• How to hide or disable notification Firefox addon/application

  Yahoo Mail asking me to add an application (a Yahoo email application) for "mailto" links. I don't want to. Notification of closure works for a long time a refresh, which means I never would close the notification, so I want to disable the notification on the subject: config but that exactly do I need to turn it off?

  Thank you to all of you guys. See you soon!

  I don't think that there is a topic: preferably config to get rid of this notification bar, because it would break important functions.

  1. Install Stylish and restart Firefox when prompted.
     • https://addons.Mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/
  2. Open the Manager of modules (Ctrl + Shift + A), then the user Styles category.
  3. Click the write New Style top. Paste the following text in the text box, name the style, and then click the "Save" button.

• Firefox addon to remember where the files have been saved for each web site, but I don't remember what it was.

  Firefox (on laptop that died) used to remember where to save the files in a given Web site (probably an addon I downloaded), but I did not now add what he was. Did anyone else enjoy this feature? What addon adds this feature?

  See, e.g., download sort:

  • https://addons.Mozilla.org/firefox/addon/download-sort/
  • https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/automatic-save-folder/

  The current versions of Firefox remember the directory to download, based on the URL.

• Why Firefox addons website cannot recognize that I use Firefox 5?

  I was using Firefox 5 for a few months now, but since last week, the Firefox addons site recognizes as Firefox 5. For example, whenever I try to install the theme recently updated, a message saying that it is "Not available for Firefox 3.5.8" there. Even this page where I type my question now, when you say 'We made some assumptions about your browser and operating system', version of Firefox shows 3.5.8 and Vista operating system shows, but I use Win7. Why is this happening? Can you please help me?

  You have or had an installed extension (MegaUpload toolbar |) NET_mmhpset) that changed the user agent.

  You have a corrupted user agent which identifies you as Firefox/3.5.8

• When it will be available for iOS Firefox addons of Firefox?

  This isn't a bug, just a general question. I was disappointed to see that Firefox for iOS (iPad air 2) don't have any addons. When it will be available for iOS Firefox addons of Firefox?

  What Addons refers to https://addons.mozilla.org/faq

  Firefox for iOS is basically a shell browser and isn't like the Android Firefox or Firefox for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux Office. It does not yet use the Gecko engine used by Firefox Android and desktop.

  Unless Extensions are made to support both, extensions made for office that Firefox does not work on Android version of Firefox and even with other means.

  There are also restrictions imposed by Apple.

  Not sure if WebExtensions will be an option.

  Also of note, the vast majority of Extensions for Firefox Android hosted on addons.mozilla.org to office and is an author of third party or the company and not from Mozilla.

• Site of Firefox Addons and other do not show words no graphics. Tough you read inside.

  I uninstalled it, Refrehsed, Reinstalled, used Revo and Iobit uninstallers, Rebooted, scanned for malware with Mbam, Hitman, Adwcleaner etc. Computer is clean. Even tried beta FF.

  The site of addons for FF is just words. I can't install Adblock it says connection is reset.

  I open anything in Chrome, it's good. I'm under 10 64-bit Windows, but FF was going well after that I upgraded and well on my other machines.

  Any suggestions?

  Have you noticed any problems with secure site certificate errors after upgrade to Windows 10?

  After obtaining Windows 10, many users are updating their security software or activate the parental control during or shortly after their upgrade to Windows 10 and Firefox may need to be put in place to work with these changes.

  Using Avast, BitDefender, ESET or Kaspersky Security software?

  If no, could you try disable the parental control of Microsoft (or that are not part of a family): http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/turn-off-microsoft-family-settings

• Half of my missing Firefox addons there is no reason for a week. Help?

  I have cultivated a number of addons while using Firefox. A week ago, I noticed that youtube videos would not automatically to the HD (which is an addon that I put in place). I looked inside and when I went to my set of addons, most of them have disappeared, including my adblock. What is strange to me is that some ARE here. If all my addons disappeared, it would make sense that there is a problem here, but the fact that some have mysteriously disappeared? I don't know what to do.

  I reinstalled the ones I remember, I had, but I know that I've had a little more than I am always missing. I am very angry because, as I said, I have cultivated these addons for a long time and I found an experience very uncomfortable with them.
  Any advice? I have Sync installed, but it does not help.

  Hello shushnow, you use avast as software security by chance? (if if you may want to consider moving to other less intrusive programs): http://www.ghacks.net/2014/11/16/latest-avast-reportedly-deleting-firefox-add-ons/

• I want to install firefox addon called "youtube video and audio downloader 0.3.5 by Chris. How can I check to see if it has malware

  How can I check if the program 'youtube downloader video and audio by Chris 0.3.5 has malicious software.
  When I go to download it has chain
  https://addons.Mozilla.org/Firefox/downloads/latest/413644/addon-413644-latest.xpi?src=userprofile

  I'm so nervous about downloading anything for fear of getting my hijacked browser or worse, because it's already happened twice. Any advice on this program or if there is a similar program to download youtube, who is known to be squeaky clean?

  Too, I have youtube downloader video and audio 0.3.5 by Chris on FF but have not used a lot or not at all. Today, Avast gave me a warning (probably a Malware DB recent update) that this product has very bad side. My two main concerns are a possible Trojan and adware popups - horse for now that I only have those on a single site, The Pirate Bay, but they are devilishly difficult to get rid of.

  Avast and some other malware utilities not come with Trojan horses, but I saw a EULA (on Board of another, may not be the same product) which explicitly stated the software would share information on the internet, probably tunnel through the firewall. Malware utilitie which would detect as a Trojan horse, or that they would assume that I installed it intentionally? How do they know?

  Are modules which arise on the FF Add-ons Manager > get guaranteed by Mozilla addons?

• seems to have a virus embeded in Firefox

The defination of a virus is something that takes control over your computer, it does. It allows me to close the window, although he fights to keep it open. I normally run Microsoft Security Essentials and did that and... Security Scanner Microsoft, Microsoft software Malious, Spybot, Malwarebytes, and Windows Defender-offline removal tool. None can find something. Yet it continues to happen. Any help would be appreciated. any suggestions? It's boring, but I could live with it, but since this isn't just I never know what else he could do, and that scares me.

• System Restore to fix the problem with new version Download Firefox addon

  I just downloaded the latest version of Firefox, and many of my programs (addons) were not compatible, so Firefox off them.  I need this back. Some have been paid, as a form of Robo, who has all my passwords to programs.   Can I do a system restore?  If I do this yesterday, I won't lose anything, since it was the first thing I did as I am connected to my computer, now, right?  I don't want to start a series of new problems by doing a system restore, if it doesn't come back all these the way they were before I downloaded the latest version of Firefox.  In the future, when I get a notice of dowload new versions of Firefox, is there a way to predict that something like that will happen?  Should I just avoid the newer versions?    I would really appreciate any help you can give me.

  System Restore will not solve the problem.
