Hi

For security reasons, add-ons are blocked for running on a number of Mozilla websites (including this one).

I hope that this explains what you are experiencing.

The message indicates whether the add-on has permission to read the data out of the current page. Some newer add-ons (Manifest v3) require that you click the item to grant permission, while older add-ons can have global permissions after installation.

  • IDM Integration Module and Adblock should have permission to access/modify pages on all non-restricted sites. Is there a non-Mozilla site where these add-ons don't have permission to work?
  • Instab and Insta Media Downloader only have permission to access pages on Instagram, so this message is normal when you are viewing a different site.
  • Save Image In Folder uses the "activeTab" permission, so Firefox grants permission when you use its right-click context menu.
