more options

Form History Control (II) FoxyProxy Standard

These 2 extensions just installed themselves in Firefox ESR and disabled ALL my current extensions!!? I can't seem to remove them either.. please help!

I'm running Parrot OS (Linux) and had just signed myself in @hackthebox.com , which is a friendly place where people can learn to develop their cybersecurity skills. security on this site should be great, i don't know if this could be the issue...

Thanks in regards!

Websites can't install extensions without a prompt appearing for you to approve or cancel the installation.

If you open the About:Policies page (type or paste about:policies in the address bar and press Enter/Return to load the page), is there anything listed on the Active panel? Normally, the Active panel just says "The Enterprise Policies service is inactive." so if you see that, the extensions were not manipulated by a policies.json file.

If you use Firefox Sync, could you check whether any other devices are connected to your account:
