Firefox Community Forum

I am observing a trend where popular extensions, such as the "I don't care about cookies" extension, change ownership and become derelict and/or malware, as clearly pointed out in recent reviews for the extensions. However, it takes multiple clicks to get to this information in the reviews, and there is very little curation.

I understand it is likely highly infeasible to audit extensions for malware in any comprehensive way, however I definitely feel that there is room for enhancement of the present processes.

I think this extension search process should be more proactive in informing users of these events. For example, rather than just displaying a star rating next to the extension name, displaying chronological trends would be more information-dense. Like if recent reviews are trending negative. This could also reward and incentivise extensions which are properly supported, (and not malware), displaying that their reviews are maintaining / increasing positivity over time.

A supporting feature could be publicising changes of ownership of an extension prominently - "This extension has changed ownership N times, the most recent change was Y-date to X-owner. Reviews have trended Z since that time".

Is something like this being worked on already? If so I am interested in contributing to it.

Hi,

I'm currently on Firefox Developer Edition version 136.0b6, and for some reason the search bar no longer displays the https:// header. Is it possible to turn this back on?

Confused. I've never used it, but Is this list meant to convey that I've used it five times, in relation somehow to Reddit and Youtube?

Are those address automatically created upon addon installation? Are they still available for use, or Is that just their way of informing me that if I want to use Relay going forward I'll have to pay?

Hi,

I've been designing an invitation using canva on the fedex website. It looked good, but when I went back this week to the same site, I got an error:

"Firefox Can’t Open This Page

To protect your security, www.canva.com will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it. To see this page, you need to open it in a new window."

Of course, I can't open it in a new window. I don't seem to be able to use this site at all now. This error wasn't there before.

Is anyone else able to open canva via fedex's website? Is there something I can do to disable this security feature temporarily? https://www.office.fedex.com/default/canva is the link.

No audio coming out of any website while streaming using Firefox. No issue with Google Chrome. This started recently. Windows 11 Home Edition Version 24H2 Build 26100.3194

Any help?

Thank you
