no :(

Bummer  !

The only thing I can think of right now is to ask you :

Did you download Firefox from here :

https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/  ?

"their"? but the problem is with any extension...

I repeat : " Your screenshot shows only uBlock Origin ...... "

Did you remove the other extensions  ? And if so : why  ?

I should have realized that you re-installed Firefox, tried to install extensions, which didn't work, so you removed them. You tried again with uBlock Origin - you kept that one, but it doesn't work. You didn't contact uBlockOrigin's support, as this happens with every add-on that you try to install, so why bother. Makes sense to me ....

For the add-ons in general, would you take a look at this article please :

Does this help  ?
