In summary, the individual had been using FireFox for months without any issues until today when they downloaded an extension for an online dictionary. After restarting their computer, they noticed that all old extensions had been disabled and attempts to re-download them were unsuccessful. They were advised to delete their profile and after doing so, everything worked fine again.

I have been using FireFox for months, and everything works soooo fine until today. The story goes like this:
-----------------------
I downloaded an extension for an online dictionary. Then, I closed all Firefox windows, and opened Firefox again, so the new extension can be installed. And the programme crashed...:cry:
I restart the computer, and open Firefox again, it says all old extensions have been disabled:frown:. Then, I open the extension window to check what had happened, and I saw nothing...:confused:
Then I tried to download all the old extensions I had before, but it does not allow me to do it. When I click on the 'Install Now' link, the extension window just shows up, but nothing else ever happens, it does not even start to download the extension...:confused:
I don't really know what has happened, so what should I do now?:confused: :confused:
Thanks,
Any help will be appreciated,
Viet Dao,

You need to delete your profile. What operating system are you using?

1. Why is my Firefox extension not working?

There could be several reasons why your Firefox extension is not working. It could be due to a conflict with another extension, a recent update to Firefox that is not compatible with your extension, or a bug in the code of your extension. It is important to check for any error messages or console logs to troubleshoot the issue.

2. How do I troubleshoot issues with my Firefox extension?

The first step in troubleshooting any issue with your Firefox extension is to check for any error messages or console logs. This will give you a better understanding of where the issue may be coming from. You can also try disabling other extensions to see if there is a conflict. Additionally, you can try updating your extension or Firefox to the latest version to see if that resolves the issue.

3. What should I do if my extension is not showing up in Firefox?

If your extension is not showing up in Firefox, it could be due to a few reasons. First, make sure that your extension is installed and enabled in Firefox. If it is, check to see if there are any updates available for your extension or Firefox. If the issue persists, try restarting Firefox or reinstalling the extension.

4. How do I report a bug with my Firefox extension?

If you encounter a bug with your Firefox extension, you can report it by going to the support page for your extension. There, you can fill out a bug report form and provide details about the bug, including steps to reproduce it and any error messages or console logs. This will help the developers identify and fix the issue.

5. Can I fix issues with my Firefox extension on my own?

It depends on the issue and your level of expertise. Some simple issues, such as conflicts with other extensions, can be fixed by disabling or removing the conflicting extension. However, for more complex issues, it is best to reach out to the extension developer or community for assistance. They will have a better understanding of the code and can help you troubleshoot and fix the issue.
