problem is with the latest Firefox version. An expired certificate on the Mozilla Add-ons infrastructure is disabling Firefox add-ons and is also preventing users from re-activating or (re-)installing extensions. Mozilla says they’re issuing a hot fix that will be automatically applied in the background within the next few hours.

Yeah, my AdBlock died last night. I got it back up and running by reinstalling it twice. I think.

the combo is working now.
